Rémy Absalon (Commencal) won a car for his efforts taking the overall 2008 Avalanche Trophy. Last Friday, Absalon headed to Dijon to pick up his Saab 9.3 Break. The new wheels will come in handy when transporting Absalon to next year's races. Organizers also announced the 2009 series calendar.
Absalon won with 1,843 points ahead of Grégory Doucende (Lapierre Salomon) with 1,649 points and David Vazquez Lopez (Lapierre Salomon) with 1,615 points. Rémy is two-time Olympic Games gold medal winner Julien Absalon's younger brother.
