6. France: 47 points
Gautier Paulin (2nd Race 1, 8th Race 2)
Xavier Boog (10th Race 2, 16th Race 3)
Marvin Musquin (11th Race 2, 19th Race 1)
It was over when: Marvin Musquin failed to finish inside the top-10 in either of his motos.
Who Stepped Up: Gautier Paulin
Paulin not only showed his versatility at Lommel—he’s known as more of a hard packed rider—he’s begun to establish himself as France’s go-to-guy at the MXoN, after two moto wins in his past three appearances (2009 and 2011) and a second place finish to Cairoli in the first moto. A crash in the second moto hurt his chances for the overall, but Paulin has proven to be a contender on the world stage.
Who Disappointed: Marvin Musquin
Musquin, who won the MX2 Class at the MXoN in 2009 and helped lead France to the brink of their first title since 2001 a year ago, was arguably the biggest disappointment of the weekend. The two-time MX2 World Champion had lofty expectations entering the weekend after winning at Lommel in 2009 and finishing third in 2010 (in the MX2 Class). But his 11-19 moto scores left Musquin and France looking for more.
