Gold für Ivan Lazzarini bei den X-GAMES - Watch the Last Lap!

In einem extrem spannenden Rennen im Rahmen der X-Games 15 sicherte sich der Vize-Weltmeister 2006, Ivan Lazzarini die Gold-Medallie vor Mark Bukhart und Adrien Chareyre. Wer das Rennen verpasst hat, kann sich bei uns die letzte Runde dieses spannenden Rennes anschauen. Viel Spass!

"The X Games 15 SuperMoto X final went off at the Home Depot Center today, and a fast, fairly simple course was a marked change from X Games Supermoto races of the past. Without heavily complex rhythms in the dirt sections of the course, favor fell more toward the European Supermoto racers rather than those of a Supercross background, and the results showed it.

Aboard a Honda CRF450R borrowed from SMR Magazine's Scott Hoffman, Italian World Supermoto Ivan Lazzarini ran a nearly flawless race to control the charge from start to finish, taking home the X Games Supermoto gold.

After getting off to a mediocre start, Monster Energy KTM-backed rider Mark Burkhart worked his way through the top five and into place behind Lazzarini where he began pressuring the race leader. Burkhart hoped for a mistake, but one never came from Lazzarini. He even got a wheel in on him in the turn after the ramp coming out of the stadium, but with the inside line, Lazzarini promptly closed the door on him.

It was the same turn where Jeff Ward caught his foot and re-injured his ankle, which he broke in June. Ward stayed in the race, but was not able to keep pace with the lead pack. He ran in second for the first several laps, but slipped back to seventh by the end of the race.

French Husqvarna rider Adrien Chareyre finished in third to collect the bronze medal in his first-ever X Games competition. Fellow countryman Sylvain Bidart finished fourth followed by TLD rider Cassidy Anderson who rounded out the top five."
