The FIM CEV Repsol championship is entering its second half-season and the Frenchman now has five races remaining to try to take the title from the South African. Odendaal has 111 points to Techer's 72, so anything is still possible, although the room for maneuver is now rather limited.
If Steven Odendaal and his Kalex from the AGR Team completely dominated the start of the championship, on the other hand they had to give in to Barcelona in the face of the attacks of Ricky Cardus and his TransFIORmers during the first race, then of Remy Gardner (Kalex) during the second. Unfortunately this weekend Christian Boudinot will not be able to have Ricky Cardus as his driver because he has an appointment for a wedding which he had promised to attend for a long time (but it is not his). Without a pilot, no TransFIORmers and that's a real shame. We hope to see her again in Portimao, Jerez or Valencia.
Alan Techer (PRO NTS) will make his comeback after his accident in the first race in Barcelona, which prevented him from participating in the second. 39 points behind the leader is a lot, but you have to believe it. However, watch out for the man with number 13 on the Albacete entry list, who will be driving an FTR from the Fritz Tuning team, which comes to us from Australia, and whose name is Anthony West.
The two drivers from Ecurie Berga will be there, with Thibaut Bertin tied for ninth in the provisional classification and Guillaume Raymond on his FTR. We will also follow Ana Carrasco.
In Superstock, the Italian Jacopo Cretaro on Yamaha started the season very well but, involved in the MotorLand pile-up, was unable to race in Barcelona. The Portuguese Ivo Lopes (Kawasaki) then took the lead in the provisional classification, ahead of Thibaut Gourin and his Yamaha Race Experience. Note the sixth position overall of Paul Dufour.
