Francisc Moret (Vertigo) winner in the round of FIM Europe Trial Championship, held in Bilstain (Belgium), now shares the leadership in the overall standings with Gianluca Tournour (Gas Gas), today only in third position.
With only one round left, scheduled for next Sunday in Switzerland, two riders are sharing the first place: Moret has a smooth advantage for having two wins in his carnet .
Today he was also lucky to find British Iwan Roberts (Beta) in great form, able to place himself between him and his first rival Tournour, who up to now was the solo leader of the championship. In fourth position the other rider candidate to fight for the win: Steven Coquelin (Gas Gas).
Return to the win for Pierre Sauvage (Sherco) in the Junior class. This means he is now just one little step from the title, because Luca Corvi (Scorpa) – the one who dared to beat him in the previous round – finished only in third position, beaten by Max Faude (Beta). Thanks to this great performance he climbs to the third position in the overall standings.
Among the three pretenders in the Over 40 class, here comes a new local and ex- rider of the world championship, who put all behind himself: Emmanuel Mathy (Gas Gas) triumphed beating John Van Veelen (Ossa). Only third position for the leader Vladimir Kothay(Ossa), still ahead in the championship overall.
In the International 1 class the victory went to Jordan Vandekasteele (Beta), while Robin Schmindt (Sherco) won the International 2.
Next and last round next Sunday in Grimmialp, Switzerland.
