Sven Breugelmans wins Round Four MX3 World Championship

05 maggio 2008

KTM factory rider Sven Breugelmans of Belgium came home strongly in the two motos of the fourth round of the MX3 World Championship in Plomion in France to finish third and first and take the top podium spot for the day.
Riding for the JM Racing Team, Sven was third in the first moto but lacked a little feeling and rhythm. But after consultations with team boss Jacky Martens in between the two heats he went out hard and fast in the second. He was second at the start behind teammate Alvaro Lozano and made one small mistake. But then Lozano lost the front wheel on a tight corner and crashed. He had to stop and free up his hand from the mud from the crash and Breugelmans was able to slip past for the victory in the heat and the GP of the day.
 
The 45 championship points bumped up his total to 156 and he trails Beggi, the leader, by just five points.
 
Teillet ahead in European Championship
In what was a good day for KTM and the JM Racing Team, French rider Valentin Teillet was also successful in securing the top podium spot in the European championship. On the hard and stony circuit, he was second at the start of the first heat behind Frenchman Larrieu and the two riders fought a good battle that was won in the last three laps by Teillet. He then missed the start in race two but charged back up through the pack making up 12 seconds to secure second at the finish line.  Teillet now leads the championship with 172 points, a clear 24 point lead in front of second placed Larrieu.
