New European Champions in Trial EC, Junior and Over 40 crowned in Bilstain (Belgium)

Two German’s clinched the two titles still to be assigned in the last round held in Bilstain, Belgium of the FIM Europe Championship: Franz Kadlec (Beta) in the Europe class and Sascha Neumann (Gas Gas) in the Junior class. Both had hard time in defeating their main rivals.

Kadlec won this last round beating by only two points his first challenger, Belgian Maxime Warenghien (Sherco), strong as never competing on home soil. Without any doubt, these two riders were the protagonists of this 23rd edition of the European championship. In both the loops, on the 15 sections, the German one was able to score one mark less: 30 against 31 in the first lap and 29 against 30 in the second part. The competition was quite hard for the muddy rocks typical of this place. In third place Nowegian Hakon Pedersen (Ossa).

For Naumann it was sufficient to climb the podium to be crown as champion. The round went to a brilliant Dan Peace (Gas Gas), fresh of the Youth title gathered the day before. He won scoring 49 points in the 2 loops, 19 points clear of Italian Marco Fioletti (Beta), in second place. Fioletti kept the second position in the final standing, too.

As we predicted in the Over 40 class, Dutch John Van Veelen (Ossa) dominated scoring 8 and 6 in the two laps. Behind him on the podium two German’s : Alain Barigand (Gas Gas) and Nicolas Puttemans (Beta) respectively scoring 25 and 27 in total. The already champion in this class, Finn Jussi Hapanen, tried to ride in the Europe class and ended in a honorable 15th place.
