In only the second round of this year's FIM world championship in Romania, Aprilia's new SXV450 supermoto has proved what a fabulous concept it is, by leading every lap of all three races today. It's French rider, Jérome GIRAUDO, is now the championship leader, with Aprilia the lead manufacturer. We are soooo looking forward to getting hold of the production version next summer.

Former world motocross champion, Frédéric BOLLEY, on the second SXV450 was in second place, 3 laps from the finish, in the SuperFinal when a mechanical failure caused him to crash.

A one/two would have been perfection, but an excellent result nonetheless.

Max Manzo on the SXV550 had more mixed fortunes in the S1 class, getting an 8th in Race 2 and 15th in the SuperFinal.
