Everyone was expecting another triumph from James Stewart, but the American star didn‰Ûªt race the main event as he felt faint just before riders took to the gate, The defending King of Bercy had won Superpole and the Countries race earlier in the night but was a no show for the Main Event.
James was in the first aid room when his teammate Josh Hill got the holeshot in the main race! Improving his results each night Hill was stronger than ever on Sunday, especially in the whoops section.
Justin Brayton, Gregory Aranda and Marvin Musquin where chasing him but both Brayton and Musquin crashed. Aranda finished runner up to Hill followed by Musquin, who was the most consistent and won the Sunday classification aboard his 250 KTM.
Their was a lot of suspense as far as the King of Bercy classification, and finally Brayton was declared winner over Stewart by a single point to add his name to a prestigious list of riders!
Aranda confirmed his potential with a strong third position, Musquin just missed the spot by a single point due to his technical problem on Friday.
USA won the first two nights of the team‰Ûªs classification, but the Frenchies reacted by winning night.
