Sousa was comfortable in third for all of the ten laps, behind him
Monti and Armillas traded places, the Spaniard moving into third
place on lap 3 Italy’s Monti grabbing it back on the penultimate
lap, with Croatia’s Tomaz Kete and Norway’s Stian Schjetlein
fighting to complete the top six, Kete winning that fight.
In race 2 the American made no mistake, getting the perfect start
and stealing the advantage of starting from pole position away
from Poret immediately, and from that point was in control of the
race, going on to close out the eleven lap race and take his first
victory and title on the UIM-ABP tour.
Sousa also jumped Poret at the start and held off a sustained
challenge from the Championship leader, but third place for
Poret was good enough for second overall, Sousa taking third.
Behind the lead trio Alberto Monti was the best of the Italians
finishing in fourth, with Tomaz Kete moving up from seventh
mid-race to finish in fifth ahead of Alex Barret.
Jennifer Menard stretched her lead in the title race with her
second GP title of the year, trading wins with Estelle Poret, taking
her maiden UIM-ABP tour win and describing it as the ‘best day
of her life’, with 16-year-old Swede Jonna Borgstrom in third.
In Freestyle the Rok Florjancic show rolled on and up and over
and backwards, and once again the Slovenian was in a class
of his own, topping the points for variety, style and quantity
and awarded 94 out of a maximum 100 in both heats, with
brother Nac in second and Italy’s Valerio Calderoni in third, the
result extending the Champions unbeaten run to 20 and ten
consecutive Grand Prix titles.
Heading to Ibiza it is French riders who hold the whip hand; in
Runabout Perez is the man of the moment, leading the World
Championship from Teddy Pons and Mohammed Al Heidus.
Jeremy Poret tops the table in Ski ahead of Tiago Sousa and
Chris MacClugage, with Jennifer Menard leading from Estelle
Poret and Marta Sorrentino. And in Freestyle ‘the Rok’ remains
on top.
