ROUND
1 – BULGARIA 3-4 APRIL 4
April 2009, Sevlievo (Bulgaria) –
Three GP wins, clean sweep of all the motos, and the lead of three
championships. It was a truly fantastic weekend for Pirelli Scorpion MX at the Grand
Prix of Bulgaria for the first round of fifteen in the World
Championship. Domination like this at the beginning of the series could not
have been anticipated but once again proves the superior technology and
performance of Pirelli product. The MidSoft
32 literally monopolised MX1
and was used by the first six riders in the classification, and again was
prevalent in MX2 with Marvin Musquin
while the Women’s World Championship was added to the streak by German Stephanie
Laier. MX1 The
first round of the world championship was a showcase for the formidability of
the MidSoft 32 front and rear that
booted the first six bikes listed in the final classification. With 1st and
2nd in the motos the overall win went to 2009 vice-champion Max Nagl, who beat new team-mate Antonio Cairoli whose excellent win in the second moto went along
with his 5th place earlier in the day. 2008 champion David Philippaerts, performed well and showed with the new factory
Yamaha he will be in contention for another title. The Italian finished in
between works Rockstar Teka Suzuki riders Clement
Desalle and Steve Ramon, also
running Scorpion MX and were in
front of Ken De Dycker who was 6th
overall. In the top ten Pirelli-mounted riders also included Joshua
Coppins, 9th with the twin cylinder Aprilia and debutant Davide
Guarneri in 10th. Overall
