BJ wins final park race, but overall title goes to Österbö
Despite finishing over 30 seconds ahead of second-place getter Mats Haldin in today’s race, BJ’s 15th place in the penultimate race was always going to make it difficult for him to overtake Öystein Kvaal Österbö in the overall points standing, and sixth place was enough to give Österbö the 2005 PWT title.
Although Tatiana Riabkina missed the first two races of the tour in Italy, she still finished second overall, only 4 points behind Dana Brozkova; Riabkina won today’s race by over 40 seconds from Finland’s Riian Kuuselo, with round 3 winner, Ieva Sargautyte of Lithuania third.
