You got a point but he is a full time 250 rider and no experience in 450. The lites class is really competitive and it's tough to get a good bike.

MotoConcepts likes the challenge, the fans like the challenge and it's good marketing for MotoConcepts.

The goal isn't to be in the top 10 or being competitive in front. The goal is to try to make the mains which would be a great accomplishment.
What a great "concept" for this team. Great marketing for any team given all the "negative" in the world today and the economy. Many fans will watch this.

Great for the sport we all love, no matter what position he finishes. Thank you for making this happen.

When the lights go down for the opening ceremonies, they should have his bike mic'ed and revving just as Godvoice starts.

Yes this is pretty awesome!

But the odds are stacked agians them with the track layout, fuel and rules all in favour of the 4 strokes,
The push for 2 strokes is coming from people that ride/into riding and not the manufacturers marketing teams and the like thats why the atempts to get 2 strokes back in the game have been half baked, lets hope this is at lest 3/4 baked! lol
all they got to do is make the main.

Good work MR DV12, hope Cedric and the Motoconcet team do well.

It won't be right until we have a 125 and a 250 class.

GO DV12 and Soubeyras!!! Instant fan here. I’ll cheer for Cedric in last place over ANY fooper in first.

This gives me and several other racers I know a reason to finally watch SX on the tube and even go attend a couple.

It’s kinda like David vs Goliath. In this case David has the best HP per weight ratio and Goliath is just ... 35 pounds overweight! lol

This doesn’t bring back the 125 class (best class ever) but it is worth some celebration.

Where can I order MotoConcepts graphics for my YZ125 and 250???

Only just got a chance to read this. This is the best news so far regarding the 2011 season. Its great to see that so many other guys feel the same way. Regardless of how well he does, I think that he will have the most support and plenty of guys cheering him on. Congrats to Motoconcepts and DV12, I know that this will definitely be a worthwhile project, and very good timing, with the current two stroke support the highest it has been in a long time. Cant wait to see Cedric on the line. With that recent thread on whether he would qualify, I guess we know find out for sure. Hopefully he silences his critics. Go Cedric.

How cool would it be if they made if fair on him and let him ride the 250 in the 250 class!

You guys about not having parts and shit are out there, you can get everything and anything you need for those bikes still, and they will have everything they need for his bike trust me.

And he does have skills, I beleive he will make the mains, and if he doesnt he will be damn close every time, Night show will be a breeze.

Its going to be cool thats for sure!!

Now just need someone on the east coast to ride one, I would say me but after breaking my femur I still havent been cleared to ride yet after 10 months, so have no time to be ready and Im not doing a repeat of last year where I was totally unprepared, with barely any riding for weeks and a stock not dialed in bike.

Maybe Motoconcepts could have someone ride the bike on the east coast????

be awesome to see cedric out there on the 2 stroke- i think he will qualify for the mains, he is a great rider and already a competent supercross rider, if he has a good start i would love to see him running up front!
How cool would it be to see him get the holeshot in the main event?! braaaaaaaaaaaaap

a smoker racing at that level will be the best thing for SX and the fans. Cedric is going to have a huge following. Go Cedric!!!

YOU CANNOT BEAT THE FOUR - STROKES !

Who does Cedric think he is ?


* DAVE *%#@&*^$#*&$ JONES ????? !!!




* Dave beat all the 450's at Loretta's with a KX-125.

Dave is a god amongst men and reigns chief of the 2 stroke rebellion.

I'm callin B.S.,

In 2007, I think, Steve Lamson did his farewell outdoor race at Hangtown on a 125(or it was supposed to be), and you could hear that thing singin' around the whole track over the 250f's. I think they let him slide on the sound test, because it made your ears bleed if you were on the fence!
