Aubert continues his dream run in E2 in Sardinia

2009-04-19 15:26
KTM factory rider Johnny Aubert continued to dominate the Enduro 2 World Championships sweeping both top podiums in Rounds Five and Six at the weekend on the Italian island of Sardinia.

Aubert, new to the KTM Enduro Factory team this season but also the current title holder now has an unblemished record in the six races held so far and a perfect score card of 150 world championship points.

Team boss Fabio Farioli was already encouraged after Aubert's victory on Saturday after some rain had made parts of the track slippery saying: "Johnny was fast but is still capable of going faster". The French rider then went out on Sunday and made his team boss happy with an even better performance.

While Aubert had another dream weekend, his teammate Alessandro Belometti was not so fortunate, scoring a sixth on Saturday and a seventh on Sunday. KTM extreme Enduro specialist factory rider Taddy Blazusiak of Poland was also in Sardinia at the weekend to hone his racing skills. Taddy, who is not a regular starter in the world championship series picked up an impressive eighth place on Saturday but had to retire in the second test on Sunday.
