Julio David Palao wins in Valencia and is crowned champion of the Ninja Cup
The title of the 2012 Kawasaki Ninja Cup has finally gone to Julio David Palao, who did not leave the podium all season, closing out a great year for the Jade Motor rider
The rider from Yecla has been crowned 2012 Kawasaki Ninja Cup champion in style, taking pole position, the fastest lap and the victory in the race held at the Ricardo Tormo circuit in Cheste. His rival for the title, Ignacio Contreras, could only finish sixth, leaving the way clear for Palao to take the championship.
The podium was completed by Francisco Javier Hidalgo and Jesús Alconchel, who could not keep up with the strong pace Julio set from the start. Behind them came Sergio Mora and Fabien Parchard, though already a long way off the leader.
The guest journalist rider, Keko Ochoa from Mediaset, finished in 12th place, battling Jorge Gutiérrez throughout the race. The commentator for the world championship and the CEV did not have an easy race, as he even went off at a corner and came very close to crashing.
Julio David Palao, the newly crowned champion, wanted to dedicate the title won today at the Cheste Circuit to his father, who passed away a month ago, and with whom he would surely have liked to share this great moment with his son.
