James Victorious at Night One of Bercy SX
Relaxed and smiling when he arrived in the Palais Omnisports in Paris, France, the reigning World SX Champion took his time to find the good rhythm on the tight course, but once he did, it was game on for Stewart. James won the first night of the fabled Bercy Supercross with ease, besting fellow American Justin Brayton, who finished second, and Greg Aranda, who was third.
“The atmosphere is always great here, and I’m happy to be back. The fans were nice to me, and it took me some time to feel comfortable, but I did it and won all the races” said James after the main event. Stewart was leading when the race director put the red flag out following a bad crash by Steve Boniface, but a few minutes later James got another holeshot to win the last race. Always fast in Bercy, Brayton finished three times runner-up and scored a second position overall, followed by the ‘Frenchies.’
