Reed thus won the overall crown by 8 points from Langston, with Short a further five points back after his 4-2-3 results. However, in the teams' classification, Short led Team USA to a 3 point victory over home nation France, although the 'rest of the world' also scored seven points.

"I couldn't have expected a better result for my comeback in Bercy, and I'm so happy to win this race," said Reed, a former AMA Supercross champion. "During the three nights I had to battle hard with Grant Langston and Andrew Short, and it was good preparation for next season. The crowd was amazing, as always in Bercy, and I had good time here in Paris."
AMA legend Jeremy McGrath, who came out of retirement to replace an ill Ricky Carmichael, got some good starts on his way to a best finish of fifth.
