For the first time this season, our riders of team Venum Bud Racing Kawasaki were together on the podium of the French Elite Championship. It was the fourth podium in a row for Francisco, but a first one for Jake who never enjoyed this moment so far !
Plomion was a new venue for the French Elite and all riders discovered this track on Sunday morning; it was the best timed practice session of the season for the team as Francisco was second and Jake third.
At the start of the first moto Jake was in good position in third, but Francisco was dead last after a crash at the start! Jake had a good rhythm to clinch a great third position at the finish flag, while Francisco came back in the top ten to finally score an eighth position.
In the second moto it was another story: Francisco was in third, while Jake was last after some troubles with his gate! Moving to second after a few laps Francisco was ‘on fire’ and despite a little crash in a rut he passed the leader with two laps to go to win his second race this season. Once more Jake confirmed his great feeling with this track, coming back to third of the heat and third overall behind Francisco.
Before the last round of the series in two weeks’ time, Francisco is second in the standings while Jake earned two positions; he is now fifth.
Francisco Garcia : Second overall (8/1) and second of the championship
Jake Cannon : Third overall (3/3) and fifth of the championship
