Supercross Paris preview
By Alex Hodgkinson on 16th Nov 17
Supercross hits Paris this weekend for the first time in four years and the highest profile indoor event in Europe boasts its usual spectacular line-up and show.
Topping the bill is Vegas millionaire and Red Bull Straight Rhythm winner Marvin Musquin but he faces US opposition from Zach Osborne, Cole Seely and Jeremy Martin along with Scotlands Dean Wilson, hot from his first-night success in Sydney.
Completing the French line-up will be Jordi Tixier, making his debut for Bos KTM, Stuttgart winner Cedric Soubeyras, AX champion Thomas Ramette, Fabien Izoird, Cyrille Coulon and all the regular suspects from the strong domestic series in a three-race SX1 programme.
SX2 will feature Benoit Paturel, Brian Hsu, Iker Larranaga and Josh Hill on the Alta Redshift E-bike whos taking on Thomas Do and the French regulars. And, of course, there will be the usual top-grade FMX show.
The show in the brand new U-Arena in Nanterre starts at 8pm on Saturday and 3pm on Sunday.
Not present this weekend in Paris will be Greg Aranda who had to withdraw from racing in Stuttgart last weekend when it became apparent that a plate in his hand had come loose, requiring an operation.
