As in 2011, the town of Avignon, the last round after Porto Vecchio, Soissons and Vichy, hosted the 2012 final of the French Jet-Ski Championship partnered by Motul among others. A round which was more beneficial for team RaceSprit than last year (while leading the championship, Jérémy Poret let his title slip away following a fall) since it won two Champion of France titles. We of course owe the first title, clinched in the Ski Elite category, to Jérémy Poret. He indeed managed to take his revenge over Jimmy Pons (the 2011 Champion) whose team Paradiz is also supported technically by Motul and which finished in 10th place.
The second title was secured by Romain Stampers. By finishing this last round second, the man dubbed the 'French showman' is the new Freestyle Pro Champion of France 2012.
