Finale Elite (45 minutes):
It was a beautiful start altogether, but an incident at the beginning of lap 2 caused Basile Concialdi to end his run because of a strong collision. Arnaud Chaussard lead for a few seconds beforehand, followed by Thomas Eytard, Mathieu Wullyamoz, Michael Derderian and Jacky Mouton (who adjust his carburetion and made a great run). Michael Derderian battled with Thomas Eytard for 2nd place and managed to overtake him. With only 6 minutes to go, Arnaud Chaussard lost his 2nd speed but Michael Derderian didnâ™t took advantage of this and only 3 seconds separated them at the end of the race. Thomas Eytard was in position for a podium finish, but bad luck (and an empty tank) in the last lap allowed Mathieu Wullyamoz to take 3rd place on the podium.
