Spanish rider Dany Torres won the battle but lost the war after taking the final X-Fighters contest of the 2008 season in Warsaw Saturday. Swiss rider Mat Rebeaud, who finished third, simply had too much of a lead in the overall standings to be knocked out.
Aussie Robbie Maddison finished second in the contest (third overall) while Metal Mulisha rider Jeremy Lusk crashed twice on his way to a fourth-place finish (same overall).
There was also a Super Session contest featuring four teams of three riders each battling it out in Step Up, Speed & Style, Quarterpipe Jam and Classic FMX. Ronnie Renner’s “Team Renner” finished in first, featuring Renner, Travis Pastrana (competing in his only contest of the series) and Thomas Pages. Pages was riding in place of Andre Villa, who broke his leg during practice on Friday.
The contest took place in the historic Stadion X-Lecia in Warsaw, Poland, with 35,000 fans on hand. The stadium is scheduled to be demolished and replaced by a new arena.
