MX1: David Vuillemin conquers the French title

Ten years after his last French Motocross title, David Vuillemin claimed in Iffendic his sixth national title in the MX1 class.

Unfortunately the Bud Kawasaki rider didn’t enjoyed the podium celebration, as he crashed pretty hard in the ultimate race and went to the local hospital for a checking. Despite this racing incident in the last laps of the third race of the day, David Vuillemin keeps a minor advantage of two points over Gregory Aranda to collect this title. The French veteran from Bud Racing Kawasaki got two holeshot and rode strong all day long; second and then third of the first two races, David was in second position behind Aubin when he crashed in a fast downhill with only two more laps to go. He landed heavily, and as he suffered a small concussion the doctors sent him to the hospital for more exams.

Thanks to his great results during the first two races he had a strong lead of twenty points in the MX1 series before this last race, just enough to collect the title as Gregory Aranda crossed the finish line in fourth position. Third and fifth of the previous races the CLS rider did his best performance in the last heat, but he was unlucky as a lapper moved on his way when he was fighting for the win with Aubin.

Greg crashed and damaged the bike, but was till second before crashing another time ten minutes from the end of the race. Finally fourth of the moto, he finishes only two points behind David in the standings.
David finally left the hospital on Sunday night without any injuries, but after his concussion the doctors asked him to stay quiet at least one week so he will miss the GP of Belgium this coming weekend and will make later some tests before making his decision for Loket one week later.
