feated on the night with 1-1-1 main event
finishes.
"King of Paris 2021; that was obvi-
ously the goal," Musquin said, "and
I came here well prepared as we are
getting closer to the new Supercross
season in January. This event is always
a good training for me, although it was
different this year as the track had no
whoops. It was fun anyway and the soil
was choppy, it was still challenging. I
wanted to get holeshots, be at the front
and keep pushing to the end.
"I'm happy," he added. "It was a
one-day format this time, but I enjoyed
it and went 1-2 with my buddy Cedric
Soubeyras: two Frenchies! That was
pretty amazing."
The other French veteran, Cedric
Souberas, held his own and logged
3-2-2 finishes for second overall. The
Paris fans voiced their approval of the
1-2 French finishers.
There was another popular French
racer on the start line, but unfortunate-
ly, Romain Febvre suffered a horrific get-off in race two. The
Kawasaki rider ejected from his bike over the triple jump and
sustained a broken leg.
Brayton, aboard the Smartop/Bullfrog Spas/Motoconcepts
Honda, rounded out the SX1 podium, going 2-3-4 on the night.
He ran in third for the duration of race three, but an aggressive
last-lap block pass by Cairoli put the American on the ground.
Marvin Musquin
and fellow
Frenchman
Cedric Soubeyras
celebrate their 1-2
overall finish in
front of the happy
crowd.
Justin Brayton was
the top American
finisher in third
overall.
