Desalle takes a double in Lacapelle!
Belgian Clément Desalle won the International MX of Lacapelle-Marival (France) today. In the first MX1 round there was absolutely no spice against Clément Desalle. The Kawasaki factory rider took the holeshot and would never be threatened. Desalle also impressed in the Superfinal. He won again, this time ahead of Jasikjonis and teammate Jordi Tixier.
A regular Tixier completed the green party with a second place in the final standings thanks to two second places. Just like at Hawkstone Park last week, Suzuki's rising star Arminas Jasikonis played a standout role. The Lithuanian rode very well and already took pole in the qualifying sessions. Kevin Strijbos was very regular in France. 'The Kid' came 4th in every heat and in the Super Final. Home rider Gautier Paulin steered his Husqvarna to fifth place in the MX1 final standings.
