Spain's Alejandro Martinez Chorro had finished 8th in qualification however he put in the ride of his life when it really mattered, incredibly picking up a bronze medal. It even looked for a while like it could have been even better for the Spaniard as rider after rider failed to match his time until Melvin Landerneau eclipsed him by .3 of a second, sending the French crowd into raptures.
