Charles-Antoine Villeneuve Wins in
Side-by-Side
Charles-Antoine Villeneuve had the best start
of the Side-By-Side race and never looked back
on his way to his first Supermotocross win.
Fourth in the final Quebec championship standings,
he led home Eric Paquin. It was a Polaris podium
with Didier Raby finishing third. Quebec racecar
drivers Patrick Carpentier and Alex Tagliani
were running well until the start of lap seven.
Carpentier was third and Tagliani sixth and
charging when both retired with mechanical problems.
Even though the two drivers only had a couple
of days of training on their newly built machines,
they held their own as they charged though the
field of veteran drivers.
Californian Matt Goerke Repeats as MX1
class winner
While last year's MX1 class Supermotocross winner
ran away from the field to win his second successive
title, it was mayhem behind the newly crowned
Canadian champion Matt Goerke. Drivers exchanged
positions on every lap for the first nine of
the 12-lap affair before settling for the next
two with Bobby Kiniry in second place behind
Goerke, Tyler Bowers who hails from Kentucky
was third, followed by Teddy Maier and Tyler
Madelia. On the last jump leading to the checkered
flag, Bowers flew right by Kiniry to finish
second behind Californian Goerke. A disappointed
Kiniry could not believe his eyes with Bowers
leap of faith to the finish line. Maier, Klatt
and Medaglia followed Kiniry. Twenty-one bikes
took the start.
MX2: Cole Thompson wins his first in
Montréal
In the MX2 250cc class, 18-year old Cole Thompson
won his first-ever Montreal Supermotocross event
edging last year's winner Jeremy Medaglia. Third
place went to Tim Tremblay of Saguenay, Quebec
ahead of 2010 Montreal class winner Kaven Benoît
of Notre-Dame due Bon-Conceal. Third at the
start, Benoît dropped to ninth before
staging a come back that saw him finish fourth,
followed by Dylan Kaelin.
