Marc de Reuver scores ten World Championship points at Brazil
Marc de Reuver of the Yamaha van Beers Racing Team scored ten World Championship points at round four of the World Championship Series at Brazil. De Reuver crashed hard at the US Grand Prix in Glen Helen and injured his knee. Marc had to recover during the week but was ready to go in practice on Saturday. His speed was ok in the first free practice session and he set the 15th fastest time. In the pre qualifying session he posted the 19th fastest time and in the qualifying heat he finished 18th after a great battle for 17th position.

In the first moto he didn’t took a good start and came out of the first corner around 23rd position. He found his rhythm straight away and after several laps he worked himself up into the points. Some laps later he moved into 17th position but in the closing stages of the race he got passed and crossed the finish line in 18th position.

In the second moto he took a much better start and started the race in 15th position. In the beginning of the race he had several battles around 15th position but before the middle of the race he already moved into 12th position. De Reuver was riding a consistent race but in the second part of the race he got passed by two riders and finally finished the race in 14th position. Overall he finished in 17th position and after four rounds he sits in 18th position in the World Championship Series.

After his strong ride at the Grand Prix in Glen Helen Petar Petrov had a lot of self confidence for the race in Brazil. It didn’t took him long to get used to the track and in the free practice session he set the 12th fastest time and in the pre qualifying session he posted the 14th fastest time. He had a lot of bad luck in the qualifying heat because right after the start he collided with another rider because he had to avoid a huge crash. At this collision his bike got damaged and because of this he had to retire from the race during the first lap.

Despite a bad starting position he took a good start in the first moto and came out of the first corner in 18th position. During the first lap he lost some positions but after that he started a charge and managed to pass several riders in the opening laps of the race. Just before the middle of the race he moved into 16th position but at that moment the 15th place rider was already to far gone to pass so he had to be satisfied with 16th position in the first moto. In the second moto he took a good start as well and this time he was riding in 15th position till disaster struck the young Bulgarian rider. With still five laps to go he crashed out of the race and didn’t score points. Overall he finished in 18th position and in the World Championship Standings he sits in 16th position after the race in Brazil.

Next weekend the Yamaha van Beers Team will participate in round three of the Belgian Championship Series at Kester.
