The rider from Moto Club Saumurois secures his first world championship crown with the French national team.
Mathis Hupon, a rider based in Longué-Joué and affiliated with Moto Club Saumurois, has etched his name into the international records of the discipline. During the recent Nations' World Championship in side-car cross, held in Saône-et-Loire, the young rider contributed to the French delegation's victory, thereby claiming his first world title on a team basis.
This performance follows in the wake of a solid individual season. Hupon once again distinguished himself on the national circuit by securing the title of French runner-up. Although this second place in the national standings remains an honorary distinction, it was the collective result that drew attention this year, offering the Angers-based rider recognition on a global scale.
The side-car cross discipline is renowned for its demanding nature and often difficult racing conditions, which mix mud and obstacles. Holding the competition on local ground in Saône-et-Loire helped mobilize the public and highlight the talents of the French national squad. The French team managed the pressure of the final round effectively to prevail over the other participating nations.
For Hupon, this feat marks a decisive stage in his sporting career. Transitioning from the status of a regular national challenger to that of a team world champion validates his technical work and his ability to fit into a high-performance team dynamic. His entourage at Moto Club Saumurois rejoices in this recognition, which puts local talent on the international sporting stage.
The event also served as a real-world test before the rest of the season. By confirming his results, Hupon positions himself as one of the major protagonists in the specialty. The team victory completes a year during which he has regularly demonstrated his consistency and mastery of riding in the most complex side-car configurations.
