Frenchman Marvin Musquin is getting in some smooth laps on the supercross practice track as he looks towards the 2021 season in the United States.
The two-time former MX2 world champion (in 2009 and 2010) missed the AMA supercross season in 2020 due to a knee injury, but he is ready to take another shot at the US supercross title that he so covets.
This video shows Musquin getting some laps down at the KTM Supercross test track in Southern California.
Musquin competed in the Motocross World Championships between 2004 to 2010 and has competed in the AMA Motocross and Supercross Championships since 2011.
He finished the 2013 AMA motocross season in third place overall. In 2014 he won the first Red Bull Straight Rhythm in the 250cc class. In 2015 he won the East Coast Supercross 250MX class Championship.
Musquin was also a member of the victorious French 2015 Motocross des Nations team that included Gautier Paulin and Romain Febvre.
In 2016, Musquin finished third behind Ken Roczen and Eli Tomac in the AMA pro Motocross championship. In 2017, he finished second 17 points behind Tomac in the Motocross Championship. He finished 2nd, 9 points behind Jason Anderson, in the 2018 Monster Energy AMA 450 Supercross Championships.
Houston is set to host round one of the 2021 Supercross season on January 16, 2021, and riders are full steam ahead in their preparation to fight for a championship.
