Daniele Ielasi is 2008 World Champion

At the end of qualifying he was delighted to make his first ever 1:10 200mm World Championship Final but now Daniele Ielasi has gone one better and won a thrilling one hour Main Final here in Portugal to become the 2008 World Champion. Having suffered cruel luck at the 1:8 European Championship last month, Ielasi was clearly emotional after claiming his first ever World title which was greeted by huge applause from the large crowd who witnessed the race.

I think he accidentally dropped it and it had broken. But his statement about Bertin is not suprising as Bertin can be quite the aggressor and bad sport at times.
