the title of King of Paris.
Stewart finished off the box
in race two, and his 3-4-2 results
cost him the crown by just two
points. Lawrence took the final
spot on the podium for the overall
thanks to his sweep of night two.
"Pumped to finally get a win
here," Webb said. "Still have
some work to do, but awesome
to get back behind the gate
against some incredible riders."

The SX2 division saw more
heavy-hitters take to the track,
with reigning champ Jo Shi-
moda and home country favorite
Tom Vialle leading the way. The
Honda rider, Shimoda, earned
a big win in race one the first
night after Vialle flew off the
track in the treacherous whoop
section. Vialle was unharmed
but got stuck in the bowl turn's
safety netting. He recovered but
finished 12th in race one.
Fired up from his mistake in
race one, the KTM rider retali
-
ated with a statement win in race
two. Shimoda stayed close and
took second, still holding the
overall in his grasp going into the
third race of the night. Unfor
-
tunately for Shimoda, his night
ended with a DNF due to a crash
in the final main event.
Vialle ran away with the win,
going 12-1-1 for fourth. With mis
-
haps happening to both the main
heavyweights, Anthony Bourdon
capitalized and took the night-
one victory thanks to consistent
3-4-2 finishes. Two other French
racers, Calvin Fonvielle and
Maxime Desprey rounded out the
podium on Saturday.
Shimoda came back Sunday
with a vengeance and claimed
the opening win over rival Vialle
in second and Bourdon in third.
A mechanical hindered Shi

moda's second race of the night
and derailed any hopes he had at
defending his crown. Vialle went
on to sweep the final two mains
of the night and earned the
overall win with 2-1-1 finishes.
Bourdon strung together three
third-place finishes and actually
tied Vialle's score for the week
-
end. The tiebreaker went the way
of Vialle thanks to four wins dur-
ing the six motos. With 18 points
apiece, Vialle earned the Prince
of Paris crown over Bourdon and
Desprey.
