Boom-Boom Barcia King of Bercy!
Bercy 2010 is over with the American favorite Justin Barcia as the final winner. The GEICO-Honda rider was the best on Friday and Sunday. Regular Kyle Chisholm came second today and also second in the final standings. Two-stroke hero Cédric Soubeyras was the best Frenchman with third place. Marvin Musquin did not play again, reportedly hitting his ligaments or meniscus of the right knee on Saturday.
Today's final had little to do with Barcia's dominance. However, Barcia's debut in Bercy was not without mention. From Paulin to Izoird and Coulon, the American had a hard time with the French all weekend long. 'Boum-Boum' Barcia did not have to count on the fair-play prize! Motoconcepts-Yamaha rider Chisholm won the Course Americaine earlier today ahead of Cyril Coulon and Greg Aranda. Ken De Dycker ends his SX adventure with an 11th place in the final standings and a lot of practical experience. The Belgian crashed spectacularly both on Friday and today during the Course Americaine, but fortunately without injuries. Four-time world champion Cairoli finally had his best result today with a fourth place. However, the Italian never achieved his highest efficiency and Cairoli did not feel at home on the circuit.
Among the GP riders, Greg Aranda in particular stole the show with a victory on Saturday. In the rich history of the Paris Supercross, this edition will not be written in golden letters. Crashes and injuries cast a long spell on the 28th edition. Wrist fracture for Byrne, knee injuries for Anstie and Musquin, back injury for the retiring Langston, wrist injury for Blake Wharton... As a negative outlier, things went very wrong for Charles Pages on Saturday evening. Pages suffered a serious fall during a front flip and fell into a coma.
