Premier tour des top gun à l’enduropale du Touquet

It's huge, and now there are the 15 seconds, 5 seconds, and here we go. The race director is going to set the 15 seconds. At 15 seconds, it's going to start. 15 seconds before the start of this Enduropale 2025. 5 seconds, here we go! The grid has just fallen, the elastic has been released. And who will be the driver who will suffer this year's hot shot? We're going to get closer. Mateo Mio, a priori, who came out well, Arnaud. It's Mateo Mio for now who is in the lead on this line. He predicted it, his bike is very performant. Here we see a second driver. I don't know, maybe it's Damon Martens. I think it's Damon Martens with the yellow outfit. He's behind with a Honda. So is it Cyril Jeuneau or Lars Van Berkel? No, I think it's Todd Kellett who is third. I have the impression that it's Mateo Mio in front of... No, I think it's Adrien Petit. I think it's Adrien Petit who is second. We see Todd Kellett behind with the red flag. And now we're going to launch the second wave of this Enduropale. Here we go! Adrien Petit. It's always impressive, these two waves. Apparently there are no problems on the start. Arnaud's beach, as you said, is really very beautiful. At the beginning of the weekend. There are no big tundras, no big crazy people. I was telling you, it's Adrien Petit. Adrien Petit, indeed, who is... The duel of the Yamaha preparers. Adrien Petit, top 10 last year. Who also has goals this year. And Adrien who makes a great start. They're gone, they're very far ahead. Adrien who is potentially a very good future sand pilot. He's still young and we know he'll want to specialize in it after a while. Even if this year he's going to do motocross. Look at this incredible shot! Incredible shot of the realization. And we see a lot of Yamaha ahead. I don't know where the Hondas are. We'll be able to make a point. We also see Milko who is 4th. He's just behind Todd Kellett. Yeah, Todd with the red plate. Adrien Petit. Yeah, it's Adrien Petit. Ah, Damon Martens. We were wrong, it's Damon Martens. The hot shot for Damon Martens, winner of the Enduro Pal. Here it is, it's Damon Martens. Third who is already attacking Matteo Milho. Milko 4th. Yeah, very good start from Matteo Milho, from Todd Kellett. Milko Petit is with the Honda drivers. We're going to try to find them too. We were wrong, it's Damon Martens. David Herbretaud who fell with the triumph. David Herbretaud, indeed. David who we listened to earlier with Maxime. Come on, Damon Martens, Matteo Milho. It's always spectacular. You'll see with this first passage, with the jumps. The track is perfect, it was completely redone. It's a maximum pleasure. A little fault from Todd Kellett. Damon Martens who is back at Yamaha this year. He had won the Enduro Pal of Toucan. Damon with a 450 YFZ2. 2017, it's been a few years already. He wanted to come back, he's a very good driver. He drives his Yamaha really well. He's thin and everything, it's beautiful what he does. And Matteo Milho who is good too. Look at the images. It's going very, very fast in this race start. Who is behind, in the background. Yeah, Todd, it's a very, very good start. Right away in the lead group. That was the goal. And then Milko Potissei, who we also saw just behind. We will of course wait for the first point to see where the main favorites are. For now, we have the Yamaha drivers in front. We expect to see Cyric Jeuneau, Lars Van Der Ket, Jeremy Van Der Beek in particular. The Hondas always have a little trouble in top speed on this straight line. It's still a big disadvantage at the start of the race. Here is Milko Potissei, who we find in the picture for the first time with his number 32. If you were with us earlier, you were able to follow our long format on the return to business of Milko Potissei. It hasn't been easy in recent months. Matteo Puffet with the KTM. Matteo Puffet, who didn't have much success this year, who was injured, who missed a large part of the championship and who is back in any case. He is at the start of Stuke. He is a boy who had ridden very, very well last season. Yes, he is a very, very good young Belgian. He rides very, very well. And it's true that just before the front berth, he broke his collarbone. And here is Jeremy Oké, who is just behind. Yes, Jeremy Oké, who left well. He too, Jeremy, with his number 3. Yes, he attacks. He attacks to try to get back to the front post. Ah, that's beautiful. It's beautiful with the aerial images. And then, in addition, this sun, look! He arrives on the Novo-Tel. Here we are at the Novo-Tel level. The first three have taken a little gap. He will arrive on these famous Woops Red Bulls. And Todd Kellett attacks right away. Todd Kellett, who had a slightly different track, and he will overtake Damon Martens. And we attack the Woops. We attack the Woops. We are almost on a Supercross American. Look how it goes. Todd has passed. Here is Todd, who will probably block the first lap. In any case, it is the double holder of the day, Todd Kellett, who will enter the patio first with Matteo Mio on his heels. Damon Martens, Milko Potisek. He does what he has to, Todd. He attacks from the beginning. It's very good that you don't have to attack right away to try to make the hole from the beginning. We see the jumps. Huge. This is huge. This shot is beautiful. And we will find them in front of us in a few seconds now. Milko, fourth. Behind, we have Jeremy Haute, Matteo Buffet. And we are waiting to see where Cyril Genot is. The hole is already made. Lars Van Berkel too. There is a DASR pilot who is about there. We saw Florian Mio. And Cyril Genot, we saw him just behind. It's already far. So the first pass. The helicopter is getting closer. We're going to get them back, Arnaud, in front of us. It's coming. Here it comes. First pass under the finish line. With Todd Kellett. Blocked. Matteo Mio in second position. The third place for Damon Martens in this first round. We then find Milko Potisek. Fourth place for Milko. Jeremy Haute who is fifth. Sixth is Matteo Buffet. We're going to make you this comment. Like on a World Championship. Adrien Petit. Adrien Petit with the plate 21, who also left well. Adrien. Number 112. Wagner. We have Adon Alix. The rounds are very far. Adrien Petit. Florian Mio. And then we have the three drivers. It's incredible. Cyril Jeuneau. Lars Van Berkel. And Jeremy Van Orbeek. Who are all three. Round after round. We will also try to give you news from Camille Chapelière. With the Suzuki. New opportunity for Camille with this Suzuki. We have not seen Camille Chapelière yet. There is Paolo Maschio. Vice Junior Champion yesterday. Who disputes his first Touquet at the Grands. With the Honda Wonderbike. We will also follow the race of Alexis Collignon. We did not talk about it. Alexis who is back in good shape. Richard Furat who just passed in front of us. A former rider on the podium of the Touquet. Richard. And then Camille Chapelière. Camille Chapelière is very far. Very bad start from Camille Chapelière. Camille who is developing the new Suzuki. 39th. He is 39th. But I saw his bike yesterday. And when he told me the transmission, even with a long box, I thought it was going to be complicated. Because I think he was shooting 13.50. Even with a long box, it's really very short. And for the beach, for me, it would not have been fast enough to compete with all the bikes in front. The Yamaha, the Honda. And it is confirmed. And the Toad who has already made a huge hole. This is the novelty. He leaves on the beach. In the opposite direction. Does it change a little, especially the settings, Arnaud? The fact of having a longer beach. So having longer straight sections than usual. Yes, because it also consumes more. It is also the consumption, the time. The strategies are different. And there is really a huge straight section. I must tell you, there is almost 1 km, or even 2 km more. There they will resume the other part. It's really something new. And I think it's not bad. Toad Kelet, who is really in maximum attack mode at the beginning of the race. It is also really the strength of Toad. It is to immediately put a little image of a supercross rider. You must not slow down. You have to get into the rhythm right away. Put the intensity of commitment. And Toad for that, he is really very strong. That's what he does. All the races, he did that. He leaves. And the problem is that when he takes 30, 30 minutes of race, 1 minute ahead, he can handle it. When the other riders come back, he is well marked. He can really handle it as he wants. We always see these images. Arnaud, super spectacular with the bike that really moves. When we are on the bike, do we really feel that or not? No. It's true that outside the bike, we say, yes, it moves. But when we are on the bike, no, it's okay. It's more spectacular than when we are on the bike. Toad Kelet, Matteo Mio, Damon Martens, Milko Potisek, Jérémy Occhi, Matteo Puffet, Adrien Petit, Wagner, Alex Prévost, Damien Prévost, the cousin of Jean-Claude Mousset, the winner of the Endurance Pad. Jean-Claude was with us too. Earlier, you probably followed him in our special show. And now we come back to Alexis Collignon. Yes. The Paolo Maschino.
