As always in Bercy, the Saturday night was one of the best in the stadium, with many fans coming from all over France with their legendary enthusiasm. They enjoyed the American show, as the US riders claimed the first four positions in the main event; before the third and last night.
Barcia Boss of Bercy
Justin Barcia is in good position to become the new King of Bercy but Trey Canard is closed. Fifth today, Gautier Paulin will defend his podium position against Andrew Short tomorrow.
Tonight again the POPB (Palais Omnisport Paris Bercy) was sold out, and the fans put a great atmosphere. They enjoyed the battles between Justin Barcia and Trey Canard, and support their local hero Gautier Paulin when he won the super pole session. Fastest than the American riders, the Frenchman missed a good start in the American race and didn’t qualify on the first row for the main event! Leading most of the main event after winning his semi final and the American race, Justin Barcia had to block pass Trey Canard in one of the last laps of the race as his teammate just passed him in the whoops section! With this second consecutive win Justin is leading the ‘King of Bercy’ classification, but Trey is really closed! Third tonight Andrew Short did a strong race, and beats Cooper Webb and Gautier Paulin who raced together for the fourth position.
