SX Geneva: Tonus animates, Brayton dominates
Factory Honda rider Justin Brayton was the big man of the first evening during the SX of Geneva. The American won the two SX1 finals and was also the best in the super final. Home rider Arnaud Tonus had the crowd on the benches with a brilliant finale in which he hunted for second place. Due to a fall, Tonus had to settle for 7th place. Kyle Chisholm ultimately finished second ahead of the experienced Christophe Martin. Tonus' teammate Zach Osbrone finished fourth, Mike Alessi finished fifth. Regular Matt Goerke finished second in the SX1 thanks to a second and third place, Alessi came third.
In the first SX1 final, Tonus came in a fantastic 2nd place, but a fall in the second moto broke things down. Tonight 'Totto' can look for revenge! Brock Tickle had a disappointing Friday and will certainly want to prove himself on Saturday.
