Bizouard beats current FMX World Champion Gaup and makes a huge step for the title

Riga, 25th Oktober 2008: Remi Bizouard beat current World Champion Ailo Gaup with a spectacular run and made a huge step for the FIM Freestyle MX World Championships title 2008. Gaup himself did an amazing run, which puts him on 2nd position ahead of Libor Podmol.

11 riders came to Riga for the Suzuki NIGHT of the JUMPs. Big surprise was the comeback of Norways Ailo Gaup, who had a 10 month absence from the IFMXF track. The current World Champion was highly motivated and impressed with a strong qualification run, putting him on second position equal on points with Bizouard. Massimo Bianconcini, Brice Izzo, Libor Podmol and Brody Wilson followed them into the final. Steve Mini, who crashed in Cologne, did a really good run, missing the final only by five points. German Fabian Bauersachs was even closer. He missed the final only by one point.

The final of the 8th contest of the FIM Freestyle MX World Championship couldn’t be more spectacular. After the qualifying current World Championd and the leader of the FMX World Championship 2008 were equal on points. But before the big showdown the crowd saw Ailo Gaups win at the whip contest and Libor Podmols in the highest air.

Final was opened by Massimo Bianconcini. First time he presented the Superman Seatgrab flip on the IFMXF track. Libor Podmol put a flip fireworks into his final run. He did No-Hand-Flip, Tsunami Flip, Switchblade Flip, Cliffhanger Flip, Underflip and SuperFlip Indy. This brought him on 3rd position. Brice Izzo did a Shaolin Flip in the double up, but only reached 5th place. Same to Brody Wilson. He did a Switchblade flip first time, but lost one place and and ende up 4th.

Then it came to the showdown between Gaup and Bizouard. Both did massive runs with extrem extensions and hard flip combos. Finally the win went to Bizouard, who made a huge step for the World Champion title 2008. He now leads with 40 points ahead of André Villa. Libor Podmol now is on 3rd position.

Next points of the FIM Freestyle MX World Championship will be given on sunday at the 2nd day of the Suzuki NIGHT of the JUMPs in Riga.
