Despite finishing a consistent 6th, 8th and 5th, Simpson still managed to hang to the title with fellow LS Honda team-mate Ken De Dycker winning the overall open class on the day. Shaun is now the only non-Belgian rider, along with Billy Liles from the USA, to have won the coveted championship in 20 years, so the achievement is huge and will be a huge boost to his confidence going into a another World Championship next year.
Shaun will now move to Steve Dixon's Cosworth Yamaha team for next year's World Motocross Championship to compete in the MX1 class alongside MX2 team-mates Arnaud Tonus and Zach Osborne.
