December 8, 2008, 5:00pm
Montreal, QC - Canadian Moto-X fans will have the opportunity to watch the great Jean-Sébastien Roy (JSR) win his final professional race when TSN has coverage of the 31st annual Montréal Supercross competition on Saturday, Dec. 13 at 1 p.m. ET on TSN and TSN HD. The one-hour special broadcast of the event, which was held earlier this year on September 20 at historic Olympic Stadium in Montréal, showcases the top motocross and ATV riders in North America.
This year's Montréal Supercross will be remembered for two reasons. Roy, a five-time Canadian Moto-X champion from Acton Vale, QC, made his final competitive appearance at the event, as the rider chose to say goodbye to his fans at the Montreal Supercross, where he has been extremely successful throughout his career. Roy concluded his career with a spectacular top class MX1 win over 24 other competitors on a night where he was also honored by the event's organizers.
In addition, the freestyle competition featured international rising star Thomas Pagès of France, who made his Canadian debut at the Montréal Supercross. The 23-year-old Pagès entertained the 40,000 spectators in attendance with spectacular jumps to decisively win the contest.
