Savoya takes Semi B but Batlle on pole

sat-renaudsavoya01_small

Renaud Savoya has won the second Semi final of the 2010 Euros despite his car flaming out on the last lap. The defending Champion was on target for a 29 lap run but his RB powered Mugen came to a stop a third of the way around the final lap. A marshal got the car but then ran across the loop giving him a faster run than Batlle but the time keepers removed the rapid 36 second lap and he will now start second in the final. Pole sitter Jerome Aigoin took second ahead of 14-year-old Kyosho team-mate David Ronnefalk who makes his first Euros Main and has already secured some silverware as he is the only Junior in the Top 12 meaning he is the new European Junior Champion. Xray’s Jerome Sartel is back in the final for the first time since 2007 after he finished fourth ahead of Rodrigo Luis who is on a real roll having started out the day in the 1/8 final. The final driver to make it into the 30th European Championship final is Alberto Garcia. The Spaniard called time delaying the start of the Semi B but still managed to bump up for a second time today. We lost another three of last years finalist with Daniel Vega, Teemu Leino and British Champion Neil Cragg not making the cut.
