Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing Official MXGP Team rider Romain Febvre marked his first return to active motocross since a heavy crash at Matterley Basin in June with a double-moto win at Iffendic on Sunday and a confidence-building weekend ahead of next week's MXGP of the Czech Republic in Loket.

Febvre brought his Yamaha YZ450FM to the French Motocross Championship's final round at Iffendic over the weekend, to line up at the MX1 Elite starting gate on a hot day in Brittany, just west of Rennes.
