Nogaro – Race 3: Matthéo Dauvergne wins after race direction review

Guillaume Bouzar could have emulated Alexandre Munoz, winner of races 1 and 3 here at Nogaro exactly a year ago. Penalized after a somewhat difficult start, the pole-sitter was indeed guilty of a slight nudge towards Thibaut Ramaekers at the start. Having made the best start, the Belgian driver initially had to settle for third place before being reclassified into second, behind the other Frenchman, Matthéo Dauvergne.

Coached by Enzo Peugeot Matthéo Dauvergne already seemed to have a sufficient pace to win, but still managed to snatch victory a few minutes after the end of the race. Among the notable moves in this race was the impressive maneuver by Oscar Goudchaux, who managed to overtake Hugo Herrouin and Lewis Francis, among others, at the halfway point, allowing him to take fifth place just behind the Japanese rider Kota Tsuchihashi.

On the women's side, Lisa Billard once again triumphed in her category, although Annabelle Brian (20th overall) was the highest-placed female rider among the competitors this season. Once again, numerous technical problems and collisions marred the event. Unfortunately, Jade Jacquet, Clara Stiebleichinger, and Sofia Zafari were unable to finish, as were Nicolas Pasquier – who suffered another mechanical issue – Paul Gleizes, and Woda Wojciech.
