DAY 2 26 JULY 2015The third round of the Championship of France Enduro 24MX ends tonight on sentiment shared by all to have lived a perfect race weekend. Congratulations to the artisans of this success, the volunteers of the Moto Club Moirans who took advantage of the beautiful scenery offered by the Jura mountains to organize a race that will probably remain among the finest in the history of this championship. It was not a foregone conclusion, the paddock suffered a Friday night storm has damaged some structures in place. Fortunately, all the energy expended by the club to put everything in order enabled the smooth running of the race. The audience was even more numerous today than yesterday, and there has been a feast of enduro, helped by perfect weather and a race that was lively throughout the day.
In the role of facilitators, the Swedish Mikael Persson surprising wins in E1, Loic Larrieu continues to dominate its class by winning the high hand-E2, and Jeremy Joly finally back to winning E3. In junior competition, first win for the champion of France Espoir 2014, Delhaye Quentin De Maulde.
E1-category:
Extremely fast we knew at the sight of his world ranking, but we did not imagine that the young Swedish Mikael Persson (Yamaha), down from its 20 years, would be able to hold in check almost all the paddock. That is what he did today by winning the category E1, and achieving the second fastest time in all categories. It is therefore essential to its host Marc Bourgeois, who welcomed him into its structure this weekend. Far from blame him, Bourgeois also plays a good transaction by finishing second. It retains the overall lead and even takes 4 points to his rival Julien Gauthier (Yamaha-B2R). The latter, fighting for second place a good part of the day, will lose his chances by falling in line. He finished the day fourth after being passed by Anthony Boissiere (Sherco - Moto Pulsion) on the last lap.
E1 championship standings
- 1 / Marc Bourgeois (Yamaha) - 111 Pts
- 2 / Julien Gauthier (YAMAHA) - 99 Pts
- 3 / Benoit Fortunato (YAMAHA) - 75 Pts
E2-category:
Loic Larrieu was Imperial today. The Sherco rider Moto Pulsion achieved the grand slam. It imposes on all the lap times of the day and relegated his runner, Jeremy Tarroux (Sherco) more than one minute, while dramatically, putting his 300 flat on the slightest bump encountered. He probably donned the costume left empty by Pela Renet and its look great. It is Tarroux that rises on the second step of the podium. Revenue in E2 after a difficult start in E3, Jeremy finds its rhythm little by little and it is not impossible we see him move closer to Larrieu in the following events. Nicolas Deparrois (Husqvarna Motorcycles-Atomic) completed the podium tonight and occupies second place in the E2 championship.

-category E3:
The E3 still delivered us a good dose of suspense today. Revenge after being clearly dominated by Manu Albepart (BETA) yesterday Antoine Basset (Mash) and Jeremy Joly (KTM) sprang this morning the knife between the teeth. This is Jeremy Joly who was returning the first and printed in special rhythm to the rest of the troop. After the first round, in the lead with a short lead over Albepart. On a much drier ground than the day before, it was thought the victory already gained Jeremy Joly, did not count on the tenacity of the Auvergne dating back in the second round to regain the lead before entering the ultimate lap. A final stage in which Joly came to win in the snatch and grab the few seconds that separated him from winning. It is he who wins, less than 2 seconds ahead Albepart. Antoine Basset, remained short of the top two without power actually pick them, took third place.
In general, Albepart retains its first place gained yesterday, but sees Jeremy Joly back to a point.

Once again second, the flight school pilot EC2M Jérémy Carpentier takes off overall. There are 25 points ahead of the second and it will be very difficult for other competitors to pick him fair and square. A third of the day, there is the Franco-Finnish driver Mika Barnes (KTM).

It is hoped that the news about the knee Ludivine will be good and that the two drivers can meet soon to continue the confrontation.

We have now passed the mid-season, and the suspense is still in many categories. Especially since it is possible that the next event, to be held in Champagne-Mouton, 26 and 27 September, sees the return of the pilots Husqvarna Mathias Bellino and Pela Renet and Christophe Nambotin. What still add a little spice to this season that do not lack.
