Joy for Zach Pichon with incredible Akrapovic Super Test win in France

The Polisport GP of France roared into life for round six of the Paulo Duarte FIM EnduroGP World Championship with TM MOTO Boano Factory Enduro Team’s Zach Pichon winning the Akrapovic Super Test.

Rising to the occasion of his home Grand Prix, Pichon thrilled the hordes of spectators in attendance to record the fastest time in Friday’s Akrapovic Super Test and set the tone for what is expected to be a thrilling Polisport GP of France.

As the crowds gathered in Saint-Agrève for the night’s racing, the atmosphere steadily built with each passing rider. When the EnduroGP riders lined-up for their timed runs, the noise was deafening.

Sherco Racing Factory’s Julien Roussaly helped to warm up the legions of French fans by putting himself at the top of the EnduroGP leaderboard with his timed run on home soil.

However, it was clear everyone was waiting for TM MOTO Boano Factory Enduro Team’s Zach Pichon to take his place, and he didn’t disappoint.

An incredibly precise and controlled lap put him straight into the hot seat with just the final Red Bull KTM Factory Racing duo of Andrea Verona and Josep Garcia left to go. An equally determined ride by Garcia saw him challenge Pichon’s time, but it would not be enough.

Fastest by 0.41 seconds, Pichon took a well-deserved victory as the crowd erupted into cheers and celebration.

With Garcia content with second place, Sherco Racing Factory’s Steve Holcombe closed out the top three, albeit 3.32 seconds behind Pichon, such was the skilled ride by the Frenchman.

In the Tsubaki Junior Enduro class, Triumph Factory Racing’s Leo Joyon had the crowd on their feet, with the young Frenchman setting the quickest time.

It was a French 1-2-3, with Team KTM Pro Racing Sport’s Romain Dagna and Ambiance Moto’s Clement Clauzier finishing second and third, respectively.

The Putoline Oil Youth Enduro category saw TM MOTO Costa Ligure’s Pietro Scardina claim a narrow 0.04 second margin of victory over Team KTM Pro Racing Sport’s Simone Cagnoni.

Spain’s Hugo Cuesta (TM MOTO) edged out WP Eric Auge’s Yago Dominguez for third.
