Word from the Motoconcepts team managed by David Vuillemin in the USA is that French 2/stroke specialist Cedric Soubeyras will race a number of Supercross rounds possibly Phoenix through to San Diego.
Is cedric riding lites or open as he is evidently on a 250 2stroke

The bike looks great, hat's off to Mr. Vuillemin and his son David on their program.
I was wondering tho.......
Has this guy ever ridden here?
What kind of SX experience does he have over there?
How does he stack against the current 3 Euros that are here for their first time?
He's done most of the main SX races in Europe, and also the French SX series. The tracks are smaller in Europe, though.
I'm pretty sure if you search the forum, you'll find a thread on the idea of doing it, a thread on the bike build, and a thread on the graphics he's running.
If you check into the Scratch 'n Sniff forum, you can smell a sample of the exhaust.
I honestly think it's possible...
If they have any deep sand sections it might help him stay on top and not push like the thumper .... but then light sand sections could simply make for difficult traction and hook-up ... especially with that explosive engine they've put together. Some sort of traction control device would be handy.
Someone is going to have to get some good vid - or just audio - clips of him and post them up.
When CEDRIC lappeth the field on their flimsy four-bangers, we'll be changing
his last name to " SOBADASS" ....
Just sayin'....
That is great.
Pit Row
No one has suggested that he'll lap the field or anything like that. It cheapens the whole effort and all the enthusiastic people who are happy that it's finally happening by flippantly suggesting that people think he's going to lap the field. We don't and we're just hoping for one spark against the starless night, to tell you the truth. All the endless mudbuggy 4 stroke racing has just gotten real boring that's all...
If we want to see 250 2 strokes lap every 4 stroke in the field, we don't have to look very far. Chad Reed and RC did it in San Diego 05. K Dub was the top finishing Fooper Trooper and he got lapped by both of them, and it wasn't because of a fall or any other such mishap.
Wait, they have that here?
