ST. JEAN D’ANGELY
(FRANCE)
, 6 June 2010 – Round four of the FIM WMX series marked the fourth consecutive
overall win of Stephanie Laier, winning yesterday’s first heat and taking
second today. Laier topped the podium from heat two winner Chiara Fontanesi
and Larissa Papenmeier.


After winning yesterday’s first heat in the dry, Laier of Red Bull KTM
Factory Racing struggled on the wet track today and crashed twice before
starting her recovery paying the German with a second place in the heat.
Laier extended her lead to 42 points.


Italian Fontanesi took a great start in today’s heat and went on to take a
dominant win as her rivals struggled with finding lines. Fontanesi combined
yesterday’s seventh place with today’s win to take second overall and climb
back onto the podium after her first season podium in Bulgaria.


Teka Suzuki Europe World MX2’s Papenmeier completed the overall podium. The
German was fourth yesterday but made up for that today with a third place
finish which she collected despite a crash.


Diga KTM’s Franke was fourth overall ahead of De Mol.


After taking second yesterday, Lancelot struggled a lot today and could do
no better than 13th. The French ended sixth overall.
