REBEAUD PUTS SOLID CAP ON 2005 SEASON

The final round of the 2005 IFMXF Night of the Jumps season in Cologne, saw a dominant performance from Swiss Matt Rebeaud.


The opening with the pyro show

Matt rode to victory in the qualifying round, as well as the Final, Whip team contest with team mate Kris Brock (ENG) and the Highest Air. Matt had already sealed the points race up in the 2005 Night of the Jumps championship at the penultimate round in Nurenburg two weeks earlier from Ailo Gaup (Nor).


The winner of the Night of the Jumps Tour 2005 - Mat Rebeaud (SUI)


Second in the final was Oystein Kjorstad (NOR) | NacNac Flip


Third was Busty Wolter (GER) doing a nice Lazyboy


Winner Mat Rebeaud and 4th was Fabian Bauersachs (GER)


Fifth was Fred Johansson (SWE) and sixth was Kris Brock.

Second to Matt and Kris in the Team Whip contest was the German duo of Busty Wolter and Lucas Weis. Second and third in the Highest Air were Kris Brock and Jimmy Verburgh (Bel).

The evening was riddled with spectacular crashes, possibly due to rider fatigue this late in the season. The IFMXF season takes a break over the summer, with the World Cup season commencing later in the year. Several of the top IFMXF riders will now head to the US to contest the upcoming series there.
