Sheppard never looked at ease in the easy sections and saw his day get even worse as he suffered mechanical problems towards the end of his first lap.

TONI BOU took a giant stride towards retaining his SPEA FIM World Trials Championship when he led home Takahisa Fujinami for a Repsol-Montesa one-two at St Michel de Maurienne, France last Sunday. With Adam Raga finishing down in a surprise lowly sixth place, Bou now holds a 21 point Championship lead - from team-mate Fujinami, who leap-frogged the Gas Gas pilot - with just three rounds to go.
It was a tough event in France (near the Italian border) made harder after heavy rain Saturday afternoon adversely affected the sections on the steep hillside course forcing the organisers to alter virtually every section. Because of this riders were allowed to inspect the sections on the opening lap (not normally allowed under 2010 rules) and an extra 20 minutes was added to the time allowance. |

The sun was shining and the sound of racing motorcycles, rock music and two very excitable race commentators filled the air as round six of the popular Red Bull Pro Nationals arrived at Pontrilas on the Welsh border at the weekend.
What a monumental effort went into even getting this round running with the unusually long and very hot spell of weather the country has been experiencing over the last weeks.
The team of MCF workers worked and worked, grading and watering the fast natural terrain track and you could even see tractors with their water tankers as dusk fell on both Friday and Saturday evening still doing whatever it took to make this Red Bull round workable.
All the effort proved worthwhile as once again this round provided some great races with some top riders struggling for form, other top riders contesting additional classes to get track time, and even a new face appeared on the top step of one of the podiums. |
