Former World Champion Sébastien Tortelli confirmed, in the opening round of the 2006 FIM Motocross World Championship, that he would be the main contender for Stefan Everts, who won the Grand Prix of Flanders but is tight in the points with the Frenchman.
Mike Mason victorious ahead of Johansson in Bremen
Round 5 of the Suzuki NIGHT of the JUMPs / IFMXF FIM World Championship blasted through the AWD Dome in Bremen Germany tonight.
The slightly muddy conditions meant that riders would need 100% concentration to stay in the hunt. Early favourite Remi Bizouard (FRA) looked on his way to winning the qualification round when he crashed heavily on his final jump, injuring his shoulder and opting to sit out the final. Also crashing out early on was Libor Podmol (CZE), who returned later in the nite with a bent bike to take victory in the Highest-Air. Second in the Highest-Air was local boy Florian Menge.
