Australian off road racer, Jess Gardiner, has won the opening round of the Championnat de France d'enduro last weekend with a clean sweep on both days to ignite her championship in the best way possible.
Riding for the Rider Camp Yamaha team, the 24year old Aussie made the most of her French debut to take the round win and prove her toughness at international level.
The first day of competition was quite difficult for Gardiner as she made her way through the field after starting near the rear in what she described as a tight and challenging course.
However, Gardiner managed to relentlessly charge her way forward to claim the opening day win with a comfortable 45 second margin back to her nearest rival.
Day two was almost a carbon copy of the opening day with Gardiner again taking control and this time raced away to a 20 second lead but again she faced some challenges. Gardiner‰Ûªs win came despite tangling with another and going down on the dry and dusty course but she battled on to take the day win and cement her positon at the top of the table after the opening weekend.
‰ÛÏIt‰Ûªs a great way to kick start the championship off with a win,‰Û
