Pourcel, Nambotin take Jr. SX wins at Geneva.
Geneva pl𒅌ꦯayed host for the fourth and fifth rounds of the Junior SX Eurocup on Friday and Saturday night, where the Supercross stars of the future supported the first round of the World Supercross GP.
Were the young guns left intimidated after watching McGrath, Vuillemin, Tortelli and Larocco on track...? Probably, as Friday's final wa💧s not at the previous frantic level, but Saturday again offered a great ra🎀ce to the 18,000 spectators.

Geneva played host for ♉the fourth and fif♛th rounds of the Junior SX Eurocup on Friday and Saturday night, where the Supercross stars of the future supported the first round of the World Supercross GP.
Were the young guns left intimidated after watching McGrath, Vuillemin, Tortelli and Larocco on track...? Probably, as Friday's final was not at the previous frantic level, but Saturday again offered a great race to the 18,🥃000 spectators.
Leader of the championship after Grenoble, Antoine Meo left Switzerland still in the points lead, aftඣer c♌onsistent rides on both nights. Meo lost some points on Friday as he finished second behind his main rival Sebastien Pourcel, but took his revenge on Saturday by finishing second, while Pourcel was only sixth.
At Friday's final, Pourcel got the holesh𓂃ot and was simply unbeatable; meanwhile, third placed Meo worked his way into second at mid-race but couldn't reduce the gap to Pourcel.
After his Friday victory, and eager to impress the SX stars, Pourcel was confident of claiming a domina🀅ting double - but disaster struck as he crashed in his qualifying heat, finished only seventh and getting a bad starting gate position. Still fuming, he totally missed his start in the main event and was unable to come back in the top five, finishing sixth (his worst result of the season).
Meanwhile, Italian Matteo Bonini got the main event holeshot, but it was short lived as by the end of the first𓆉 lap Pierre Alexandre Renet and Christophe🉐 Nambotin had both passed him.
Nambotin had a difficult qualifying heat; having crashed and finished only seventh but unlike Pourcel he rode perfectly In the main and took the lead o♏n lap three. However, it was not an easy race for him, as Renet and ꦕMeo pressured him for the whole race.
In the closing laps Meo overtook Renet for second, increasing his lead in t🐼he championship.
The final ro💮und of the championship at Amneville (this Friday and Saturday) will be a tense one with three riders able to🤡 take the championship. Meo, Pourcel and Nambotin may have nineteen points behind them, but their worst result will be taken off.
And if you do that now, the gap between th🙈em is only nine points!
So all of them have the once in a lifetime chance to go to the USA ꦉin January and race the first events of the US Supercross championship for the Pro Circuit Kawasaki teaℱm.
