Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Pauls Jonass
did what he has done now many times this
season, win the MX2 overall and extend his
points lead. Jonass won Saturday’s qualifying
races and had a similar race 1 by getting the
lead and creating a gap early and then coasting
to the finish. Race 2 was a new challenge
as Jonass had Benoit Paturel ahead of him
and Jeremy Seewer providing pressure from
behind. Jonass stayed second and took home
the overall with the 1-2 result. In the press
conference Jonass said: “To get the overall
on the hard pack is a pretty good feeling,
as you know last week it didn’t go so well in
Germany. I made some improvements during
the week and it payed off this weekend, I felt
better on the bike and overall the feeling was
much better than last weekend. It was a really
good race and the whole time the French
crowd cheering”.
Kemea Yamaha Official MX Team’s Benoit
Paturel had the French crowd on his side
the entire weekend. In race 1 Paturel passed
several riders to get to third by lap 7, however
Benoit was left searching for a way past
Jeremy Seewer. Unable to find a way through
Paturel he took 3rd in race 1 behind Seewer
and Jonass.
