Already crowned in the 125 class a week ago in Lyon, Benjamin Coisy had to share the wins with young teenager Christophe Pourcel (16 years old) who is doing his first Supercross season. Coisy stalled his engine during the main event on friday night, and only finished third behind Pourcel and Nicolas Aubin now racing on a Yamaha. Coisy took his revenge on saturday night, but Christophe Pourcel finished once more on the podium and won the overall classification. Missing the first rounds of the SX Tour – French Championship, Pourcel will finish the season on the podium as Pierre Alexandre Renet broke his wrist on a triple jump.
In the Open class David Vuillemin was the guest star, and nobody seemed able to compete against the factory Yamaha rider. But David crashed with his friend Stephan Demartis during the main event on friday night, and had to come back from the last position. He finally came second in the penultimate lap, and passed Jean Sébastien Roy before the finish line! His race was much easier on saturday, while Roy crashed in the opening lap…. Schnell got the holeshot and finished second, followed by Pascal Leuret; twice third, Leuret is now strongly leading the Open class standings and will probably got the title next week (friday and saturday) in Grenoble (France) for the 9th and last round of the serie.
