GSM Yamaha´s Greg Aranda dominate both nights at the 40th edition of the Stuttgart Supercross (Germany) en route to the all-time record of four King of Stuttgart titles. Jordi Tixier (2-2) and Maxime Desprey (3-3) rounded the podium. Meanwhile in the SX2 class, American Preston Boespflug win the Prince of Stuttgart title despite not winning any of the Main Events.
SX1: GREG ARANDA KING
The first SX1 final, held on Firday 8th, American Mitchell Harrison took the holeshot but his time at the front was short-lived as Aranda made the pass early on and pulled away. Harrison try to stick, however he lost second place at lap 12 after being catched by Jordi Tixier, and a couple of laps over the final Maxime Desprey move up to third.
Harrison crossed the finish line in fourth place, while Adrien Escoffier filled the Top 5.
Aranda had an easier time in Saturday’s final after getting the holeshot. From then on, he led every lap until the checkered flag. His teammate, Maxime Desprey, rode in second place for more than half of the race until he was overtaken by Jordi Tixier, 2nd.
Greg Aranda becomes the all-time Stuttgart winner by clinching his fourth crown.
SX2: PRESTON BOESPLFUG PRINCE
American Preston Boespflug, who will face his sophmore season in AMA Supercross next year, was the most consistent in the class, finishing 2-3 in the respective finals, enough to win the Prince of Stuttgart title in his first visit to the event.
Brice Maylin and Calvin Fonvieille won each final, but erratic performances from one day to the next placed them second and third on the final podium with Fonvieille 2nd (6-1) and Maylin 3rd (1-6).
