...and he is "MX Panda", why?

A skin condition that makes him appear two-tone?

Because when he was still on a Suzuki he almost always rode while using black and white clothing making him look like a Panda bear on a bike. Someone called him Panda when goofing around and the name sticked.



Clement is a great guy. He does not have the talent like Carmichael, Everts, Dungey or Cairoli have but he achieved his goal by hard work and determination. This 1st place in free practise is awesome but i will be very happy if he manages a top 5 today.

i think he did very well, give him his own bike, 2 months of preparation and i think he would be able to challenge guys like reed, grant etc.

he rode solid, especially when u see how tricky the track is. Cooper's crash was brutal.
