Updated: 2012-04-06

The BH SR Suntour-Peisey Vallandry MTBTeam (hereby referred to as the BHS Team) achieved excellent standings at the 2012 French National Cup with numerous podium appearances. With the first cross-country race of the French National Cup held in St. Raphael, the BHS Team was awarded in the team relay: elite women 1^st and 3^rd, elite men 3^rd and elite U23 3^rd.

Julie Bresset and Maxime Marotte were awarded champions in the team relay with a lead of 1 minute and 39 seconds ahead of the other competitors. Laura Metzler also achieved a third place finish.

In addition to performing brilliantly in the team relay, Julie Bresset took control of elite women’s class with a lead of 30 seconds at the end of the first round. After keeping the leader status during the entire competition, she achieved a lead of 2 minutes and 8 seconds to be awarded champion.

When it comes to the men’s elite, Maxime Marotte went from leader to 6^th in the first half due to an unfortunate flat tire. He struggled to gain back his time and ended up in 3^rd place. His achievement after his setback gave him the confidence of winning the upcoming World Cup (4/14-15).
