Taking advantage of both the winter break and theopening of registrations for the French Objectif Grand Prix Championship, we return to the second part of this championship which clearly confirmed the hierarchy drawn up at the start of the season.
The Pre-Moto3 category is interesting because it symbolizes the rebirth of the first category of the French Championship, after disappearing for a year due to a lack of competitors tired of the budgets required for Moto3.
We expect between 18 and 22 motorcycles there next year.
After presentation during the French Grand Prix (see video here) , And at the end of the first three rounds of the championship, the dual Clement Rougé - Mathieu Grégorio led the Objective Grand Prix category. If Clément Rougé had a comfortable lead over his pursuers (26 over Mathieu Grégorio and 38 over Joris Ingiulla), the latter progressed race after race and could still hope for a turnaround.
Thus, from the first race of Magny-Cours, Mathieu Grégorio was going to give the championship leader a hard time. The number 24 led for most of the race before Clément Rougé finally attacked on the last lap. Third place in Theo Eisen and his 47 seconds behind the duo demonstrated the clear domination of the duo.
The second race was still led by the championship leader and the public expected a new race battle with Mathieu Grégorio. This ultimately did not take place since number 45 received a one-minute penalty after an early start. Mathieu Grégorio easily went for victory, 44 seconds ahead of Théo Eisen while Clément Rougé finally finished in third position.
Mathieu Grégorio had thus managed to regain points from Clément Rougé and had to repeat his performance at Pau Arnos to be able to continue its momentum. But by achieving the perfect weekend; pole position and two victories, Clément Rougé finally consolidated his lead in the championship. During the first race, Mathieu Grégorio, however, saved big points after encountering a mechanical problem, moving up from eighth to second place, ahead of Joris Ingiulla. The podium for the second race was identical.
Le Carole circuit was once again the scene of Clément Rougé's domination. Despite a good start from Mathieu Gregorio, the number 45 once again won ahead of his main rival while Joris Ingiulla had to settle for third place.
The second race took place in the rain, but that did not disturb Clément Rougé who won another victory. This time it was Stéphane Coutelle who took second position ahead of Mathieu Grégorio.
At the end of the weekend, the suspense in the championship was nevertheless reduced to nothing, Mathieu Grégorio being downgraded from the two races for a non-compliant motorcycle!
Clément Rougé was therefore crowned Champion of France Objectif Grand-Prix FSBK even before the last round ofAlbi.
Mathieu Grégorio therefore went to the episcopal city with the sole objective of defending his second place in the championship, which he managed to do by finishing second in both races, behind the untouchable Clément Rougé and in front of Joris Ingiulla.
After Clément Rougé's title, Mathieu Grégorio therefore confirmed his status as Vice-champion of France Objectif Grand-Prix. Joris Ingiulla logically finished in third place in the championship.
