Jeremy Tarroux (Sherco Factory)
Jeremy wanted to shine and finish well in his return to this classic race, he confirmed his skill by winning his second consecutive podium.
He was in the lead group on the first day of the race, he rode a consistent race and raced well enough on Sunday to climb to the third step of the podium. He had a hard fight with Christophe Nambotin during the last stage but managed to finish in third place.
Fabien Planet (Sherco Factory)
Fabien found himself in the wake of the leaders during all three days of racing, he was regularly in the top 5. He confirmed his return to form and eventually earned a more than respectable seventh place in the light of his 28th place start. He was actually only a few seconds behind the top five, Fabien is looking forward to the tour of Finland and Sweden where he has shone in the past two years.
Julien Gauthier (Sherco Pulsion Moto)
Julien just returned to training less than a week ago since injuring his shoulder at the opening of the World Championship in Spain, he did not have the speed to race with the best. He did set his jaw and ended up finishing a very respectable tenth place. He still has a month to refine his preparation and be 100 % for the next round of the French Championship.
