"It was great to see so many fans cheering us, and that's the secret of Bercy," said Vuillemin. "It was a challenge for me to come here and race with a 250 four-stroke, but I like challenges. I want to thank the NGS team, because if they hadn't offered me an engine after my problem on the first night then I couldn't have raced."
But despite Vuillemin's two wins, fifth for Pourcel meant he was crowned King of Bercy - on only his second attempt - while France also celebrated victory in the team event. Indeed, Frenchmen filled the top four places on the overall classification, with the impressive Renet second to Pourcel, Vuillemin third and Eric Sorby fourth.
Brayton, who crashed in Sunday's main, was fifth overall and the first foreign rider, with Grant seventh overall, Mike Alessi 13th and Mike Brown just 17th.
