SEVLIEVO (BULGARIA), 5 April 2009 - Round one of the WMX
series ended today with the second moto and defending Champion Lancelot
wrapped up the overall courtesy of the final heat win.

Laier ended runner up with as many points as Lancelot while Fiolek
rounded off the podium. This heat was broadcast live on television.

After yesterday's win in the opening heat Red Bull KTM Factory
Racing's Stephanie Laier was going for a another win but a strong
performance by Lancelot left the German with a bitter second.

In today's second heat Kawasaki Racing's Lancelot, the defending
Women's World Champion who won in Bulgaria also last year, moved past
holeshotter Fiolek and pulled away with the lead securing a comfortable
advantage over Laier. Fiolek was overtaken by Laier as well but the KTM
Factory rider could not close the gap with the leader.

LS Motors Honda's Fiolek settled for third securing the podium.

Elin Mann took fourth overall ahead of Maria Franke.

Larissa Papenmeier struggled on the track where she took a moto win
last year and finished eighth overall ahead of newcomer Gieger and 15
year old Italian Chiara Fontanesi.

The Championship reflects the overall standings of this first round with Lancelot leading from Laier and Fiolek.
