Third of the qualifying race on Saturday, Xavier was third again on Sunday in the opening heat and came to the next one strongly motivated. The kid from Alsace grabbed the holeshot and then leads the entire race, to beat Pichon and Musquin with the fastest lap time. The last race was more difficult for him as another rider selected his gate on the grid and forced Xavier to move outside; the KRT rider missed a good start and was in the pack after a few corners, in fifteenth position. On a technical and rough track he did an impressive performance, coming fourth after ten minutes and then posting fast laps – including the fastest one – to join Pichon, Musquin and Boissière who all battled for the win. None of them had the honors as Xavier passed everyone to claim his second heat win this week-end, and the overall classification. He is now leading the MX1 classification by 85 points, with two more rounds – Iffendic in July and Lacapelle Marival in August – to go.

Jonathan Barragan didn’t entered the Spanish championship this weekend, as the Spaniard didn’t felt yet ready for racing; Jonathan started practicing ten days ago, and expect to be back to the GP’s in Latvia or Sweden. In Kester Sébastien Pourcel raced a round of the Belgian series, and with a sixth and an eighth positions he prepared the three Grand Prix – Germany, Latvia and Sweden – that the series will visit in the following weeks.

Xavier Boog: “The first part of the weekend was not so great, but I improved my results in each race. Before the last race I was forced to move on the grid as one rival took my place, and I came on a dusty one. I lost grip at the start and came to the first corner in the pack, and nearly crashed; it’s a shame as we had perfect settings for the start after the first race, and when I came back fourth the leaders were far away. I focused on my riding, posted a series of fast laps and joined them to win the last race. I ended my weekend with a great performance, that’s a good training for the GP’s”

François Lemariey: “This weekend Xavier was impressive, especially during the last race against Pichon and Musquin. We’re impatient to be at the next races now! He proved during the second race that he can holeshot the pack, but we know that we have to work on this point as the start is so important now in the GP’s”
