The Great Annual Fall Extravaganza on Saturday October 3 at the Olympic Stadium
“The layouts will be quite demanding for all riders, and that should please the crowd as it will
surely tighten up the field and set up close competition among the riders at different
portions of the track,” said Pierre Corbeil, promoter of the event. “Fans will also get an eyeful
from the MX and ATV riders entering the funnel-shape straight that leads from the starting
gate to the first of the three hairpin turns. For EnduroCross riders, a combination of tight
turns and gnarly obstacles will require a high level of mental focus. As for the Freestyle
contest, it will be our most spectacular in years with three jump ramps and three stunt flying
zones.”
Pierre Corbeil admits that the design of the 2009 track layouts is a collective work. Jean-
Sébastien Roy, the newly appointed technical director of the Montreal Supermotocross,
worked closely with renowned motocross track designer Maxime Sylvestre on the MX and
ATV track designs. As for the EnduroCross section, the contribution of Jimmy Bérard from
Granby, Quebec was essential in mapping out the course. Finally, the promoter made sure
that the Freestyle ramp layout, set among all the other tracks, is to be world class.
“Once more, our overall layout will offer fans, regardless of where they are sitting, a splendid
view of the on-track action of every corner of the Stadium surface. Our goal remains the
same year after year: to make sure that fans go home after the show, knowing that they did
not miss a moment of the thrilling race action,” concluded Pierre Corbeil.
