Entering St. Jean to make up for the sixth place overall of 2007, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Tommy Searle did improve on that result and collected his maiden red plate after taking the second GP win of 2008.

The other winner of the Lovemytime Qualifying Award, Yamaha Red Bull De Carli’s Antonio Cairoli, still sits on top of the Lovemytime standings but lost the podium and the red plate due to a dnf in heat one.

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Tyla Rattray took his sixth podium of the season as he finished second overall in France; KTM fellow rider Anthony Boissiere, riding for HDI MX Team, completed the rostrum which was also the first top three finish overall for tyre manufacturer Goldentyre.
