Aprilia was the protagonist in France as Nicolas Paganon (Aprilia RXV 4.5) and Antoine Letellier (Aprilia RXV 5.5) raced in Brioude on September 21-22nd in the fifth and penultimate round of the French Enduro Championships.
The Aprilia riders really gave the engagement its dues. In Saturday's Elite E2 class, Paganon climbed atop the podium after conquering third place behind the winner, Mickael Pichon (Ktm) and Rodrigue Thain (Tm). On Sunday, he earned the place of honor (second) behind Pichon. It was a performance that allowed him to climb back into third place overall in the championship.
Letellier, busy in the Elite E3 class, was among the fastest on Saturday but a couple of falls relegated him to fourth place on the day.
On Sunday, the Aprilia rider took off extremely well and put together a winning comeback in the Elite E3. In fact, Letellier gained six seconds of advantage on Guillaume in the final special and also won three others. This performance allowed him to conquer second place overall on the day. With just one race remaining, Letellier finds himself in fourth place overall in the championships.
