Van de Sande and Kawasaki champions!

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Axel Van de Sande and #kawasaki clinched the French Beach race Championship this weekend at le Touquet after a strong and consistent season.

In their first official involvement in the French Beach race Championship #kawasaki was rewarded with the title as Belgian #axelvandesande was the most consistent rider of the series. The 24-year-old came to the final round as series leader and he overcame adversity to clinch the title after a race which presented a tough challenge both for him and teammate Timothée Florin.

Even though it didn’t rain during the weekend the sand was wet and heavy for this final round of the series and the three hour race was tough on both the riders and the bikes due to the severity of the sand obstacles. Neither Axel nor Tim were at the front at the first corner after the long, fast six kilometre straight, but both regained positions consistently and after the first hour of #racing Axel was tenth while Tim had entered the top fifteen. 
With 1200 riders on the track it was not always easy to find clean lines and to maintain a good rhythm amongst the slower riders and during the second hour of #racing Tim collided with a lapper and damaged the pipe; he tried to continue but after one more lap the damage was clearly too severe and he was forced to retire. A few laps later it was Axel's turn to be delayed by race incidents as he twice crashed with lappers who were in his path; despite losing time to restart he remained in the top ten but he received a post-race penalty as he pushed the bike across the finish line. Axel was thus classified twenty-third but it was good enough to retain the series lead and claim his first national title.
