SAlong with his visit to the Kawasaki factory, MXGP World Champion Romein Febvre competed yesterday in the final of the DID All-Japan Motocross Championship in Sugo. He won thanks to a double moto victory ahead of Valerio Lata (HRC-Honda).
A duel with Australian Jay Wilson ultimately came to nothing. The official Yamaha rider had crashed in the first race and did not start again in the resumption.
In the qualifying race, Wilson was still second behind Febvre. Due to Wilson's setback, HRC-Honda did take the MX1 title with Yuki Okura (5-8). Okura was still 36 points behind Wilson before this weekend.
A European also won in MX2. Former 125cc world champion Brian Hsu was the strongest there.
