MX3: Sven Breugelmans second overall in Round 2 World Championships

In Offroad

16 aprile 2007

KTM JM Racing’s Sven Breugelmans put in a solid weekend racing at the International Crossdromo in Cingoli, Italy to finish second overall in MX3 for round two of the World Championship.

Breugelmans, the 2005 MX 3 title holder got away well in the first moto, dropped back to sixth but then fought his way back to the front to finish second in 35’28.683 conceding victory to the Frenchman Coisey. The Belgium rider also started solidly in the second moto and lead the pack until he stalled 20 minutes into the race and again had to settle for second. The two minor podiums game him second overall for the weekend and he now lies second in the overall championship standings with 73 points.

“I am quite satisfied with the weekend’s results but I know I could have done even better had I not stalled the bike in the second moto,” Breugelmans said after the race.

Team boss Jacky Martens was also very satisfied with the outcome of the weekend’s racing. “We must keep going and keep testing but I am confident” he said.

Unlike the MX1 and MX2 second round, fought out Spain in miserable muddy conditions, the Italian event was held under clear skies with summer-like temperatures of around 28 degrees shining down on the hard and rough track.
