What a weekend for Amaury Pierron! The native of Brioude flew over the seventh round of the World Cup of the season at Snowshoe in the United States. The 26-year-old Auvergnat initially won the classification round, making him start last in the final race.
Close to the final coronation
In the final descent, Pierron got off to a good start, being the second fastest to pass the first intermediate, before slowing down a bit, fifth on the third point. But thanks to an ultra-fast finish, the Frenchman overtook everyone to win this round of the World Cup, his fifth this season. He takes the maximum possible points over a weekend, with 250 units. The Englishman Bernard Kerr finished second this Saturday, the Austrian Andreas Kolb completed the podium.

In the general classification of the World Cup, Amaury Pierron has 422 points ahead of Loris Vergier, eighth this Saturday after a fall, two rounds from the end and therefore a maximum of 500 points to distribute. Only one other man can still overtake him, the Canadian Finn Iles, with 434 points behind the Auvergnat. Barring a cataclysm, Amaury Pierron is heading straight for the final crowning, already winner of the event in 2018.
