This weekend coming is a big one for all French Supercross fans! The race, whether you call it the Bercy as it was for thirty years or Lille for the last three is known by everyone else as the Paris Supercross. :)

Usually its a smaller Arenacross style track but this year the floor has opened out to a full Supercross layout! This lends itself well to some of the visiting riders who are more than used to this kind of track.

Things are a little different with the French event though. in order to be crowed king you need to do well in EVERY race. That's right, even the heat races are scored and they all count towards your total score. Shakes things up though and makes sure people turn up properly to each race!

Red Bull KTM’s Marvin Musquin will undoubtedly be the star attraction after the year he has had! $1 million winner at the Monster Cup, winner of the Red Bull Straight Rhythm and a very close second in the outdoor season, arguably to an early injury. He is flying at the moment and will be the favourite for sure.

Lining up with him will be Honda HRC's Cole Seely who is back on the bike for the first time since the MXoN, lets hope his night goes better than his progress at that event which saw him dnf twice with suspension issues...

Next up we have Rockstar Energy Husqvarna’s Dean Wilson who is riding off the back of a very strong performance at the AUS-X last weekend. Wilson grabbed the win on the Saturday and only just missed out to his team mate Jason Anderson for the overall, one to watch for sure! Joining Wilson will be team mate Zach Ozborne who interestingly will be jumping aboard a 450F for this race. We know that he is planned to make the move up to the 450 Supercross class in 2019 after a defending his title in the upcoming season. He is no doubt using this to get a few extra hours in before that and i am looking forward to seeing how he handles the 450.

GEICO Honda, not wanting to miss out, are sending Jeremy Martin and he is also opting to pilot a 450F! This will be an interesting one to watch as last time he threw a leg over a 450 was Daytona and he put himself on the podium after grabbing the holeshot! wow.

All in all this event is lining up to be a cracker! As always i will do my best to keep you steemers up to date and well informed as things progress :)

Marvin Musquin’s has exceptional riding abilities. He will be extremely hard to beat!!

He is one of the best @agt2001, especially at the moment! Riding with confidence :)

Paris supercross👏👏👏 in srilanka have a motor cross in this sundayyyyy🎉🎊🎊🎊🎉

Yep I reckon MM25 for the win. Home crowd, momentum from RB Straight Rhythm, MEC ... not to mention he is seriously talented and has managed to figure it out in the last year or so to get everything working.

Looking forward to your coverage of this one!

Yeah i think there have been some changes with the bike which are more geared towards him now. With Dungey moving on Musquin has become the main focus for the team and wow has he earned that privilege this year! Loving it as I'm a KTM man myself :)

Oh nice, do you own a KTM also?

thanks for your information.

Marvin musquin has been consistent over the years and he is favorite but I expect Cole seely to give him a good run for his money. I don't think the remaining contenders have what it takes to March those two

I agree with Musquin @olagunju but remember Jeremy Martin beat most of these at Daytona :)

Yeah you're right. That's the beauty of the beautiful game. No permanent winner

Thank you for update Paris supercross @b0y2k.

Always a pleasure @madushanka :)

Wow...nice kick ups

I think Marvin Musquin will be chamipion.

You and me both @kingsberry :)
