Plessinger - Southwick and Paris
Red Bull KTM Factory Racing 450MX contender Aaron Plessinger's is heading to Paris in the winter (as he mentions in this video), but first, his Southwick National began with him setting the 10th fastest time in qualifying, before finishing fourth place in moto one and then Moto 2 saw Plessinger in the mix with the front-runners, holding strong in P4 before a fall cost him energy in the latter stages of the race, with ‘The Cowboy’ finishing in eighth position and being credited P7 overall for the round. With five rounds completed, AP sits fourth in the 450MX standings.
“I struggled at Southwick from the beginning today, but I did get off to an awesome start in Moto 1. I was right toward the front and then I started losing the tow, so finished P4 in that one. In the second moto, I was in a good spot again, but then a small mistake ended with me on the ground. My energy went away with that crash, so I did what I could for eighth. We finished seventh overall, with this being my first time out of the top-five this season. We’ll regroup, rest up, do our homework, and come out swinging at RedBud!"
The contract is signed, after Cooper Webb, Jett and Hunter Lawrence, Aaron Plessinger will be behind the grid of the 42e Paris Supercross. The most famous "Cowboy" on the planet SX has decided to perform in the Capital, for the very first time in his career. The official KTM Red Bull rider is happy and ready to give it his all. On November 15 and 16, AP7 will unleash the Défense Arena in Paris, hihaaaaaaaaa!
"Hi friends, how are you! I have big news... I'm super excited to announce that the Cowboy will be in Paris next November. It's so cool, it will be a first for me. I've never ridden there, just once in France for the MXDN in Ernée. I'm hot to come and fight, handlebar to handlebar with Cooper Webb, the Lawrence brothers and all the others. See you there, it's going to be crazy!"
