Sunday's third and final main event saw Vuillemin clinch another victory, and prove what might have been without the day one retirement, while countryman Pourcel was crowned King of Bercy - despite falling at the first turn!
While Christophe remounted, Grant again took an early lead - ahead of Vuillemin, former MX2 world champion Antonio Cairoli and Renet - but couldn't hold off DV12 and the Frenchman put his Honda ahead on lap three of 15. Grant then maintained a safe second to at least salvage a podium from his French adventure, while Renet repeated his excellent Friday result with third.
"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.
