NIGHT of the JUMPs Mannheim
By TMX Archives on 6th May 09
Last Fight for World Championships points before the summer break
Two weeks the Freestyle Motocross sportsmen had time to recover after the backflip battle from Basel. Upcoming Saturday the athletes will fight for the last points of the FIM Freestyle MX World Championships before the IFMXF summer break at the NIGHT of the JUMPs in Mannheim. The SAP arena will be the playground for the 7th contest of the World Cup series.
Remi Bizouard
Current FMX World Champion Remi Bizouard comes to Mannheim with an 8-points lead, after his last victories. But Libor Podmol is on Bizouard's tail. The Vice World Champion will risk everything to shorten the distance. On 3rd position lies Jose Miralles in wait for his chance. He is only one point behind Podmol. And even US-Boy Brody Wilson joins in for the fight of the World Championship title. 4 points are only between him and the guy from Spain. And after reaching both podiums in Basel, Wilson will try to rule with his triple trick-combos again.
Back on the IFMXF track in Mannheim will be Steve Mini from Australia. He had to pass for Graz and Basel because of an ear infection. And even the German FMX armada around Fabian Bauersachs, Freddy Peters and Hannes Ackermann will give a proper fight for the final in front of their home crowd. So the temperature on the track at the NIGHT of the JUMPs / FIM Freestyle MX World Championships in Mannheim will be high and the crowd will see the finest Freestyle Motocross upcoming Saturday.
