Team France dominated the fifth edition of the FIM SuperMoto of Nations from beginning to end taking home the Francesco Zerbi Trophy for the second time after their victory in Italy in 2007.
Second was Team Italy and third was the German Junior Team. Finland was fourth tied in points with Germany.
The French team of Thierry Van Den Bosch, Thomas Chareyre and Aurelien Grelier could not have done better scoring just seven points after the three races.
Van Den Bosch was a dominant winner in races one and three, while Chareyre finished second and first. The great surprise was Grelier, who rode with the leading riders in both races finishing second and third respectively – the latter being France’s worst result.
Team Italy started the day not knowing if they would be able to race and when they were celebrating their second final position they could not even believe it.
The Italian team of Davide Gozzini and Christian Ravaglia were both in the hospital yesterday night after suffering two unfortunate crashes during the qualifying races, but they were eventually able to ride for their country, although in a lot of pain. The excellent performance of the three Italian riders took the country to the second step of the podium.
The Germany Junior Team failed not take the Francesco Zerbi Trophy home but they succeeded in being third thanks to their consistency. The senior German Team on the other hand was just fifth, tied in points with fourth classified Team Finland, as German Bernd Hiemer crashed during the first race and could not take part in the last and crucial heat.
Sixth was Team Great Britain thanks to the solid performance of Matthew Winstanley, who managed to ride at the front during his two races, Chris Hodgson and Richard Blakeman.
Team France Junior had also an outstanding weekend finishing seventh, being Alexis Marie Luce the big surprise after finishing third in both races.
Rannar Uusna, who injured his ankle on Saturday during the Time Practice, was ready to race in the morning and helped Team Estonia to finish eighth, tied in points with ninth classified Team Sweden. Team Czech Republic completed the top ten of the Nations Classification.
Team Brazil finished in a solid 12th position thanks to the consistent riding of Caue Aguiar, Rafael Fonseca and Juliano Meira.
Team Spain finished in the last 16th position as David Giménez broke his right collarbone during the warm up. However, Francesc Cucharrera got a solid 12th and 15th positions, while last year's Open overall winner Ruben Retuerta was 12th and 23rd.
