Fever pitch…
TONI Cairoli and Ken Roczen were the big winners at Valence on Sunday, but the feverish anticipation of the 2010 GP season, now just six-weeks away, increased yet further as three different marques made the podium in MX1, a fourth won a moto, and the top four slots in MX2 were all taken by different coloured bikes!
After his stunning victory at Mantova a fortnight earlier Shaun Simpson looked on the way to more honours in France as he chased home Marvin Musquin in a KTM 1-2 in the opening race of the day, but a horrific crash soon after the start of race two put the Scot out for the day but fortunately with nothing more serious than a cut elbow.
