\"trefle-theo-espinasse\"<\/a>Mende, France – June 9, 2018 \u2014\u00a0<\/strong>The Tr\u00e8fle Loz\u00e9rien AMV delivered more dramatic action at the third\u00a0stop of the World Enduro Super Series as day one winner Marc Bourgeois (Yamaha – FRA) crashed out, allowing Emmanuel Albepart (Yamaha – FRA) to charge to victory. After Bourgeois pushed through for the win on the opening day of racing, his luck turned sour on the second day\u2019s second special test. Albepart took control of the proceedings and provisionally leads the overall standings heading into the third and final day of racing.<\/p>\n

Feeling at home during the morning\u2019s slippery conditions, Bourgeois set the fastest time in the opening special test ahead of Albepart by just nine thousandths of a second, with top Junior talent Theo Espinasse (Sherco – FRA) a further one-second back in third. But the standings were turned on their head following test two when Bourgeois exited the race with an injured leg. Grabbing a test win, Espinasse brought the fight to Albepart who placed third fastest.<\/p>\n

Back in charge for test three, Albepart pulled a gap on his young Sherco rival but Espinasse was not to be outdone and retaliated by levelling the scores in test four. Entering the fifth and final special test of the day it was all to play for between the duo. Despite another attack from the Sherco rider, Albepart had enough in hand to secure the day\u2019s overall win and provisionally take control of the race lead heading into Sunday\u2019s third and final day of racing.<\/p>\n

Claiming a stage win, Yamaha\u2019s Julien Gauthier (FRA) ended his day in third, while Larrieu regrouped from a poor opening test to come back to fourth overall. Enjoying a much-improved outing, Spain\u2019s Josep Garcia (KTM) was best-placed of the non-French riders in fifth. WESS championship leader Jonny Walker (KTM – GB) built on his day one position to move up to ninth.<\/p>\n

For day three the 600 competitors contest the Margeride circuit. The starting order for the third and final day of racing will see the amateur riders start first followed by the Pro class. At the end of the 150-kilometre loop the racing concludes with a motocross final for the top 30 in the overall classification.<\/p>\n

Theo Espinasse (Sherco – FRA):<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m really happy with how things are going so far. As a Junior rider to be pushing for the overall victory is incredible for me. Day two was strong. I had a good feeling with the bike and didn\u2019t make many mistakes, which was key. I\u2019m looking forward to tomorrow because the top riders start last and so there will be a better racing line. I\u2019ll try to give it my best and win.\u201d<\/p>\n

Loic Larrieu (Yamaha – FRA):<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s been a difficult day for me with some mistakes and just not riding with a good rhythm. After yesterday\u2019s result I think I tried to push too much this morning and was caught out by the slippery tests. I lost too much time on the opening test and wasn\u2019t fast enough on the motocross stage. The start order is reversed for tomorrow so there should be a line cut in for the top riders. I\u2019m not too far off the lead but will have to give maximum effort to win.\u201d<\/p>\n

Josep Garcia (KTM – ESP):\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cToday was much better than yesterday. On day one I pushed too hard in the first liaison section and had a big crash \u2014 the bike was quite beaten up. I wasn\u2019t feeling right with the bike and then crashed again in the special test, so the rest of the day was catch up. I started good today \u2014 smooth, fast and most importantly with no crashes. I\u2019m pleased with my ride and with tomorrow\u2019s reversed starting order I\u2019m hoping I can continue to improve.\u201d<\/p>\n

Johnny Aubert (Gas Gas – FRA):<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cMy day wasn\u2019t as good as day one. I struggled a little with the slippery conditions on the grass during the morning. But I ended it on a high note by winning the final test, so I know my speed is good with just one day of racing left.\u201d<\/p>\n
