Nice, 7th March- MORE PHOTOS PHOTOTRIAL Staff was there!!!!!!!

Freixa wins and Raga is virtual champion!

Fair behavior of the Montesa team that decided not to stop Freixa to switch the win to Lampkin , the only one able to contrast the almost certain first World title of Gasgas' rider, Adam Raga, this night only in third place. Freixa won in front of a full-crowded arena at Nice, Cotè d'Azur, Nikaia palace, leading the final loop from the beginning: he took his advantage, overtaking section one, just dabbing. The other three riders, his rivals, Fujinami, Raga and Lampkin failed all together. Before the parallel that ends the race as usual, disputed between the first and the second best riders , Freixa had 5 points, and Lampkin 7. The parallel was won by Lampkin , obviously , with Freixa just careful in cleaning the section, while if the Montesa team would ask the Spaniard to dab twice, the win should be go to Lampkin, letting a little chance to fight for the title in the last round in program at Madrid on 21st of this month. But it is not happened, so honor to Montesa and compliments to Adam Raga that to clinch the title, will have only to finish the next round, does not matter the place!
