World Champion Remi Bizouard wins World Cup kick-off in Berlin

Berlin, 21st March 2009: A massive opening of the FIM Freestyle MX World Championships series happened in Berlin on last Saturday with the NIGHT of the JUMPs. 12 riders out of nine nations came to Germanys capital city for the of the first World Championship points 2009. In the totally sold out o2 World arena the 11.000 spectators saw World Champion Remi Bizouard took the win ahead of Spanish Jose Miralles and Vice World Champion Libor Podmol (CZE).

In the qualification the three Germans Fabian Bauersachs, Freddy Peters and Hannes Ackermann fought against the rest of the World, but none of them made it into the final. Local hero Freddy Peters crashed, Ackermann had a solid run but not spectacular enough and Bauersachs missed the final only by 3 points. Remi Bizouard, Brice Izzo Jose Miralles Libor Podmol, Fredrik Johansson and Massimo Bianconcini reached the final.

In the break the spectators saw the team of Miralles and Bianconcini win the ADAC Whip-Contest. Gille Dejong and Libor Podmol won the Highest Air contest with 8,00 Meters. After the flips of Hugo Arriazii on his ATV quad and Yostein Stenbergs with his Ski-do the crowd gone totally insane. Both were premiers on the IFMXF tracks.

Even not less spectacular it was in the final, that Remi Bizouard could win. With his smoothness he did Cliffhanger, Ruler and Switchblade to Switchblade Flip. But Spanish Miralles was close and marked that he is one of the favorites for the World Championship title 2009. Like Bizouard Miralles got 310 points, but the Frenchie had the better qualification result, so 1st place went to him. Miralles wanted to show the No-Hand-Flip to No-Hand Landing in the Double-up, but had to grab the handlebar in between. 3rd position went to Libor Podmol, who did Cliffhanger, Tsunami und Switchblade Flip. It is hard to believe that Brice Izzo got 4th by doing Shaolin Flip, Tsunami Flip and the Lazyboy Flip as a German premier.

In the FIM Freestyle MX World Championship Remi Bizouard leads with 20 points ahead of Jose Miralles with 18 points and Libor Podmol with 16. The next NGHT of the JUMPs / FIM Freestyle MX World Championship round will happen on Sunday in Berlin.
