S1GP Race 1

When the lights dropped for the first race of the World championship, it was defending World champion and TM Factory rider Thomas Chareyre who took the hole shot into the first long corner, followed by Husqvarna rider Markus Class and the teammate of Chareyre at TM, Diego Monticelli. Behind the top three BRT SWM Factory rider Edgardo Borella had a good start and entered the first corner in fourth just in front of his teammate Marc-Reiner Schmidt and Hollbacher Racing rider Lukas Hollbacher who lost some places at the start. In seventh position it was Suzuki Grau rider David Gimenez. Straight from the beginning Thomas Chareyre pushed hard with lap times faster than in the qualification, but Markus Class could follow the Frenchman on just a few meters. The two riders were quicker than all the other and after a few laps to were able to gain some distance to the rest of the field. Behind the two leaders, three riders were having a close battle with each other. Borella, Schmidt and Hollbacher were riding only a few meters from each other all around the racetrack. In lap four BRT SWM rider Marc-Reiner Schmidt passed his teammate in the off-road section. Lukas Hollbacher knew he had to pass Edgardo Borella quickly and one lap later the Austrian rider took fourth position from Borella. Suzuki Grau rider David Gimenez was still in seventh place, but a crash in the first long fast corner of the circuit made him fall back to fourteenth place. MTR KTM rider Lionel Deridder took over seventh place from Gimenez closely followed by TM Factory rider Joan Llados. In front of the race Thomas Chareyre was still leading and lap by lap he pulled slowly away from Markus Class. On ten seconds from the leader Diego Monticelli was having his own race in third position. The battle for fourth position was getting closer and closer as Lukas Hollbacher was back on the backwheel of Marc-Reiner Schmidt. The Austrian who rode his first race this year kept pushing and with a few laps to go he was able to overtake Schmidt for the fourth position in the race. BRT SWM rider Edgardo Borella was still in sixth position, on four seconds followed by Deridder on his KTM. In the lead Thomas Chareyre didn’t make any mistakes and finished in first position followed by Markus Class from Germany.
