After a very tight 4-rounds championship, the list of winners is complete. The French circuit of Angerville crowned 2009 Grand Finals Junior champion Ukyo Sasahara from Japan in Junior Max despite not starting in both prefinal and final.
In Senior Max, 2007 Euro Senior champion and 2008 Grand Finals Senior champion Ben Cooper from the UK grabbed the title by one point after a flawless weekend, taking both prefinal and final win.
The Max Masters field was very active, with championship leader Mikko Laine having a bad weekend but managing nonetheless to take the crown.
DD2 saw 2010 revelation Simas Juodvirsis from Lithuania sweeping the field in prefinal and final increasing his points advantage to 18 over vice-champion Belgium’s Mathias Detige.
