Saint-Laurent-de-la-Salanque, France! What a race, and what a crowd of supporters! Thank you for a BIG day of racing. In the Women’s category, it was a Swiss affair with Christelle Boivin and Eloise Donzallaz battling it out for honors in tight racing that set the tone all day long. Christelle secured the top spot on the podium with the fastest time of the day for the women, clocking in at 19.921 in her final run.
Thibault Dupont is definitely back at full speed, claiming another win here after staking his claim for the rainbow stripes in Switzerland earlier this month with a time of 17.712 in the big final against Anaia Istil.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
