Press release Sunday 10th November 2007 By Pascal Haudiquert

During the first night of the 25th edition of the Paris Bercy Supercross, the stars of the US series dominate the event as nobody, except Frenchman Benjamin Coisy, was able to battle with Chad Reed and Grant Langston. Winner of the ‘tournament’ and the last race, Chad just missed a good start in the first final to have a perfect night, as he came back second behind Grant Langston.

It was a great come back for the Australian rider who did his third appearance in the French stadium and was celebrated by the fans. Reed won the overall tonight followed by Langston who scored three podiums with a win, a second and a third place in the last heat.

Dominating the French SX Tour since several years, Coisy was consistant during the entire night and got his first podium in Bercy with a third place overall; third, fourth and second, he was the best Frenchie and beat Americans Andrew Short and Jeremy Mac Grath.
