Todd Kellett beats Cyril Genot in Grayan-et-l'Hôpital
It was back to business this weekend for the riders participating in the French sand championship. The first race of the year took place in Grayan-et-l'Hôpital, on a new route that avoids the beach to spare the dunes. Todd Kellett won this race ahead of our fellow countryman Cyril Genot.
In December, the first part of the season ended in Saint-Léger de Balson with a victory for Yentel Martens, our compatriot's first victory in this championship. Unfortunately, Cyril Genot also suffered a knee injury. The Honda rider had previously achieved three wins in a row. He finished fourth in Saint-Léger and nevertheless retained the lead in the provisional classification for this weekend's Gurp TT in Grayan.
If there were any doubts about the level of form, Sunday's race quickly reassured his supporters. He took second place, 1 minute 34 seconds behind winner Todd Kellett, who is now back on the winning path after missing the start of the season through injury. One lap behind, Milko Potisek completed the sixth and penultimate podium of the season.
Lars Van Berkel and Mathéo Miot completed the top five, while Daymond Martens finished 8th and Mattéo Puffet 11th. Yentel Martens crossed the finish line in 20th place today. Among the women, Amandine Verstappen came second, this time she was defeated by Mathilde Martinez.
All eyes are now on the prestigious final of the championship on the beach of Le Touquet in the first weekend of February.
