CHEVROT / BETEILLE 2nd – MARTIN / KRAFT AT THE TOP
For the second year , a team of 120 peoples composed of different associations coordonated by Pascal Aflatet, were on the case since many weeks to offer a great event in a classified site NATURA 2000, for a 500km race.
At the start, 100 teams were present, including 22 POLARIS ATV’s. Official pilots, Thierry Chevrot was teaming with Rémi Béteille (Quad Plus—winner of the Xtrem Indoor quad 2×4 in 2007), and Adeline Martin was associated to Betty Kraft, both team on OUTLAW 525S.
Since the start, Chevrot/Béteille had to face a tire issue and they lost few minutes that will be difficult to recover. They will be quickly back in the leading teams, to keep the second position all along the race, taking sometimes the lead with the game of the pit stops. They battled until the end and finally finished second just few minutes behind, after nearly 10 hours of race.
The other great result is coming from the women team, with Adeline Martin / Betty Kraft who did a a fantastic race by winning the women category and finishing 13th overall. Congratulations ladies!
Finally, we can not end up this resume without few words of Pierre Audoin, Sales and Racing Manager for POLARIS France. He had a terrible accident during the race and has been heliported to the hospital of Pau where he had a serious surgery. Now he is out of danger and he is doing way better. He is using this opportunity to thank all the messages he get and he will give some news soon. We also would like
to thank the promoter and his team for the incredible job they have done around this accident. Timing
was critical. Thanks to all the marshalls !
