Race report
Voir plus bas pour le français.

After being on the road for 5 weeks, travelling across 18 different US states and attending the first 2 WMX races, it's now time to head back home for some well deserved rest.

I spent the first 2 weeks training at JWTF before leaving for Florida where I rode different tracks and raced the Pro Circuit shootout in Tampa MX. Then we were off to Daytona Beach.

The first WMX race of the season was at Daytona, a tight supercross track. It was not something I am used to, so it was a rough and hard weekend for me, I couldn't keep it on two wheels. After a first turn pile up in the first moto, I worked my way up to a 7th place finish. Unfortunately, after starting off moto 2 with a good start, I went down hard and I had some issues with bike afterwards. I left from Daytona with a 12th position overall and lots of bruises.

We stopped at GPF in Georgia for a couples of days before going to Texas for round 2 of the WMX series.

Freestone was our last stop before going back home. I raced in Schoolboy 2 and 450B during the week to put some time on the track before the big race on Saturday. The day started really good by setting the 5th fastest laptime in the time qualifier. I got a decent start in the first moto, but a couple of mistakes made me finish in 8th position. In the second moto, I started off in second and after 15 mins +1 lap I crossed the finish line in 6th for a 6th postion overall.

I'm now on my way back home after an amazing trip where I met a lot of amazing people and where I learned a lot. Our goal coming in was to place between 5th and 8th, and i'm getting closer to braking the top 5 every weekend. It will happen sooner or later! It's now time to recharge, look foward and get ready to fly to California in 3 weeks for round 3.

PS. Thanks to @mmarkelon for hauling my bike to California!

Freestone était notre dernier arrêt après 5 semaines de voyage. Pendant la semaine j'ai coursé en Schoolboy 2 et en 450 B pour apprendre la piste avant la course de femme le Samedi. La journée a bien commencé avec le 5ieme meilleur temps dans les qualifications. La première moto j'ai eu un bon départ, mais j'ai perdu plusieurs positions à cause de quelques erreurs et j'ai donc fini 8ieme. Dans la deuxième course, je suis partie deuxième et après 15 mins +1 tour, j'ai passé la ligne d'arrivée en 6ieme postion.

Je suis maintenant sur le chemin du retour après un superbe voyage où j'ai rencontré plusieurs personnes et j'ai beaucoup appris. C'est maintenant le temps de se reposer et se préparer pour la Californie dans 3 semaines pour la troisième manche.
