SEE THE FRENCH MOTOCROSS GRAND PRIX IN UNDER 10 MINUTES: TOM VIALLE CLOSES THE GAP

A week ago there was joy in Finland when Tim Gajser clinched his fifth World Championship by riding a safe and sane race to get the points he needed to celebrate two races early. Meanwhile, Tom Vialle was in a hole in the 250 points race. Tom and Jago Geerts had been evenly matched for most of the season, but with four races to go Geerts capitalized on some Vialle problems to get a lead that should have been big enough to take the 250 title to the end. But, you have to expect the unexpected and Vialle came back from the dead to draw within 2 points of Geerts heading to the final 250 GP of the 2022 season. The big battle will be in Turkey in two weeks.
