Rock River Yamaha WMX Report

Courtesy of Rock River Yamaha

Jefferson, WI – The Rock River Yamaha team made their way to Sacramento, CA with two of the fastest women’s motocross racers in the world for the Red Bull Hangtown Motocross Classic. Both racers have traveled to the United States with the hopes of finding success in the Lucas Oil Professional Motocross series with the support of the Rock River program behind them. Courtney Duncan and Mackenzie Tricker turned heads in the first round of the WMX Triple Crown with impressive finishes as newcomers to the WMX series.
New Zealand native, Courtney Duncan set the bar high with impressive lap times in qualifying. Her best lap time of a 2:13 was almost four seconds faster than the rest of her competition allowing her to feel confident heading into the first moto. As the day progressed and the track conditions became rougher, lap times were not as fast as they were earlier in the day, but Duncan maintained consistency allowing her to be a front runner in both motos. In the first moto, Duncan made her way past Sayaka Kaneshiro and Mackenzie Tricker to take over the lead, where she would stay for the remainder of the moto. She dominated the first moto as she gapped the rest of the women and finished with a substantial lead over second place, Sayaka Kaneshiro of Japan. In moto two, Duncan was faced with passing Kaneshiro and six-time WMX champion Jessica Paterson. Duncan made the passes and took the win in moto 2. She finished 1-1 for the first round of the three round WMX series. The 17-year-old Rock River Yamaha rider made a bold statement winning both motos aboard her YZ125 and beating some of the fastest girls in the sport in her WMX debut.

• 

Mackenzie Tricker of Australia also took home valuable championship points to go along with the various amateur national titles she has collected since coming to the States. She was able to get out front early in the first moto as she grabbed the holeshot and lead the pack of talented female riders. Tricker finished the moto in third after a long battle with Kaneshiro. In moto two she was able to stay towards the front of the pack and finish sixth. With the third and sixth place finish aboard her Rock River backed Yamaha, Tricker leaves the first round of the WMX Triple Crown with a fourth overall.
The Rock River riders proved to be tough competition as new additions to WMX. Round two of the WMX Triple Crown will be held at the High Point National in Mt. Morris, PA on June 8.
Rock River would like to thank the team sponsors for their support throughout the 2013 season:  JT RACING, YAMAHA RACING, GYTR, YAMALUBE, ROOSTMX, FMF, K&N, XTRIG, MOTOSTAR, MATRIX, DUNLOP, RACE TECH, RENEGADE, ODI grips, FRITH CO., VERTEX, BELL, LIFT MASTER, MOTO TASSINARI, MILLENIUM CONCEPTS, CYCRA, VORTEX, GUTS, EVS, BOYESEN, JETT BOOTS, PEGARMOR.

About the Rock River Racing Program:
The premise behind program is to support riders from their PW50 years through their 450 Supercross years.  Rock River's program does not focus on 1 rider, though winning a title would be a dream for the team, they are more interested in helping young talent step into the professional ranks and make a career out of racing.  They often refer to themselves as a stepping-stone, and while that may be true, the list of Rock River Alumni is long and strong in terms of talent.  Their team structure is set up for consistency throughout both the amateur and pro program.  For more information, please visit: http://www.rockriverracing.com/home

Bel-Ray Racers Sipes and Anderson Earn Top 10 Overalls at Hangtown

Courtesy of Bel-Ray

FARMINGDALE, N.J. (May 20, 2013) ― The 2013 AMA National Motocross Series began this weekend in Sacramento, CA at the Red Bull Hangtown Classic. Following a grueling Monster Energy Supercross series that saw racers crisscross the country for 17 rounds in 18 weekends, the racers are enjoying a one-week break before the outdoor racing begins. The 12-round outdoor series begins in northern California in May and ends in Southern California in August, stopping in 10 additional states along the way. Bel-Ray racers are represented in both the 250MX and 450MX classes during the year.

In 450MX class racing, Bel-Ray sponsored Rockstar Energy Racing’s Ryan Sipes took advantage of his new move to the 450 class with an excellent 6th place overall following 8-7 moto finishes. Sipes raced the 250 class during the Supercross season, but he made the move to the 450 class after teammate Davi Millsaps was forced to have season ending surgery on an injured leg. Millsaps will rehab during the summer in preparation of defending his second place Supercross series finish. In addition to Sipes, Bel-Ray privateers Derek Anderson and Lowell Spangler qualified for the 40-man final motos. Anderson’s 27th overall came from 38-23 moto finishes. Anderson’s first moto was cut short after a flying rock cut his face, and he was forced to pull out. He received stitches in between the motos and soldiered back for a strong second moto. Spangler took the long trip from his Pennsylvania home to compete against the best in the county, and his 26-28 moto scores earned him 30th overall for the day.

In 250MX class racing, all three Rockstar Energy team members scored top 20 moto results, with Jason Anderson leading the way. Anderson finished 12th in the first moto and backed it up with a strong 6th in the second moto for a 7th place overall finish. Teammate Blake Wharton overcame a 17th place first moto to finish 10th in moto 2 for 13th overall. Despite missing the entire Supercross season due to injury, Nico Izzi came out swinging at Hangtown. He finished 22-16 for 21st overall, a score that is sure to improve as the series proceeds.

Bel-Ray Racers Searle and Lupino Score Top 10 Finishes in Portugal MXGP

Grand Prix rookie Decotis earns first grand prix points.

FARMINGDALE, N.J. (May 20, 2013) ― The 2013 FIM World Championship series continued at the Beto Carrero circuit in Brazil for the 7th round of the 17 race series. Bel-Ray sponsored Team CLS Kawasaki racers Tommy Searle, Alessandro Lupino, and Jimmy Decotis all came to Brazil looking for top finishes in their races.

Despite being unable to train due to an injured finger suffered during the previous round, MX1 competitor Tommy Searle gutted out determined races throughout the event. His eighth place finish in moto one was backed up with a ninth place in the events Super Final. “I struggled all weekend with my broken finger,” said Searle following the Super Final race. “I couldn’t ride since Portugal. Before I got here, I did not think that it would make such a difference! I’m weak in my shoulders, and I got tired. In the MX1 race, I had a good start. On the second lap, I crashed and lost many positions. It’s good that we now have two weekends free; I need to recover and then get back on the bike to be ready for France. I know that my speed is OK. I just need to be fit again.” Searle is currently in sixth place in the series standings.

Team CLS Kawasaki fields two Bel-Ray powered racers in the MX2 class. Both team racers Alessandro Lupino and Jimmy Decotis scored points in this highly competitive class. Despite suffering from broken ribs suffered in a crash in the Italian round of the series, Lupino showed grit and determination, scoring an excellent top 10 finish with an 10th place finish. He backed this up with a strong ride in the Super Final. This race includes the top racers from each the MX1 and MX2 class, with the MX2 riders at a noticeable power disadvantage. Despite this, Lupino finished in 20th place in the moto and 7th in his class. Lupino spoke about his struggles following the Super Final. “Since I broke two ribs at the Italian GP, I haven’t been able to train normally. A s a result, my physical condition is not at its best. So here in Brazil, it was not a good weekend for me. In the MX2 race, I already got an arm pump after two laps. In the Super Final, I lost time when (Mel) Pocock crashed in front of me at the second corner. I now have three weeks to recover, and I will go to Holland to train. We are nearly at the halfway point of the season, and I want to race in the top five in France to give the team the results they expect.” Lupino is currently in 9th place in the series standings.

Lupino’s teammate, Jimmy Decotis, scored the 1st world championship points of his career with a 17th place 1st moto finish. The Brazil event marked only the third world championship race for the young American racer. Admittedly still adapting to the pace of GP racing, Decotis will use the upcoming break to increase his endurance in advance of the next grand prix. “This is definitively a crazy place with such great fans. The track was one of the better ones that I have faced since I started racing the GPs, and I feel that I have made progress since Portugal,”said Decotis. Everyone is working hard to achieve this, and I scored points in both races here. My speed is better, but I still need to improve my fitness so that I can keep the pace for the en tire 40 minutes. I’m sure it will come soon.”

All three Team CLS racers rely on Bel-Ray products to protect their machines and to perform at the highest level. The same products used by the team can be found on dealer shelves worldwide.

MX Royalty to Attend MX Rewind at Unadilla

Courtesy of MX Rewind

New Berlin, New York - Fifteen former racing legends, with countless International and National Motocross Championships to their names, have once again committed to attend and participate at MX Rewind at Unadilla, which is taking place June 14-16, 2013.
Returning to Unadilla will be a familiar voice who called all the races in the 1970s and 1980s ---- Larry Maiers. Maiers voice will once again be heard at Unadilla as he calls the races of the legends and lends his hand as Master of Ceremonies at the various bench racing sessions. Back on the bike, the racing legends will be led by "Bad Brad" Lackey, the first American to win a World Championship, Danny "The Door" LaPorte, who became the second American World Champion, and Trampas Parker, the third American to win a World Championship and the only one to do it twice. The list of legends is both long and distinguished and reads like a whose-who of Motocross.
Joining the three American World Champions will be Gary "The Professor" Bailey, John "The Flyin' Hawaiian" DeSoto, New Jersey's own Mickey Kessler, Warren Reid, Gary Semics, and New York's own Jimmy "The Jammer" Weinert (1974 and 1975 500cc National Champion).
From the more recent era of the 1980s and 1990s, we have Guy Cooper (1990 125cc National Champion), Ryan "Ryno" Hughes (1st place overall in the 125cc National at Unadilla in 1994 and 1995), Shaun Kalos, "The Dogger" Ron Lechien (a member of the winning U.S. team at the 1985 and 1988 MX des Nations and 1985 125cc National Champion, as well as winner of the 1984 USGP at Unadilla), Nate Ramsey, and Jeff Stanton (a member of the winning U.S. MX des Nations teams in 1989,1990, and 1991, 250cc National Champion in 1989, 1990, and 1992, and winner of the Unadilla 250cc USGP in 1990,1991, and 1992).
"We are once again very excited and amazed at the response of the legends to this event. To have this impressive and formidable list of former racers joining us for the second annual MX Rewind weekend is unbelievable', states Unadilla's Greg Robinson. "For those of us who grew up going to the track to watch these heroes back in the day, this is yet again a dream come true. The MX Rewind legends represent four decades of motocross racing history. To have America's three World Champions here together, and three members of winning American MX des Nations teams is simply unheard of. Last year the legends blew everyone away with their stories and willingness to autograph and bench race. This year will be no different. We can't wait to hear more racing stories. It is a wonderful opportunity for motocross fans young and old to hear from and celebrate this great sport of ours."
All of the legends will be in attendance from Friday through Sunday taking part in a variety of meet and greet opportunities, a Saturday and Sunday vintage and post vintage champions race, autograph sessions, and a Saturday night Dinner of Champions.
Advance sale tickets, camping passes, racing pre-entries, and event information can be found at www.mxrewind.com.
