The French SX Tour was back to action this weekend in Brittany, and it was a good opportunity for the Monster Bud Racing Kawasaki riders to get some more trophies with a win & a podium results. In the SX1 class Xavier Boog got a third overall, while Brian Moreau Strubhart did an amazing performance as he won the Junior class in what was his first official Supercross.
Third round of the summer tour after Estillac and Chateauneuf, La Bosse de Bretagne opened a new chapter in the season as there are no more French Motocross now after the final round of the French Elite one week ago. Unable to train during the week after his injury in Chateauneuf (broken rib), Xavier Boog did a strong performance; third in the practice session and second in his heat race, Xavier got a third position in the main event and remains a title contender as he is ten points behind series leader with two more races to go. Still recovering as he start practicing only one month ago, Maxime Desprey just lost a top ten result at the end of the main, after a fifth in his heat race. This event was the first official Supercross for Brian Moreau, the youngest riders involved in the Junior class; third of the first race, Brian was even stronger in the second one and beats all his rivals to get the overall win.
Next weekend the 125 and 250 European championships are back in action, with the last two rounds in Lommel (Belgium) and Frauenfeld (Switzerland) for Brian Moreau, Kim Savaste and Darian Sanayei.
Brian Moreau :” It’s super cool to be back on the first step of the podium for my first official Supercross race. I really enjoy riding SX and had only some training at the Team’s track during the week but i immediately felt good on the bike. I was not so fast in the whoops at the beginning but i improved at each session, so it was good, to finally win the overall. The bike was good also, it was really fun to race.”
Xavier Boog: “Due to my broken rib in Chateauneuf I can’t train as I would like between the races, but luckily when I’m on the bike it’s not too painful. I had a good practice session and qualified in second in my heat race; in the main I had a good start in the top five, but when I was in third I never found the opportunity to pass anyone. I’m a little bit disappointed, but I think that soon I will be able to practice normally.”
Maxime Desprey: “Each weekend I have a better feeling, even if I would like to be already at 100%! I’m not totally confident in some sections, like the whoops, but I was back on a bike just a few weeks ago so I need to practice and to race to be back at the top. Every week I saw the improvements, and I know what I have to do in the next days; in the main I was tenth, and tried to move to ninth but finally lost one position! Now we have two weeks to prepare the next round in St Thibery, and two weeks to work.”
