CATEGORY E3
In E3, was starting the day on a beautiful surprise, returning to business champion France E3 title and dean of the class, Manu Albepart (BETA). It was necessary at the first time of the day and in the lead of the first round. A position he failed to keep. It still goes on his first podium of the season, he was third.
Before, the explanation took place between the two co-leaders, Jeremy Joly (KTM) and Antoine Basset (KTM). On these special highly technical, all 2 went to the fault turns. Once thought that the victory could not escape Basset (he had 18 seconds lead on the last lap), a big fall in the last line allowed Joly deficit to 3 seconds. In the end, Basset still manages to retain the top spot for only one second. It promises us a very big day tomorrow with a title that could play in the last few turns.
The days follow without resembling Romain Dumontier (Yamaha). Victorious in Uzerche, he lived a day "without" today. Never on the pace, he was unable to take better than 5th.

JUNIOR CLASS
Basque pilot Anthony Geslin left his joy tonight under the canopy of the structure of the EEAT-Yamaha. After a perfectly mastered season, he won the title of champion of France Junior. A beautiful lesson for this driver who was left out of the competition just before the start of the season last year because of a broken leg. He returned to the front of the scene of involvement and hard work and sees reward today with this beautiful title Junior.
Geslin is titrated, but misses the victory for a little over a second. The winner of the day is called Theo Espinasse. The driver of the Sherco Academy wins for the first time this season. He had often impressed by its speed, but was not able to capitalize on its good times. This is now done, and it is likely that we often find ourselves in this position in the future.
Jeremy Mirror (Husqvarna) climbs on the third step of the podium.
