2024 PARIS SUPERCROSS | COMPLETE COVERAGE

Offseason overseas Supercross events are a challenge for mechanics, as they’re the ones that have to make sure everything about the weekend’s program is a close to normal for the rider as possible. We asked five wrenches what they did to get ready for the Paris Supercross and it was a little different for everyone, since some built entire race bikes and shipped them over weeks ahead of time while others put the necessary parts in a suitcase and bolted them on to a borrowed motorcycle.

Hear from Alex Campbell (Cooper Webb), Richard Sterling (Tom Vialle), Dalen Vernazza (Dylan Ferrandis), Christien Ducharme (Jett Lawrence), and Ben Griffith (Jo Shimoda) about what they made sure was in their tool boxes and checked bags before coming to France, as well as the importance of this race ahead of 2025.
