Florian Petitcollin (Fra) and Francesca Conzi (Ita) are the new WSX 2017 WORLD CHAMPIONS !!
Thanks to his final victory in Lyon, signing his 3rd victory in a row in a main event this year, french Florian Petitcollin kept his World Champion title and confirmed himself as
the best skatecross rider of 2017.
This second title put him at the same level as Anthony Avella as 2 times world champions.
Yohan Fort (Fra) confirmed his come back this season, by taking the title of vice-world champion, and being the only skater able to beat F.Petitcollin this year during French
Championships.
Anthony Avella (Fra), despite he expected better overall results, finishes at a good final 3rd place.
Italian Francesca Conzi can celebrate her first World Champion title of her young career ! Despite a 4th place in Lyon, she could finally resist to the come back of A.Delfino,
thanks to consistent skating all along the year. "I am a bit disappointed not to finish by a good result" F.Conzi said, but she could finally enjoy her title as the first italian skater to win
the world title after french domination since 2011.
Alice Delfino (Ita), who won 2 main events out of 3 this year, is vice world champion for the 3rd time in a row. With only 12 points below F.Conzi, she will regret her double
false start in Rennes event in the quarter finals which probably cost her the title.
Maud Oguey (Fra), signs her best season so far; thanks to consistent results in the top 4 this year, the 16 years old Champion of France could reach the final 3rd rank.
F.Petitcollin (Fra) & A.Delfino (Ita) were the fastests !
Due to the bad weather conditions, the group races had to be cancelled and the time trials have been taken to establish the final ranking of the last WSX step.
At this time trials game, Florian Petitcollin performed the best time in 21.925, thanks to his perfect technique on the ramps, his incredible power in the straights and probably
the best trajectories in the U turns. Just behind him, Yohan Fort (Fra), with his 22.519, was also a candidate to the victory in Lyon, as the Champion of France 2017 is the only
one who beated Petitcollin this season. Anthony Avella (Fra) took the third place just for one tenth of a second, with 22.660.
In the women trials, Alice Delfino was quite easy, with a time of 24.409, more than one second in front of her closest opponents, Maud Oguey (Fra) and
Elisabeth Duchemin (Fra), who crossed the finish line with a respectively 25.503 & 25.518.
Get Ready for the WSX finals, which are being held in Lyon, on Sunday 17th September !
After his 2 main victories in Rennes and Barcelona, Florian Petitcollin (Fra) is the favorite for the final title in the men's category, but the other frenchs Yohan Fort and
Anthony Avella will do their best to prevent him from getting a second world title in a row.
In the women's category, italian Francesca Conzi is also ideally placed to win her first world title but 5 girls can still break her dream, especially Maud Oguey (Fra) and Alice
Delfino (Ita). Stey tuned !
