MX1 — Valance International Tortelli and Pichon take podium spots in France

Pichon fought with rampant defending World Champ Stefan Everts in the first race and was narrowly defeated after an exciting battle. In the second event it was Tortelli who clung onto the roost of Everts with Pichon in third.

After a busy pre-season developing the 450 SXF the two former Champions marked their best finishes of 2006 in the tricky French terrain and will now look towards Zolder and the Grand Prix of Flanders, the first round of fifteen in the 2006 contest, on April 1st/2nd.

“We still did not beat Everts but we managed to get very close and the distance is now minimal,” said KTM Motorsport Manager Kurt Nicoll who was present at Valance. “Sebastien was riding really well and made his best results of the pre-season. Mickael was fast and fought with Stefan for the first race win so it was an encouraging weekend. The first Grand Prix is almost here and we are happy with how the development of the team is coming along.”
