TORONTO SX WITH BUD RACING MONSTER KAWASAKI

Second US experience for Soubeyras

In the United States the racing calendar is always very tight and just one week after Daytona, Cedric Soubeyras was in Toronto for the third round of the US East Coast SX series.

Single race organised outside America, this round of the Supercross World Championship met once more the best SX riders on a very typical track compared to Daytona. Racing Supercross in his career all over Europe, Cédric was tense before the first practice sessions. “Some sections are really hard and the whoops are much bigger than usual, you can’t compare with any SX Tour race,” he said. Thirteenth overall in the practice sessions, the Bud Racing Monster Energy Kawasaki rider qualified straight for the main with a good sixth position in his heat race. At the start of the main there was a pile up in the first corner, but Cédric found his way until the second corner…where he crashed! During fifteen laps he fight with the other American riders, always hard to pass, giving 120% to get a thirteenth position. Not exactly what he was expected, but next weekend in Detroit Cédric will be again very motivated for his US challenge.

Since last summer Nicolas Dercourt didn’t enter any race except the French elite opening round 2 weeks ago due to his last year knee injury, so this weekend he went to a local race in his native Picardy to prepare the French and European series. Winner of both MX2 heats, Nicolas didn’t took any risks during the super finale as the night was coming; he did a strong race against Richard Fura and it’s 450, finishing second. But the most important for him was to take some starts, and to prepare the second round of the French Elite, this coming weekend in St Thibery.
