Excited to see what he can do tonight. Guess to make the main event are his goals, which in my opinion should be no problem for him.

Did I miss something?
What's wrong with Fox suspension?

If he hasn't gone through RICKY CARMICHAEL's Road to Supercross program then he'll be lucky to make it out of Phoenix without hurting himself or another rider(s). You guys need to pay attention to the GOAT!!!Silly

I just wish Cedric was racing the smoker. Not sure about the Michelin tires but it's a French company so he's got to represent...

How many other riders do you see running it at the top level in either the 450 or 250 class? In the past few years a few smaller teams have tried it only to go back to their former OEM tuned suspension...Hmmmm?

Wish he was trying to qualify on a two stroke, he was going to a couple years ago with motoconcepts but I think he got injured in a practice crash unfortunately. He should give it another try.

I think he'll make the main and be hovering in or around the top 15.

I'll say 12th too.

I'd like to be as optimistic as you, but around 15 to 18 would be a good and more realistic accomplishment. He's fast but 20 laps in a real SX track and in the US with all this competition is completely different from what he's used to (even if he already entered a US SX before in the Lites class).

I feel unsure about it in supercross, obviously with someone like showa, kyb etc you get a group of technicians with a lot of previous data to draw on at the track.

Got to test their shock in september back to back with my own and preferred what I had with my showa. (I do run their stuff on my dh rig though and love it!)

Hopefully he will make the main. I'm guessing he's not riding a 2stroke anymore bc he's getting more $ to ride a 4stroke. Its all about the money people. I would race a 4stroke too if someone else was paying the bill!!

Might make the main, might not. If he makes it - 17th.

Soubeyras has been running the Fox suspension for all his Euro championships and Fox has a tech on site (Mike Marquez) as well as testing all week with him @ Milestone, they say the bike is dialed as viewed here on the video someone put up. Wish him the best as he's frikkin fast!!

i love the guy but i think he may punt himself off course, via 1 or 2 others. If he hits the main good luck to him and those around him.
