The Belgian Ducati EYBIS-pilot Xavier Siméon, won last sunday - after disqualification of Badovini - his 4° race of the season, and collects a 45 points advantage on the second place of his closest competitor Claudio Corti.
With only 2 races to go, Xavier could get the world title at Magny-Cours next weekend...
Gino Rea is second in ST6
The English Ten Kate EYBIS-pilot Gino Rea ended second in Italy last sunday, behind Team Lorini pilot Eddi La Marra. The difference of 0,2 sec. with the winner says enough about the close racing.

Last sunday, 13th September 2009, the French EYBIS pilot Freddy Foray won the prestigious Endurance race "Bol d'Or" at Magny-Cours.
The SUZUKI France pilot obtained this brilliant result with the SERT n° 1 motor (Suzuki Endurance Racing Team).
Previously, Freddy won 3x the Bol d'Or and 2x the 24hrs of Le Mans in the STK class, so this was not his first victory.

EYBIS wins IDM SBK race @ Assen
The Czech World Supersport pilot Matej Smrz was asked by the Inghart Racing Team to race with their Honda Fireblade at the last 2 races of the IDM , Assen and Hockenheim. The winner of the SST 2008 race at Magny-Cours who races already since 2007 with Eybis, got in the spotlight right away by winning as the first pilot ever in the history of the IDM, his first race. Next to him on the podium were the IDM SBK 2008 champion Martin Bauer, and the Austrian Andreas Meklau.
After his colleagues crashed twice around 3AM, they fell back to a 10th place at 7 laps from the leader.
After a masterly 12hr during race to catch up, they finally won with a 20 sec. (!) lead !

Lagrive: Pole + Podium
At the Superbikes, EYBIS pilot Matthieu Lagrive dominated the whole weekend : pole positie and constantly the fastest in the race.
A crash made the "Honda France" team loose a lot of ground.
But a diabolical race to catch up brought the Fireblade back from 37° (!) to 2° place at the finish.
A great comeback for Honda to the Endurance Championship!
Dutch Superbikes at Spa
Podium for Gino Rea
EYBIS pilot Gino Rea rides the Worldsbk STK 600 with Ten Kate this year, and the Dutch Superbikes championship with Duntep Racing.
During the Easter races at Spa, Gino traded a 9° starting grid position in for a lead with a cannon start. A lead he kept for 2 laps. Due to a little mistake, he fell back to 5° spot.
A great race brought him back to Gareth Jones in the last lap, that he passed in a spectacular way to finish 2°. It was the first time Gino raced at Spa, it was his 2° race on a 1000 cc...
