Winner on Saturday of the first night in Lille, France, American Weston Peick is the new ‘King of Lille’ after scoring a second position on Sunday behind Frenchman Christophe Pourcel.

Maxime Desprey won for the second time the ‘Prince of Lille’ title and France beats USA in the Nations classification. 40,000 spectators enjoyed both days of the event and on Sunday the Stadium sang the Marseillaise in memory of the Parisian tragedy.

Winner of his heat race and the main event on Saturday, Peick had more troubles today as he had to qualify for the main through the last chance after crashing in the heat race. With a bad pick gate his start in the main was not so great, but the American came back in second position behind Pourcel, who led the entire race.

Both Cooper Webb and Malcom Stewart crashed while pushing behind the Frenchman, losing all chances of podium; they also helped Peick to come back second on the podium, between Pourcel and Fabien Izoird.

With a win yesterday and a second position today, Peick won the overall classification, with Christophe Pourcel (3/1) second and Cooper Webb (2/5) third. Swiss Valentin Guillod was the best Euro rider with another fourth position in the main, and France won the Nations classification.

The major news coming out of France was the injury of Yoshimura Suzuki’s James Stewart, who crashed on the opening night and didn’t return Sunday with suspected ankle/knee injuries.
