In the long history of off-season, overseas supercross, the Paris-Bercy event stands out as the grandest of all. From spectacular opening ceremonies to crazy freestyle demos, and great racing from big stars, this event lives up to its marketing tagline, which promises a 200% show.
But within the show, it's a race, too, and we've got all the results right here courtesy of our friend Xavier Audouard. Take a stroll through for this week's edition of Bench Racing Ammo.
