We show that the cuspidal component of the stable trace formula of a special odd orthogonal group over a number field, satisfies a weak form of beyond endoscopic decomposition. We also study the r-stable trace formula, where r is the standard of the second fundamental representation of the dual group. The results are consequences of Arthur's works on endoscopic classification of automorphic representations, together with known results concerning a class of Langlands L-functions for special odd orthogonal groups.
