Antoine Meo, Enduro E1 World Champion on a Husqvarna WR 125 !!!

[EJ]

Because he already clinched the 2011 title on a 250F in E1 category, Antoine Meo rode a
Husqvarna WR 125 for fun.
I'am unsure if he has any future plans to keep racing the 125, or if he will return to his 4-pooper. . .
125cc's make nice footage for sure, so i thought I'd share it here with you guys;

While I'm at it again,
as bonus footage, some proof that a Yamaha YZ250 is also a reasonable woods weapon;

Correction. Yz250 is an awesome woods weapon.

That's what i meant 
It's got great potential and is a good all-round bike!

[losec]

So how did he do in the race then?

[EJ]

You mean Antoine Meo?
In the specific E1 class, he got 6th place, and he got 10th overall in this enduro.
I just read on a french website that he really liked the Husky 125, and that he might switch back to it!
I also read some rumours that it wasn't a WR125, but a 144/150... I like him better on the 2T anyway.

Here is a camera view from another angle;

I love that WR 125/144/150.  Would seriously considering that or a KTM 200 XC-W as a replacement to my RM250.

I really dig that second video -- looks like an awesome place to ride. I love that tech stuff.

He,s a great rider, who qualified for a mx2 gp on a Husky 125, 2or3 years ago.

[EJ]

He also rode for the 250cc team of Jan De Groot-Factory Kawasaki,
this was around 2002/2003 if i'm correct...
(When they were testing/using the experimental new rear shock on their KX250's,
wich was located horizontally underneath the bike!)

[Super Trucker]

I think that,s the same Kawi team Tortelli was on in 97. I have a video of the season, Tortelli was super fast if he had the same speed when he came to America RC  wouldn,t have been winning everything. But he lost his break away speed, and the will to really let it hang out-on the edge. Those Kawi,s had a awesome bark, his 250 sounded like it had no low end then a massive brap.

[EJ]

Yep, that's the same team. Too bad Jan De Groot passed away in 2006.
he was a real tuning genius. Could perform wonders with Kawi KX's.
Many big GP stars rode for them.

I love the crowd, they were cheering on him in every possible place! Nice stuff.
