I'm pretty sure that he will race Lille and possibly some other Euro SX races!

Pretty sure he's riding the Aussie SX (maybe it's another one of the overseas SX races) with Webb and Mookie.

Really?!?!

That seems crazy to me, less he's getting paid heaps, which as a world champ I can't imagine he needs it, why risk it?! He's got like 50 Gps to race this year haha

Because he's a beast !

Remember he missed a few races this season because of concussion so maybe just getting as much race time in before winter. I know it's SX but still intense racing and I imagine brilliant for fitness, man gotta be a fan of this kid he's gnarly.

Good change of pace for those guys to ride some sx im sure! I mean it is pretty fun to ride tracks like that with rhythm sections and stuff. No matter what all the old farts on here will say...

Fun to ride, less fun to watch! Atleast when there is like 20 rounds of it

It's over 4 months to the first MXGP race. Sure he has time to do something else than pound laps at Lommel.

You make a point. But I'd much rather have 18(current sx season is 18 rounds right?) rounds of MX and 12 rounds of SX than the otherway around

yep, febvre had to take quite some comments on his mx skills. some racers said he does everything wrong but still somehow manages to go fast. I personally think it's great that he is training his sx skills to get better in general. sx doesn't seem to come easy to him but he looks pretty determined to get good at it. and let's not forget that he had a view years break of mx unlike most guys he is completing against who raced mx all their lives.

He's doing Lille (I don't know about other races) and said this time he wanted to practice seriously and not only for a week like he did last year.
Edit: Yes, he's doing Arnhem (The Netherlands) this week end too.
