FIM World Championship report of race one from Mark Walters

“Ellis and Clement edge even closer”

It was blue skies as the sidecar teams took their places on the grid for the start of the first 21 lap race in Oschersleben. Unbelievably the sun was out it was a dry track, compared to the morning and early afternoon it was a different day.

As the lights went out it was Markus Schlosser and Marcel Fries who got the whole shot into the first corner from Todd Ellis and Emmanuelle Clement, next up was Bennie Streuer and Kevin Kolsch, tucked right in their wheel tracks was Stephen Kershaw and Ryan Charlwood. A great start for Ted and Vincent Peugeot, they slotted into fifth. Lukas Wyssen and Thomas Hofer slotted in behind the Peugeot’s. Pekka Paivarinta and Ilse de Haas did not have a good start they spun up their rear wheel off the line. There was a small gap then it was Peter Kimeswenger and Ondrej Sedlacek. Right out on the outside was Cedric and Arnaud Pierard but this was short lived as Kevin Cable and Charlie Richardson were right beside them looking for the pass. Harry Payne and Callum Crow were next up with Claude Vinet and Christophe Pouillot at the back.

Unfortunately, Pierre Leguen and Leopold Rouby did not make the start.

By lap 2, Ellis and Clement had taken the lead from Schlosser and Fries, with Payne and Crow up to seventh; with the rest of the field keeping the places they had in lap one.

Lap three saw Kershaw and Charlwood up to third in front of Streuer and Kolsch. It was a good fight at the front with the four teams matching lap times, but nobody getting the better of their rivals.

Paivarinta and De Haas were on the move though and they caught up to the Peugeot’s, but getting past was a different matter, the two teams were stuck together, but if Paivarinta De Haas did get bye they would break the tow and start pulling away, but this did not happen until lap seven leaving Paivarinta and De Haas a lot of work if they were to catch up to the leading pack. The next lap saw the Peugeot’s spin and run off track for a DNF.

It turned out to be a lonely race for Wyssen/Hoffer, Payne/Crow and Kimeswenger/ Sedlacek, these three teams were all in their own race, but keeping their place safe.

There was a great battle between Cable/Richardson and the Pierard brothers for ninth and tenth place. The Pierard brothers tried so hard to pass Cable/Richardson, but it was not to be, Cable/Richardson fought off the efforts each time the pass was attempted.

Vinet and Pouillot were another team to have a lonely race at the back in eleventh place.

Lap eight also saw Streuer/Kolsch retake the third place from Kershaw/Charlwood, and they did their upmost to catch the leading pair of Ellis/Clement and Schlosser/Fries, but there was to be an abrupt end to the race.

Way out to the west the sky was so black, rain was on its way again but this was to be heavy, heavy rain. As the leaders went over the line starting their fourteenth lap, by the first corner, the red flags came out to halt the race. It was a great instinct decision by race control to halt the race due to the rain. By the time the entire field had crossed the line on the lap, and all slowed down for the red flag, the track was awash with water, imposable to race with slick tyres. The race result was given.

Ellis/ Clement took the win from Schlosser/Fries, edging them closer to the championship. Streuer/Kolsch, third with Kershaw/Charlwood, fourth. Paivarinta and De Haas, fifth place on their comeback to the championship. Wyssen/Hoffer took sixth. A great seventh place for Payne and Crow on a loaned bike. Kimeswenger/Sedlacek took eighth. Cable/Richardson ninth place from the Pierard brothers in tenth. Vinet/ Pouillot took eleventh.

The second 21 lap race will be tomorrow, starting at 13.15 local time.

Race two report from Mark Walters

“Ellis and Clement double up”

The sun was out and no chance of any rain today, which made the sidecar teams very happy as they lined up on the grid for the second 21 lap race in Oschersleben.

The lights went out and Marcus Schlosser and Marcel Fries were fending off Bennie Streuer and Kevin Kolsch for the lead, and they did manage this. Todd Ellis and Emmanuelle Clement were in third spot just in front of Stephen Kershaw and Ryan Charlwood, who were just in front of Pekka Paivarinta and Ilse de Haas, Ted and Vincent Peugeot were next up with Lukas Wyssen and Thomas Hoffer in their wheel tracks. Harry Payne and Callum Crow were next. Kevin Cable and Charlie Richardson next up with a small gap to Cedric and Arnaud Pierard. Claude Vinet and Christophe Pouillot were next with Pierre Leguen and Leopold Rouby at the back.

It was close at the front with the first five teams jostling for position for the first few laps. Ellis and Clement got by Streuer and Kolsch for second place and gave chase to Schlosser and Fries, this left Streuer/Kolsch getting into a great battle with Kershaw and Charlwood.

Paivarinta and De Haas were holding fifth place but started dropping back a little by half distance.

The Peugeot’s were also locked in a battle with Wyssen and Hoffer, but today the French pair of Ted and Vincent were getting the better of Wyssen and Hoffer.

Like yesterday it was turning out to be another lonely but steady race for Payne and Crow, who were looking more settled than the race yesterday.

Once again Cable and Richardson were to have great fight for their placing in the race with the Pierard brothers.

Vinet and Pouillot, and Leguen with Rouby were out on their own at the back.

As the race got well into three quarter distance things were starting to hot up front. Lap 15 saw Kershaw/Charlwood make the pass on Streuer/Kolsch for third, and lap 16, Ellis/ Clement took the lead from Schlosser and Fries. Once Ellis and Clement passed for the lead they started to make a gap on Schlosser/Fries, but it was turning out to be great fight between Kershaw/Charlwood, Streuer/Kolsch, for the final podium spot.

Paivarinta and De Haas were falling back from the leading four teams but were in a good fifth place.
By this time now, the Puegeot’s had broken free from Wyssen and Hoffer, and were making a good gap from them.

Payne and Crow were still on their own and working steadily away and starting to catch Wyssen and Hoffer slowely.

The battle between Cable/Richardson, and the Pierard brothers had changed with the team from Belgium getting the better of British team.

The chequred flag was waiting for Ellis and Clement who were to take the win to the delight of the team, another two race wins for the team in a weekend. Schlosser and Fries took second place once again.

Kershaw and Charlwood held off Streuer and Kolsch for third place, the team were so happy with this result. Both teams congratulated each and other after the race, it had been a great battle.

Paivarinta and De Haas fell back but a great fifth place for the team on their comeback.

The Peugeot team were so happy crossing the line in a great sixth place, made up for their disastrous day yesterday.

Wyssen and Hoffer took seventh place, they wanted more but it was not to be.

Payne and Crow took eighth place, also they wanted more but considering they had not seen their machine till the weekend, a good result.

The battle between Pierard and Cable/Richardson went to the Pierard brothers, they were really happy with their ninth place. With Cable and Richardson tenth.

Vinet and Pouillot took eleventh, a lonely race but they finish. As too for Leguen and Rouby they took twelfth place.

The teams will be heading to the last round of the championship in Estoril, Portugal at the end of October, beginning of November.
