2009 SeasonMay 3 2009 - Amazing week end
Qualifying races on saturday with 270 riders started to be among top 100 to race the Super Cup Sunday May 3rd. Aurélien GIORDANENGO (Ayton Giant les 2 Alpes) did the best time and he probably liked to be the leader ...
Sunday: Super Cup went good for almost all the riders ... only Nathan RENNIE (Kenda - Morewood) fall off his bike and lost precious seconds to be among top 32 to go forward. The Super Cup was pretty interested as the best riders started last and time went down so quick Sam HILL (Monster Energy - Specialized) did good but straigh after him Aurélien GIORDANENGO took the lead with 1'22"872 almost 2 seconds better than Saturday runs.
1 - Aurélien GIORDANENGO (Ayton Giant Les 2 Alpes)
2 - Sam HILL (Monster Energy - Specialized)
3 - Fabien COUSINIE (Morewood United)
Top 32 is going to do the show and the crowed was here to cheer them up !
Aurélien Had really proved he was the leader, he won all his races to go to the final. Against him Fabien COUSINIE, Andrew NEETHLING (Trek World Racing) and Brendan FAIRCLOUGH (Monster Energy - Specialized).
Amazing race, Aurélien GIORDANENGO had been very good all the week end and deserve to win the 4X, second place for Fabien COUSINIE on third came Andrew NEETHLING and Brendan FAIRCLOUGH even if he doesn't like to pedal he did it 4th place.
