Laninovich was joined by fellow Team AMSOIL rider Marco Dubé in Bercy.  Dubé had a goal to be in the top five against some of the world’s best 125 riders.  After he pulled a muscle in practice, Dubé struggled to find his grove all weekend long. Dubé missed both finals on Friday and Saturday by one spot.  He redeemed himself on Sunday, making it into the main.  The troubles continued at the start, where he got stuck in the gate.  He was able to work his way up to 12th by the time the checkered flag dropped. Dubé’s next race will be in Belfast, Ireland before he heads back to Canada for the Toronto Supercross. Changing Seasons The race seasons are slowly changing from summer and motocross, etc., to winter and snocross. That means most of the corporately sponsored teams are on standby for a few weeks.  If you are an AMSOIL Dealer and are looking to sponsor a local racer through the AMSOIL Co-op Race Program, please fill out the G-2074 and send it to me.  Teams who were sponsored last year will need to fill out the form once again.  Thank you all and good luck.
