Bel-Ray Race Report-Oakland Supercross-

The 4th round of the Monster Energy Supercross series took place on Saturday night January 22nd in the Oakland Coliseum.

The Bel-Ray backed teams of Two Two Motorsports and Dodge/ Hart & Huntington Racing were both in attendance, looking to improve on their prior week’s performance.

Timed qualifying started off well on the technical track with Two Two Motorsports Chad Reed setting the 9th fastest time with a 46.314, followed by Dodge / Hart and Huntington teammates Ivan Tedesco in 14th with a 47.435 and Chris Blose in 15th with a 47.645.

After crashing hard in the whoops during timed qualifying, Tedesco was questionable for the evening program. The gritty veteran fought through the pain of an injured back in the first heat race to take 9th place and a spot on the gate for the evenings’ final. The second heat saw Reed take 2nd while Blose suffered a crash early and could only work up to 11th, just out of qualifying range. Blose would get his spot into the main event in the last chance qualifier. He grabbed the holeshot and led wire to wire for the victory and spot on the gate.

The main event began with Reed getting the good start he’s been looking for so far this season, while Blose and Tedesco were around midpack in this talented field.  Reed had the break out ride he’s been looking for this season and battled both Ryan Dungey and Ryan Villopoto throughout the main event, eventually settling into 3rd for much of the race. But he was not to be denied. Closing on Dungey in the final laps, Reed went for the last lap, last corner pass and made it stick, grabbing second place for the night.  Tedesco would soldier on to take 9th and Blose 10th at the end of the main event.

The season points standing now have Reed in 5th, Tedesco in 11th and Blose in 15th. Congratulations to all three riders on their outstanding performance this past weekend.

The series heads back south this weekend for round 5 in Anaheim, California.

Bel-Ray will be posting updates Saturday night from the upcoming Anaheim 2  round on their Twitter Feed and Facebook page as well as their website www.belray.com .

DUNGEY TAKES 3RD WIN IN A ROW AT BUDDS CREEK

DUNGEY TAKES 3RD WIN IN A ROW AT BUDDS CREEK


Team Suzuki Press Office - June 22.
Rockstar Makita Suzuki's Ryan Dungey won his third overall in a row at round four of the AMA Motocross Championship at Budds Creek at the weekend and opened up his Championship lead to 36 points.

"It was a good weekend for us," Dungey said. "I felt strong in both motos and the whole Rockstar Makita Suzuki team has really put together a great race bike. We just need to focus on the next race and keep plugging away."

In Moto 1, Dungey fought his way into second after a sixth-place start and was making some good moves to secure the lead when he found himself off his bike. With the RM-Z450 still running and Dungey feeling strong, he remounted and focused on working his way towards the front. He realised his goggles were filled with dirt and he was forced to remove them mid race, but he soldiered on.

In Moto 2, Dungey got a great start and rode the first three laps in second. He kept looking for his chance to move into first, and with the unrelenting power of his RM-Z450, he soon found his way to the front of the pack. Dungey stayed in first place for the remainder of the moto, eventually taking the win. His 3-1 finishes gave him the best overall results of the day, putting him on top of the podium with his third overall win in a row.

Dungey's team mate Matt Moss was hoping that he'd be able to deliver solid results at Budds Creek and in Moto 1 he proved that he has been putting in a lot of practice track hours aboard his RM-Z450. With 2010 being his first year on the 450, and suffering an injury that sidelined his entire Supercross season, Moss has been steadily working his way up the rankings. He had a very strong showing in Moto 1 when he nearly broke the top 10, finishing 13th and fighting the entire moto. In the second moto, Moss battled his way to an 18th-place finish, which was good enough to put him in 16th place overall and his best finish of the season so far.

"Budds Creek was OK for me, though I wasn't very satisfied with my starts and position overall," Moss said. "Next weekend in Colorado, I'm going in there focused on getting in the top 10. I know I can do it."

Round 5 of the AMA Pro Motocross series takes place on June 26 at the Thunder Valley National in Lakewood, Colorado.

2. Andrew Short
3. Chad Reed

KTM Race Report...Budd's Creek

Courtesy of KTM Racing
Mechanicsville, MD – Jagermeister/KTM rider Mike Alessi finished 5th overall at the fourth round of the Lucas Oil AMA Motocross Championship Series.

Alessi had a decent start in the first moto coming around the first turn in 4th position. He quickly moved up to 2nd place and was able to maintain a quick pace behind leader Andrew Short. After a strong ride he was able to finish the moto in 2nd place, holding off a hard-charging Ryan Dungey who finished 3rd.

In the second 450 moto, Alessi had another good jump but went a little wide and came out of the first turn in about 5th position. Near the end of the first lap Alessi made contact with another rider while going for a pass which heavily damaged the front brake causing complete loss of his front brake system. Unfortunately, having no front brake caused Alessi to take wide lines to handle the track which caused his lap times to fall. He eventually salvaged a 12th place position. His 2-12 moto scores earned him 5th overall.

In the 250 class, FMF/KTM rider Tommy Searle had a mid-pack start in moto one and had to try and work his way up. He struggled to make up some time due to a nagging shoulder injury and eventually finished 12th.

At the start of the second 250 moto, Searle got a good jump out of the gate but was hit from behind which sent him sailing across the track into the repeater banner and dropped him to the tail end of the pack. As he picked up his pace and began to make some passes he came to the triple step-up and took a middle line between two riders. The rider on the outside squared up the next turn cutting into Searle’s line sending his handlebar into Searle’s already injured shoulder. The pain was too much to finish the race and Searle didn’t finish the moto. He will return to his home in Murrieta, CA for another MRI. It is undetermined if he will race the next round.

SALT LAKE CITY, UT (May 25, 2010) Rockwell Time Team riders had a great showing at the first round of the 2010 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship Series this past weekend at the Hangtown Motocross Classic.  Crowds packed in to witness the start of another great season of rubbin’ and racing.  Mike Alessi proved that his new 350 SX-F has the ponies to run with the 450’s and used his new ride to grab the win in the second 450 moto.  The win coupled with his third place finish in the first moto gave Alessi second overall for the day; putting Alessi one spot behind 2009 Champ Chad Reed.  Fellow Rockwell Team rider Davi Millsaps also proved that he will be a serious threat this season and ran up front in both 450 motos.  Davi’s 3-2 moto scores earned him third overall. 
Rockwell Time Lites riders Jake Weimer, Justin Barcia, and Broc Tickle all put in some great rides at Hangtown.  Although Weimer planned to be on the box, his 4-8 moto scores were impressive against the stacked 250 field and he finished the day with a fourth overall.  Justin Barcia took the fifth spot with 5-7 moto scores and Broc Tickle ended his day 7^th overall with 11-5 moto scores.

Yoshimura Podiums in Two Classes at Hangtown

Courtesy of Yoshimura
Chino, Calif. – Yoshimura riders were on the podium in both classes they competed in on Saturday at the first round of AMA Motocross racing at Hangtown in Rancho Cordova, California. Davi Millsaps made his intentions of being a contender in the 2010 season known as he put himself on the podium in each moto and rode to a third-place overall finish in the hotly contested 450 class. Ashley Fiolek, the defending Women’s Class Champion, was on the podium after both motos and finished third overall in the Women’s class.

Davi Millsaps shot out from the start and settled into second place in Moto 1 of the 450 class. He stayed up front for the entire race, slipping to third just before the checkered flag. His Yoshimura-powered Honda CRF450 had plenty of power on the track’s elevation changes and worked well throughout the moto. Moto 1 didn’t go as easily for Yoshimura’s Ryan Dungey and Andrew Short, though. Short fell near the start of the race and worked his way back up from last place to finish 15th. Dungey also had a rough start and stalled his bike, working his way up from near 20th place to finish in 10th. Matt Moss, in his U.S. racing debut, had some issues as well in Moto 1. Moss missed the entire Supercross season due to injuries sustained at the end of last year, and he has not fully recovered. He finished Moto 1 in 27th place.

In Moto 2 of the 450 class, Millsaps again had plenty of power and pull, putting himself near the front of the pack. His bike kept the other racers at bay and Millsaps cruised across the finish line in second place. He landed on the podium after all the points were tallied with his 3-2 finishes, putting him in third overall. Andrew Short had a better time in Moto 2 and came across the finish in fifth place, with Ryan Dungey right behind him in sixth. Short ended his day in 10th overall, and Dungey ended up 8th overall. Moss had a run-in with another rider in the second moto and finished the day in 33rd place overall.

In the Women’s Class, Ashley Fiolek came out of the starting gate ready to race. She took third in Moto 1 against a class of very talented female racers. In the second moto, Fiolek improved her results by taking second in the race and ended up third overall for the day.

2010 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship Kicks Off This Weekend

Image via Wikipedia

Courtesy of MX Sports

MORGANTOWN, W.V. (May 19, 2010) - The long-awaited 2010 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship is quickly descending on the dirt-bike racing world. Just two weeks following the conclusion of an exciting season of AMA Supercross competition, the world's best riders return to the track for their annual summer-long test of endurance and physical challenges. This Saturday, May 22, the Rockstar Energy Hangtown Classic makes its return as the season-opening round of the 12-race championship.

450 Class

Monster Energy Kawasaki?Defending premier 450 Class champion Chad Reed enters the 2010 season with a new team, Monster Energy Kawasaki, the new role of father, and a fresh outlook on the rest of the year after sitting out the majority of the supercross season due to injury. One year ago, the Aussie was undoubtedly the busiest rider in the entire industry, competing throughout the majority of the entire 2009 calendar year. While his injury during supercross was a disappointment for Reed, his team and the fans, it served as a blessing in disguise and now the most successful international competitor in the sport's history will attack the outdoors unlike ever before in a quest to defend his crown. Veteran Nick Wey will join Reed this season under the Kawasaki tent, taking the vacant spot left by Ryan Villopoto. For Wey, this opportunity is the chance of a lifetime and he's excited about the upcoming season.

"My supercross season didn't go as planned," said Reed. "But now I'm healthy and focused on defending this title. We had some good tests this past month and I'm ready to get back on the top step of the podium."

"Being a part of the Monster Energy Kawasaki team is great," said Wey. "Ryan is a good friend of mine and this isn't how I wanted to get this ride, but I'm going to go out there and ride as best as I can. I think we have the speed to be competitive this year."

Rockstar/Makita Suzuki?Over at Reed's former team, Rockstar/Makita Suzuki, the smiles continue from where they left off in 2009. After sweeping both the 450 and 250 class championships one year ago, the Roger DeCoster-led team kept up the momentum by capturing the 2010 AMA Supercross title with its newest rider Ryan Dungey. The Minnesota native's move into the premier division of the sport has been smoother than many anticipated and he appears to be naturally suited for the more powerful 450cc machine. In his first ever competition aboard the big bike outdoors, Dungey led Team USA to a Motocross of Nations victory this past October, grabbing the MX1 individual overall title in the process. He hopes that success translates over to this summer and after claiming the 250 Class title last season, in addition to being just the second rookie in history to grab the premier supercross championship, there is little reason to think he doesn't have a chance to become the first rookie in history to sweep the year's championships.

"I've been doing a lot of testing for outdoors, and I feel good," said Dungey. "The team has been working really hard to get the bike dialed in, and I'm excited to get out there and race. It's a whole new series and injured riders are returning, and I'm really looking forward to racing everyone."

Also making his long-awaited debut for the Rockstar/Makita Suzuki team is Australian rookie Matt Moss. An impressive Australasian Supercross Lites championship resulted in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the young rider in America, but injuries have left him on the outside looking in so far. He will line up on the gate this Saturday for his U.S. debut and could be one of the many surprises this summer.

Honda Red Bull Racing?Honda Red Bull Racing will attack the 450 Class championship with a two-rider lineup. Perennial front-runner Andrew Short is still in search of that elusive first career victory, but after an injury allowed the busiest rider in the sport a chance at some time away from competition during supercross, he enters the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship fresh and rejuvenated and hungrier than ever to not only capture that inaugural win, but make a run towards the championship as well.

"I really want to take my outdoor racing to the next level and win in 2010," said Short. "I'm known for always being right there in the mix, vying for the top spot, but I'm determined to step it up and see Honda Red Bull Racing on the top step of the podium more often this year."

An up and down supercross season left Davi Millsaps yearning for more. Despite capturing a victory this winter, Millsaps couldn't find the consistency he was hoping for, but still was able to finish on the championship podium in third by season's end. While motocross and Millsaps haven't had the best relationship in past years, the Georgia native looks at the 2010 season as his opportunity to break through and become the regular challenger many hope he can be.

"I'm feeling really good heading into the outdoor series this weekend at Hangtown," said Millsaps. "There's not much of a break between the supercross series and start of the motocross championship, but I'm confident I can do well this season. Last year I struggled with injuries but still managed to grab a win on my Honda Red Bull Racing CRF450R."

Jagermeister KTM?Mike Alessi's anticipated return to Jagermeister KTM this season will be one of the most followed storylines in 2010. The two-time winner from 2009 will debut the innovative 350cc machine at Hangtown this Saturday and many are curious as to how the bike will stand up against the larger 450cc bikes. After emerging as one of the fastest riders in the series over the last two seasons, there is no doubt Alessi has the talent to make the bike succeed. However, after season-ending injuries have put him on the sidelines early over the last couple years, he is determined to stay healthy and claim a championship he feels could be his to lose.

"We have the bike pretty much dialed in and are very excited about racing it for the first time in the U.S.," said Alessi. "The 350 SX-F has been working really well for me in practice and I can't wait to show everyone how it performs at the track."

Muscle Milk/Toyota/JGR?Muscle Milk/Toyota/Joe Gibbs Racing enter the outdoor nationals with two of the youngest and most talented riders in the field. Josh Grant was able to break through with his first career victory last season, but suffered a year-ending injury as the championship headed to the home stretch. After sitting out the entire supercross series, he is back and better than ever and looks to add to the championship mix. For teammate Justin Brayton, 2009 ended on a high note when he claimed his first career moto win. His transition to JGR has been smooth and he has more confidence than ever coming into the nationals.

250 Class

Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki?The 250 Class will welcome a new champion for the 2010 season as reigning champion Dungey has moved on into the premier class. Headlining the list of championship favorites are a pair of Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki riders in Christophe Pourcel and Jake Weimer. Pourcel was the antagonist to Dungey's championship run last season and turned a lot of heads in his first full season on American soil. Add to the fact that the Frenchman is fresh off a AMA Supercross Lites Eastern Regional title and you have a target for all riders to go for this summer. For Weimer, 2009 was a breakout year in which he captured his first three motocross victories. He carried over the increased confidence to supercross where he was almost flawless en route to a Western Regional title and Las Vegas Shootout win.

"Last year I won some races and this year my goal is the title," said Weimer. "There are a lot of good riders out there and even the competition under our tent is going to be tough. I'm just going to go out and relax and try and get as many points as I can each moto."

In addition to Pourcel and Weimer, Tyla Rattray looks to continue his adjustment to American motocross. The former MX2 World Champion showed he has what it takes to run at the front last season, but he took time to adjust to the different tracks and different format of the nationals. With the experience in tow, he feels ready to take his riding to the next level. After a stellar close to his amateur career in 2009, reigning Horizon Award winner Dean Wilson makes his professional debut outdoors. The Scottish-born Canadian was fun to watch during supercross and gained considerable experience at the front of the pack. Now he transitions to an environment he is much more comfortable with and could turn some heads.

Rockstar/Makita Suzuki?After winning the title last season, Rockstar/Makita Suzuki returns with a new face to continue the tradition. After spending some time at the rival Pro Circuit stable, Austin Stroupe has done his best to take advantage of a golden opportunity at Suzuki. The program is a proven winner and Stroupe has shown stellar speed on the bike. After sitting out the final rounds of supercross with injury, he is 100% and ready to reclaim the magic that brought him his first career motocross victory in 2008 and keep the number one plate at Suzuki.

"Hopefully we can start off in motocross where we left off in supercross," said Team Manager Roger DeCoster. "If Ryan can be consistent as he was in supercross and can get good starts and be aggressive enough on the track, we'll have a good outdoors season. It will be good to get out there and see how Ryan does, and also Matt since we haven't gotten to watch him in a race in the U.S. yet. And hopefully Stroupe will come back as strong as he was in the supercross series, because he was very consistent and getting good finishes."

GEICO Powersports Honda?Like last year, the GEICO Powersports Honda team is loaded with young talent. While veteran Brett Metcalfe moves on to the 450 Class, a fast foursome of riders are prepared to attack the track this summer. Trey Canard leads the way as the most experienced rider on the team. He was a regular at the front of the field last season before bowing out with an injury and many feel it is only a matter of time before he breaks through. Justin Barcia was the surprise of the outdoor nationals in 2009, grabbing an impressive victory and Rookie of the Year honors along the way. So far he has lived up to expectation and is primed to take the next step to championship contender. Blake Wharton continues to develop at the pro level. The Texas native is undeniably quick, but he has had trouble finding the consistency needed to be there each and every week. With a full year under his belt, he should be ready to move forward. The newest member of the squad is amateur sensation Eli Tomac. The GEICO Powersports team has groomed Tomac to be its next big star and now the time has come for him to prove what he's capable of. In a story that plays out strikingly similar to Barcia's, it will be intriguing to see how he performs.

"Motocross racing is a very different beast compared to supercross racing," said Canard. "Motocross is all about endurance and stamina. It's a long season of back-to-back racing so you need to be consistent and stay healthy if you want to be up there in points going for the title. The GEICO Powersports Honda team does an awesome job preparing my race bike and I'm confident we'll have a great motocross season."

"I love racing outdoors so I'm ready to get this season started," said Barcia. "For the first time since turning pro last year, I will know the tracks I'm racing on. It's been a year of going to new places each and very week so being familiar with the tracks is definitely a big help. I finished on the podium nine times last year and won at Southwick, which was great for my rookie season. My goal for this season is to keep winning."

"I spent the last week in California testing with the team and I'm feeling on top of the world going into Hangtown this weekend," said Wharton. "My goal this season is to be in the top three every weekend, ultimately winning races. I want to improve on my eighth overall in the championship last year. With Tomac joining Barcia, Canard and I on the GEICO Powersports Honda team in the 250 class, it's like we're back racing in the amateur days only the competition is a lot tougher!"

"I'm really excited to make my professional debut with the GEICO Powersports Honda team at Hangtown this weekend," said Tomac. "I've worked really hard and tested with the team a lot in the lead-up to the first race. I've had a lot of success riding the CRF250R in the amateur ranks, so it definitely helps my confidence to ride the bike I know I can win on. I've grown up around and at times raced against some of my teammates in the amateur ranks -Justin Barcia, Blake Wharton and Trey Canard-so it's good to be on a team with familiar faces."

FMF/KTM?Team FMF/KTM rider Tommy Searle also performed well during his first season on American soil. The British rider was a podium finisher on a few occasions and appeared to get more comfortable as the season moved forward. Like his international counterparts, the familiarity he has with the tracks will play into his favor this season and will surely lead to a regular appearance at the front of the field.

"I have been working really hard after my injury at the beginning of the supercross series," said Searle. "My goal is to finish on the podium at each race and I feel I am ready to do so at Hangtown."

DNA Shred Stix/Star Yamaha?The DNA Shred Sitx/Star Yamaha team brings four riders into the mix for 2010 - Nico Izzi, Martin Davalos, Broc Tickle and Max Anstie. For Izzi, Davalos and Tickle, their experience will be key to running up front on a consistent basis. Each rider has taken their spots in the lead pack on several occasions and will look to use that to their advantage throughout the season. Tickle's first career professional victory in supercross is a surefire confidence booster and he will look to carry the momentum into the nationals. For Anstie, his rookie season was a mixed bag. He showed signs of speed, but didn't possess the all important consistency. As one of the youngest riders in the field, his results are impressive and he hopes to turn some heads throughout the 12 rounds.
