This
is definitely a weekend to forget for Christophe Nambotin (KTM). After his
performance yesterday against-it falls and crushes the exhaust manifold in
the first lap of the race, an incident that will cost him big in the sp3
seconds, before he could replace it. A delay that will fail to catch up,
despite an excellent final round. He finished second of the day. The
happiness of one often comes from the misfortune of others. His closest
rival in the championship, Anthony Boissiere (Sherco Moto Pulsion) was
unable to continue his great comeback, forced to retire with a mechanical
problem. Place was free for a unique winner this season. This is Marc
Bourgeois, the Yamaha rider, who found the highest step of the podium.
Excellent weekend for him because he won in quick 2 places the provisional
and now finds dolphin Christophe Nambot in with 17 points behind. Loïc
Larrieu (Husqvarna) completed the podium E1.
