On last Saturday the last round of Supercross European Series took place in Genova. Antonie Meo attended the round with the new TC 250. Antonie Meo has in fact found his speed on the new Motocross bike and impressed the crowd during Saturday's race, finishing 4th close to a podium place.
Meo battled with A list competitors such as American star Jason Lowrence and Ben Coisy and showed already the speed of the new TC 250. Antoine reached easily the final heat of the event with a second and 4th place in the qualification rounds. In the final, To be second after the first corner, Antoine was close to win the holeshot thanks to the velocity of the new engine. He could maintain the 3rd position in the final heat until the last lap, when rider Vogsana bumped into the French rider while he was recovering from the back lines. Satisfied but exhausted by the race, Meo commented his result:
"I'm very happy with this position. I've proved to be able to battle with the top professionals on the new TC 250 which is so easy to ride. The new engine is great and the bike handles well. I just had 2 days testing and, being a pre-serie, we couldn't do much on it, but already as production bike the new TC 250 is a very competitive. Now I'll take some weeks off before starting practicing for 2009 season." |
