Initially when we saw the particular photo at Tech510 blog we thought that someone had added an additional flotation device to the watercraft. Then we wondered, what for. A closer look will give you the answer since those are side panniers for those who want to carry more staff at their expeditions. Well, just make sure that you will not over load them…

Grand Prix of France - Ghisonaccia, Corsica, 3-5 June 2011. Sunday, 5 June, GHISONACCIA (Corsica): Francois Medori produced a champion’s drive in front of his home crowd in Ghisonaccia to take his second win of the weekend in Runabout F1 to win the French Grand Prix title. Second place in today’s heat in Ski Division F1 gave Jeremy Poret his third Grand Prix title of the year. The race win going to Porto-Vecchio’s Jean-Baptiste Botti. But the weekend belonged to local hero Francois Medori, leading another French rout in all four classes, and brilliantly holding his nerve after a titanic race-long fight with defending World Champion, Cyrille Lemoine. Medori led from the flag and was hounded for 10 of the 16 laps by his fellow-countryman. Lemoine piled on the pressure lap-after-lap, by lap ten cutting Medori’s lead to just two seconds. But Medori responded in the latter stages, moving out to a nine second lead to take the pressure off, and going on to take his third heat win and second Grand Prix title of the year. Italy’s Mattia Fracasso played a somewhat solitary cameo role behind the race leaders, finishing 13-seconds behind Lemoine, but third place put him into second in the Grand Prix standings, ahead of Lemoine. Didier Chabert just held off Lorenzo Benaglia who had scythed his way through the field from tenth to take fifth spot, with Yann Barros completing the top six. Jean-Baptiste Botti led home a trio of French riders in Ski Division F1, controlling the race from the start, with heat 1 winner Jeremy Poret passing Vincent Villat on lap seven to go second and secure the title - Botti taking the runners-up spot.

Grand Prix of France - Ghisonaccia, Corsica, 3-5 June 2011. Medori thrills home crowd with heat 1 win. Saturday, 4 June, GHISONACCIA (Corsica): Ghisonaccia’s local hero Francois Medori gave his home crowd the win they wanted to see, storming to victory in Runabout F1, on an afternoon of spectacular racing which French riders dominated, winning all the opening heats of the Grand Prix of France. The Poret brothers made it a family affair in Ski Division F1, with the World Championship leader Jeremy Poret leading home older brother Mickael, Porto-Vecchio’s Jean-Baptiste Botti preventing a Poret one-two-three, finishing ahead of the youngest brother of the Poret racing dynasty, Morgan. For the second Grand Prix weekend in a row, heat 1 of Runabout F1 turned into a nightmare for both Cyrille Lemoine and Franky Zapata; Lemoine forced to come back to shore on the opening lap with a problem - but rejoining the race to finish down in eighth place but salvaging valuable points - with Zapata breaking down and stopping on lap nine after leading from the start. Romain Stampers struck a psychological blow in the Freestyle show taking his third straight heat-win over the flamboyant Italian, Valerio Calderoni.

Trey Frame wins the US Open of Watercross Pro-Am Runabout Open Class. We got off to a very fast start on Sunday morning in Montgomery, AL for the US Open of Watercross. The temperatures were well into the 90's and the humidity was close to 100%, but every rider was focused on the second stop of the tour. In the Pro-Am Runabout Open class things got dicey in moto 3 with the Yamaha Dean's Team RIVA racing Dustin Charrier getting together with the National Guard powered number 21 of Trey Frame in the hole shot. Frame on his Blackstar powered Yamaha was able to hold his line and made a break for it, finishing on top of the box. At last year's US Open of Watercross Frame broke his leg during the Pro-Am Runabout Open, which made this year's win even sweeter - finally grabbing the US Open Champion title. Claude Clayton on board his Sea Doo shook off a poor finish in moto 1 and used consistency to post a number 2 finish. Defending national champion Erminio Iantosca ran his Judge Motorsports Kawasaki to a 3rd place finish.
