IN THE WIND P32 MUSQUIN WINS GENEVA SUPERCROSS M arvin Musquin continues to on the Euro- pean supercross scene as the Red Bull KTM rider collected another victory, this time at the Geneva Supercross in Geneva, Switzer- land, December 1-2. Fresh off his big win at the Paris Super- cross, Musquin out-dueled Jason Anderson and Justin Brayton to get the overall win. Musquin won both nights with Anderson, on the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna, taking second both times. Musquin had to fight his way around Ander- son in both main events, though Anderson made it a little easier on Musquin when he went down while leading. Brayton, on the MotoConcepts Honda, was third both nights. "The goal was to come here and win like I did in Paris two weeks ago and also here last year," Musquin said. "I knew coming in with Jason and Justin Brayton there would be some good racing. The track was pretty good. On Friday, Jason and I had an intense battleā€”it could have been dirty but we kept it clean! At the end I was able to make the pass stick and beat him straight up. It was a differ- ent story on Saturday because he had the better start and we were going for it and pushing hard. My aim was to put pressure on him and to see what would happen with that pressure. He made it easy for me by making a mistake and going down, after that I just managed the gap. It is great to win here four times in a row." CN PHOTOGRAPHY BY KTM IMAGES ELECTRIC VERSUS CARMICHAEL J osh Hill and Ricky Carmichael went head to head during an exhibition race at the Geneva Supercross, with Hill on the electric- power Alta Redshift MX bike and Carmichael on his Suzuki RM-Z450.
