A Monday at house…I don’t know what to do with myself! Let’s begin this Monday Morning Espresso out with a have a look at how our two Canadians racing the Houston Supercross did Saturday evening. Emily has headed out for some kick boxing with the woman throughout the road for the primary time. I’m certain she’ll be completely happy to listen to that I discussed that in my first paragraph this morning. Haha.
#83 Cole Thompson lined up at NRG Stadium within the 450 class on his Staff Solitaire Heartbeat Sizzling Sauce Yamaha 250. He drove from the final spherical within the West to stick with Chloe’s household close to Decatur, TX and headed right down to Houston to race the 450 class.
I feel I communicate for all of us once I say I’d prefer to see what he can do in a full 450 SX collection on a 450. Cole rides the large bike so easily and effortlessly that he would do very nicely in a full season in opposition to one of the best on this planet.
He really certified twentieth this weekend which is identical place he did on the first 2 rounds of 250 West. He was under-powered off the begins, in fact, however seemed good on the market and completed eleventh in Warmth 1. He needed to combat his method ahead, made a pair passes, however was headed to the LCQ.
#551 Guillaume St Cyr hit his first spherical of the 2023 season on his KTM 350. ‘Guac’ stored issues attention-grabbing and tense and certified thirty ninth to move to the evening present.
He was in 450 Warmth 2 and located himself behind the pack early on this one. He crossed the road in seventeenth and was additionally headed for the LCQ.
Within the Final Likelihood Qualifier, each Canadians discovered themselves outdoors the highest 15 early and had been in robust to make it to the Fundamental at this spherical. CT was fifteenth on lap 1 and GSC was seventeenth.
Cole sliced by the pack fairly nicely and ended up sixth on the flag (high 4 transfer to the Fundamental). Guillaume would end this one in 18th place.
We’ve bought a podcast interview scheduled with Guillaume for at the moment, so we’ll get all the main points on how his first race of the season went for the rider from Quebec.
