Racer Marco Simoncelli has won the shortened and delayed 250cc German Grand Prix, after rain interrupted the first start.

Gilera's Simoncelli dropped down to third from pole at the start, but Hector Barbera's Pepe Aprilia was soon overtaken on the first lap, after which the Italian made up a small gap to Alex Debon (Blusens Aprilia). http://www.racer.com/simoncelli-wins-250cc-at-the-sachsenring/article/145776/ Sun, 19 Jul 2009 09:27:58 GMT Marco Simoncelli has won the shortened and delayed 250cc German Grand Prix, after rain interrupted the first start.
