2nd Rally of the Volcanoes: Manoel Delaval champion of France !

Road rallies - 2nd Volcanoes Rally: Manoel Delaval champion of France! - Moon ball and Garcin's fall ...

After the withdrawal of Maxime Olivieri following the death of Wilfried Cally, Manoel Delaval had the doors of the 2009 title wide open: Mano did not fail and emerged as the winner of this final ! A rally with a particular layout … Report.

Moon dumpling and Garcin fall…

Once all the competitors have passed the two stages, new assistance and it starts again for a double loop. But there, problem for our national Moon: Pierre Mouneu the intrepid, while he was in the top 10 after this first round, had understood well that it was necessary to redo the same two loops … but his brain compass had to shift and here he is again for the eastern loop when he had to set off again on the west…

Quickly redirected by the marshals, he got off to a good start but a few seconds too late … his minute having passed, he was late and received a 15-second penalty! But no other problem of this kind will arise for the other competitors and the reversals of loops go smoothly. !

On this second passage, the battle rages between Thomas Garcin and Manoel Delaval: at the end of the double loop, their cumulative times break down in just a few tenths….

On the Monos side, without his penalty Moon would compete for first place with Nicolas Derrien … But it is now Florian Lemoigne on KTM 690 SM who is chasing Nico !

In Sport, Charles Guillot dominates the subject by winning the best times in the category.

The third passage is truly cursed for Thomas Garcin: after a second Scratch time in the Villemorie special in 1’13”781 – behind Mano who slams a superb 1’13”472 -, Thomas slips during the link in a gravel road passage. He severely injured his knee in the fall and his Moto Morini 1200 Corsaro also suffered serious damage … The field is therefore free for Mano who can now think seriously about his second victory at the Volcanoes !

The third thief of the virtual podium is still Daniel Blanchon on his Yamaha 600 Fazer, who will even take the second scratch time of the last daytime special, two seconds behind Manoel Delaval.

Third time for Cedric Parmentier, first "non-championship" rider, a local riding a splendid MV 1078 Brutale.
