ENGLISH VERSION
Villars Sous Ecot, the final of the 2020 French Supermoto championship.
It is on the superb piste at Villars sous Ecot that we find the whole team, apart from Jules Chambon, still recovering from his debilitated shoulder at Mirecourt.
A second event for France which also sounds like a final!
With only two racing weekends, we have approached this season as a fine-tuning of our new organization and the integration of new recruits, both at the driver and staff level.
This does not prevent us from having goals, especially in category S2. A category that is close to our hearts, the one that allows us to prepare our young champions of tomorrow, for the prestigious S1 title.
Category S2
Stéphane Salibur, third in the general classification at the end of the 1st round, arrives confident on this track where he had signed pole position in 2019. It was without counting on a heavy fall during free practice which left him knocked out for a few minutes. . With the suspicion of a fractured femur ruled out, Stéphane only took over the handlebars for free practice on Saturday. More than a sore thigh, morale took a hell of a beating, Stéphane is only a shadow of himself, taking only the 4th fastest time in qualifying, 1 second off his reference time on this track.
Stéphane: A weekend with a lot of restraint, I did not manage to get close to my direct competitors, on Saturday against the clock I find myself 1 sec from the 1st, during the two races I miss my two starts and do not am not in my lap times.
This season was very short because it only took place over two events and unfortunately I managed them badly!

Stéphane finished 3rd in this shortened championship and despite this difficult weekend, we are very proud of this progress over these 4 seasons together, now the 2021 target ...
Still in S2, and for this first season in the category within Team insane-parts.com Honda, Yonel Cayol is picking up a good pace. It is true that Yonel had just left 15 days of intensive coaching at Ludovic Lucquin and his Luc1 Academy program.
Yonel: I'm out of the P13 times, it's very tight at this level. In the 1st round P10 which is pleasant, in the 2nd round P11. Very nice experience for my first time in S2. I manage to do very well at the start of the 2 races, but the physical challenge at the end of the race. Unfortunately in the general classification I did not make it into the top 10 because of my bad time. I finished 12th overall, 6 points from 10th position. I plan to work on my physique and apply all of Ludovic Lucquin's advice this winter to be better next year.

For the S1 category, Lucas Berthoux signs the 5th time in qualifying. A great performance after the difficult weekend at Mirecourt. In the 1st round Lucas maintains his 5th position, battling with a group of three pilots throughout the race, he will finish in this place. For the second start with the inverted grid, Lucas did not find the right track to get out of the grid, he was 9th and goal on a few slower drivers. He took a wrong pace and the lack of physics was sorely felt for the end of the round, he finished 11.
Lucas: It’s been a funny season for all of us, with a very busy personal and professional schedule this year, I haven’t worked on the physique and riding very little. I was very happy with my 5th time, but I knew the races would be much harder, I know I have the speed, now it's time to work on my fitness. I will have a lot more time this winter to prepare as I wish for the next season, plus the fact of discovering the new Honda 450 CRF 2021, a great challenge awaits me!
