Last years World Champion Frenchman Brice Lopez (right) stroke back at the second round of the French Championship, winning the Pro Ski class. The podium was completed by Michael Poret and Jean Baptiste Botti, both team members of JFC Team. Lopez is racing on a Hydrospace this year and most possibly will participate with the same race craft at the World Finals.

The new rider of JFC Team, Frenchman Michael Poret is the fresh blood of personal water craft racing in Europe.
