soubeyrcross! :P
-
Sweet. :)
-
I would take that bike, that shirt hes wearing, and that helmet :P. Heck I'd take the stand that is holding his bike up! :P
-
sweet. Where can you get that shirt? The only think is i think a four stroke rider can wear it also lol.
Also is there a place to hear the interview he is giving or is that just for a mag?
-
Maybe u can get the shirt from here?

Looks like they are thinking:

Cédric is on my Facebook. I am french Canadian so I speak his native language without their silly accent! Cédric is a gentlemen, no cockiness whatsoever.. humble and shy. If I ask him a question he will answer kindly! Even if the guy is from France, he got his lid painted with the USA flag because the guy is so happy to go there! He is not the best at talking English but you guys hope will like him! SOubeyrcross! The video was shot by one of his buddy out there! The guy had previous experience on the YZ and trained on it the last couple weeks.. He will probably flying really soon to L.A. so he can get some saddle time on the MotoConcepts YZ.. Support him! The guy chose to stick with the YZ 2 stroke because it fits his riding style and smaller stature. Support 986! BRAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP! I just cannot believe that KTM USA never offered him support..Unbelievable?????
-
Thanks for the info 2smoker. Yea i definitely cant wait for pheonix cause i think he will really turn some heads on the yz250.
-
Awesome, hopefully the Phoenix track caters to the 2 stroke. Tight and technical.

Good starts will put him on the map! Going to be tough with the 250.
-
That bike is sick! Wow that makes me want another yz250
-
Is he racing next weekend? Sorry senior moment here lol
-
Yes he is!
-
Man, the dude is haulin on that YZ. I'm gettin goosebumps just watching that video.
-
needs a little more speed through the hoopties lol but his corner speed looks awesome!
-
speaking of that, did anyone else notice how the 450's almost stopped at A1 and turned, like they couldn't actually turn???
-

The track was very slick according to the rider interviews. Nobody wants to crash at A1.
-
Yeah, it sounded like the main like turned hard packed and slick, and then the lines that werent being used were really loose, so I understand why their corners werent as fast.
-
But when I ride now, I notice a severe outside line that is basically a nascar type rail that you have to follow. I think 2 strokes are more of a go where you wanna go bike. But guess we'll see next week.
-

Yea Jeff even commented during the main that Villopoto wasnt leaning the bike into the turns. Hopefully Phoenix will be smooth and tacky so Cedric can shine on that yz
-
I love watchin a good 250 rider square off a turn at full noise, i seen a vid of a few years ago where Chad came blazin across the whoops and nailed this lefty, virtually without backin off, would be great to se ridin like that again people dont do it on the pigs
-
It may take Soubeyras a little while to get the hang of it, but he should be able to take the fast lines regardless of the slickness of the track. Besides, he has nothing to lose and everything to gain. He will be going for it and getting better with every ride.
-
one thing i noticed last night that jeff emig said kind of confused me. There was that quad in the rhythm section and he said that in practice some guys on the 250f were throwing it but not in the race, then he goes on to say that they could never have jumped that in the 250 2 stroke days. I started to think aren't these guys the same idiots that said it wouldnt be fair to race 250 vs 250 i mean wtf, so a 250f can make it but a 250 2 stroke cant hmmm I bet with the right rider my 150 could make it. Careful ppl dont step in the bullshit. Go get em Ced!!!!!!
-
Emig doesn't even know what he's saying! What a goof! Jimmy DeCotis could probably have done it on his 125. He's only saying that to spice up the show. These guys should be saying how that the 250 2-stroke would probably have an advantage over the 4-strokes because they are lighter and fly farther.
-
I agree Jeff has no idea what he's talking about . He only had 36 wins and 4 titles on 2 strokes during his 10 year pro career ;)
I would like to see someone do that huge triple from the inside on a 250 2 stroke like the top guys were doing. It looked slick as crap, even Stewart cased the shit out of it once. I dont think all the race lines are going to suit Cedric, atleast at A1 they wouldnt have.
I hope Phoenix is tight, technical, and tacky....with a short start.
-
RC even backed Fro up on the comment. I think they are talking out their ass sometimes just to break the silence.
You can't tell me RC wouldn't have tried it on the 2 stroke.
-
I dunno man that was a leap....it looked easy on tv but the little bikes werent even jumping it. I know them Pro Circuit bikes are rumored to be 47-48hp.
If anybody would have done it though it would have been Carmichael :)

I think james stewart would easily be able to do it on a 250 smoker. Just look at this quad he tried to hit on a 125, and the crazy thing is that he usually makes this.
"Bubba" Stewart Quad CASE!!! OWWWW! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ri_0lHnx7tw#)
-
thats a 250 my brotha
-
I wish Cedric the best of luck! but after looking at the a1 450 race list its going to be hard to make the main.
1. Ryan Villopoto
2. Ryan Dungey
3. James Stewart
4. Trey Canard
5. Chad Reed
6. Kevin Windham
7. Ivan Tedesco
8. Brett Metcalfe
9. Joshua Grant
10. Andrew Short
11. Kyle Chisholm
12. Nick Wey
13. Kyle Regal
14. Mike Alessi
15. Jason Thomas
16. Justin Brayton
17. Chris Blose
18. Matt Boni
19. Davi Millsaps
20. Tommy Hahn
Only Thomas, Blose, and Boni aren't top guys on that main but they are still fast as hell. :o
-
I think he will have a better chance of making it out of the heat race then the lcq. A1's lcq was Canard and Nick Wey, behind him was a noticably better Jeff Alessi....all fast guys.
Hopefully he gets good start in his heat

Damn, it is a stacked class . Worst year I've ever seen to try and qualify.
-

yep i think you are right. Dang now i fill stupid. Whatever, i still think james could make it on a 250.
-
no doubt in my mind a 250 would make it. Dam that is such a stacked class, I honestly think its good cause if he does make it that even makes more of a statement and all the sheep out there can kill all our asses over here at tsm.com

He totally overshot the triple before the quad.. If you guys watched the last Supercross with Cedric he killed everyone in the whoops and corners but carried more speed and momentum between the jumps.. this is why he is a good 2 stroke rider..you can switch lines faster too..but the mistakes cost more against the 450 tractors..

I dunno about easy....I agree Stewart would have probably tryed it. It had to have been hard because only a few guys were jumping it in the first practice.
-
It is a very stacked class this year.
Cedric knows what he's getting in to, and is still very confident. :)
"Two Strokes are coming back" -Cedric
He knows what he can and can't do, and he is pure talent.
It would not surprise me at all to see him qualify. The boy can ride. :)

He only cased cause he got wheel spin.

Sounds like a bog before takeoff to me......
-
Sweet,I hope he qualifies and good for him for trying.On the other hand,it's a crying shame to ugly up a perfectly good YZ like that.If not for the lack of power,he'd be better off putting them on a TM and trying to qualify that :P

Seems ford's confused again.
I think you need to start taking your pill's again. ;D
-
I think this track is good for a first race. Hopefully it wont be slick like A1.
(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o234/scrubbin627/2PHX_TN.jpg)
-
Yeah, he should be able to ride those corners out faster than the 4's.
-
Agreed. I bet it sucks going through that sand whoop section with supercross suspension!

Those wide corners are perfect for a two stroke to rail
-
They will probably be flat and dry-slick..

I don't think this pic has been shown here? It's my new desktop! :P

Apparently the dirt is better than A1.. Good looking track for the 2 stroke..I cannot wait !

This may be true, but it helps to make up for "deficiencies" in other areas... :o

Careful,careful.We must not forget that there are young,inquisitive minds (Re.:Jetz) reading these forums. ::)

I just caught a blurb about Cedric and discovered that he had already raced AMA Supercross?!? In 2009 he finished 16th at A1, 8th at Phoenix on a YZ250F.
-
Yep, and he is much faster on a 250 2 Stroke. :)
-
True dat, I was just under the impression that this was his debut in AMA. Still a debut of sorts though.

Oh Yeah!

So what is the deal what's the update on Cedric? We heard so much and now that he is here I have heard zero except on thumpertalk they said matthis said they are stupid for trying to run the bike
Shouldn't we have a update or something here? I wonder how the bike is running and if he feels good on it
-

Maybe old news but I guess He has his own site.

As we speak Cedric is in Riverside County right now.. This is all I know..

From what we have seen in videos, bike is running crazy good, and Cedric is crazy fast on his friends YZ.

Cedric Soubeyras was a Yami 2 stroke rider for years.. Did the bike changed ? Nope! I don't know about Phoenix..but watch him go crazy for the next rounds..It would be interesting to watch for sure.. Also the guy never stopped racing last year and this year almost every week-ends... so he still in the loop!
-
Yeah matthes
