Ahh-TEEEENNN-SHaaaaaaawwwwwwnnn!! (loud cheers, loud music, airhorns, lights!) That's how each night of supercross starts at the Omnisports de Bercy in Paris, France, for what is without a doubt the wildest motorsports show anywhere. Read more here on IgnitionMX.

Bercy night one was just a little crazy. DV made about a lap in the main and his bike locked up and he DNF'd. Just after that, Josh Grant, who was really strong in the whoops fell in them and DNF'd. Christophe Pourcel, totally on the gas, won it! France is leading the team race points going into night #2. Grant is sore but plans on racing. DV is borrowing a spare motor for now from Pierre Alexandre Renet, a very fast guy that made the podium and also won the "SX Tour," the French SX round (like a Lites class-but everyone uses 250Fs at Bercy.)

In Toyota AMA AX, Reynard won at Albany, night 1, and Jimmy Nelson won both mains at BooKoo AX in Salem.

Jeff Ward won the Supermoto championship in Long Beach, not even 30 minutes after his son win the mini title. That means two Wards won an AMA championship at the same event! When has that ever happened? Mark Burkhart won and Ward was second. Pingree won Lites!

GuyB was at the BooKoo AX opener in Fresno and has news and pics at www.vitalmx.com.

Reynard won night 2 at Des Moines. Smith leads the series after the first round. Chad Johnson had bad starts both nights. Kody Molitor won Lites.

Danny Smith won night one at Des Moines. Defending champ Chad Johnson was on the ground in the first turn and had to catch up. Grey Davenport won Lites.
