Paris Bercy Supercross - Night 2 - James Stewart!

Attention: open in a new window.

The world famous Paris Bercy Supercross - the 27th edition now running in 2009, saw AMA Supercross Series Champion James Stewart winning for the second night in a row, followed by another American, Justin Brayton, on the Joe Gibbs Racing Yamaha.

Why is Bercy legendary and world famous in supercross lore? The 'show' and the fans. It is unique compared to any other supercross - a very special place to watch or to race. And the 'hometown' crowd always give a lot of love to the 'hometown' riders, this year including MX2 World Motocross Champion Marvin Musquin, and Greg Aranda.

James Stewart has made other news this weekend in France as well. In interviews, he has been quoted as saying he will not race any 'motocross' events in 2010 (including the 2010 Motocross of Nations in the USA, and the 2010 AMA National Motocross Series). He will concentrate solely on supercross racing, and a reality TV show. With the change of schedule in the Motocross Grand Prix series starting in 2011, he stated he does have interest in possibly pursuing the World Motocross Championship after the supercross season is completed in 2011. (To read the these 2011 schedule changes, you can view this article.)
