Motorcycle Superstore rider Webb crowned 'King of Motos' JOHNSON VALLEY, Calif. (Feb. 3) - Motorcycle Superstore rider Cody Webb gutted out a major extreme enduro victory Sunday by winning the 2013 King of Motos. The rising star showed veteran savvy, using a gentle touch on his bike as the race wound down in order to get it across the finish line first.

"It was hard and definitely difficult but luckily I came out on top," Webb said. "I had a second surge of energy late in the race. My closest competitor got a flat tire with about 20 miles to go, and that gave me the opening I needed.

"I had my bike geared for the desert so I passed him like he was standing still and didn't look back. I kept the throttle pegged trying to build the biggest gap I could. Next thing I knew my tire started getting wishy-washy but I knew the finish was pretty close. I pushed as far as I could, then babied it in from there. It held together for me."

Webb, an accomplished trials and endurocross rider, conquered the grueling 160-mile course through the Hammers in 4 hours, 50 minutes and 38 seconds. Second-place rider Graham Jarvis eventually crossed nearly half an hour later with a 5:17:29.

"This is one of the top-two toughest races I've ridden," Webb said. "Other one is in Italy where it's cold, slow paced and icy. That one is pretty tough also; a different kind of tough. Out here in the desert it's hot, dusty, never-ending horrible terrain.

"We had to make our way through a lot of rocky canyons with a lot of tough climbs. I battled with Graham quite a lot. There wasn't any time to look at your lines, it was just 'go' and motoring through all the tough stuff."

The race is unique as it features a "one rider, one bike" format, meaning no support staff was allowed. Even the prep work had to be done by Webb himself.

"It's just you and your bike out there against the terrain," Webb said. "Luck definitely favors the prepared.

After racing in it last year, I knew what I was going to be like. I took some precautions this year and had the bike set up perfectly. It worked out great for me."

After a short break, Webb is back on the road for another running of that cold race in Italy, then he'll head to the X-Games after that.

"I race the Hell's Gate in Italy next, representing the United States once again, so it'll be a complete turnaround from the race in the desert," Webb said. "After that I'll get ready to represent the whole Motorcycle Superstore squad at X-Games."

Bash shows the way at Big 6 Grand Prix, puts Motorcycle Superstore in winner's circle

TAFT, Calif. (Feb. 4) - Elizabeth Bash put Motorcycle-Superstore.com on the top of the podium Sunday in the opening round of the Big 6 Grand Prix, winning the women's class at Honolulu Raceway Park with a strong ride that puts her into the championship lead.

Jamie Lanza and Gary Sutherlin also had solid performances in their respective classes, with Lanza getting an easy victory in 200cc Expert and Sutherlin taking third in Pro. Bash, who has been making the transition from motocross to off-road racing in recent years, said she arrived at the event riding a wave of good vibes.

"Coming in, I was pretty excited because I got to run the W1 plate," she said. "I came in with a lot of confidence and I was really looking forward to the start of the season."

The race was challenging, Bash admitted, but she took advantage of her MX background to propel her to the top of the podium.

"I knew I had to get a good start and put some solid laps in early," Bash said. "If I started fast, I knew I'd have no problems riding to the best of my abilities the entire time.

"The track had big motocross sections and I really enjoyed getting to them. I'm not the greatest when it comes to the off-road technical stuff, but I knew this track had jumps and other motocross features that some of the other girls don't normally do. That was a big plus for me for sure."

Elizabeth Bash Elizabeth Bash

Lanza, who also flew Motorcycle-Superstore.com colors during the weekend, had little trouble handling the 200cc Expert class aboard his factory Husqvarna.

"It came together fairly easily for me because there wasn't much competition in the class," Lanza said. "I got the holeshot and led start-to-finish both days. It was pretty uneventful except for the last lap on the second day when I had to ride the all the way around on a flat tire. Fortunately I had a big enough lead that it didn't hurt me.

"The Dirt Diggers put together a really fun track. This track can get really rough and choppy in places but it wasn't too bad this time. It was pretty fast and I was able to move up through the pack when I needed to."

Sutherlin was third in the Pro Class aboard his Zip-Ty Kawasaki KXF450. With their finishes all three riders qualified for the Motorcycle-Superstore.com/Bell Helmet contingency bonus.

Up next for Bash is a World Off-Road Championship Series event in Nevada this weekend, while Lanza said he probably won't race again until the second round of the Big 6 GP Series, which takes place next month at Glen Helen Raceway in Devore, Calif.

Jamie Lanza easily dominated the 200cc class aboard his factory Husqvarna

Motorcycle-Superstore.com and Bell Helmets to continue support of industry's top riders

MEDFORD, Ore. (Feb. 22) - For a second straight year, Motorcycle-Superstore.com and Bell Helmets are teaming up to support a variety of top racers though their world-class awards program.

As part of the program, select athletes wear a special Motorcycle Superstore-branded Bell Helmet in all of their races, and become eligible for more than $600,000 in bonus awards.

"Motorcycle Superstore is proud to continue this great program with Bell Helmets," said Tim Clark, Motorcycle Superstore's Director of Sports Marketing. "The way we have it set up is cool because we are able to support a lot of riders in different disciplines of motorcycle racing. The custom-designed Motorcycle Superstore Bell Helmet makes it a complete home run, regardless of what happens on the racetrack."

The Bell Helmet program benefits riders in off-road, motocross, flat track, EnduroCross and road racing, to name just a few of the covered disciplines.

Cody Webb has already gotten a jump start on the 2013 season, wearing the custom Bell helmet during his notable win at the King of Motos as well as a podium result at the Hell's Gate Enduro in Italy. A regular in the GEICO Motorcycle AMA EnduroCross series, Webb also is gearing up to compete in Global X Games later this year.

Maria Forsberg, the 2012 GNCC Women's Champion and a two-time X Games Women's Enduro X gold medalist, along with Ryan Sandoval, a rising off-road star and Enduro X rider, will join Webb at Global X Games as part of the Motorcycle-Superstore.com and Bell Helmets race team.

In addition to the off-road stars, Motorcycle Superstore's supported riders in the AMA Pro Racing Pro Singles Flat Track series stood on top the podium numerous times throughout the season with Stephen VanderKuur capturing the 2012 championship, followed closely by Jake Shoemaker and Jason Isennock.

The program isn't limited to high-profile professionals. Motorcycle Superstore and Bell have set aside more than $100,000 in gift cards for riders at the Red Bull AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship held at Loretta Lynn's ranch in Tennessee, the most prestigious amateur motocross event in the world.

"MX Sports puts on a great week of racing at Lortta Lynn's," Clark said. "We'll have a solid mix of established riders and rising stars representing the Motorcycle-Supertore.com and Bell Helmets brand."

Lanza's double win highlights big weekend for Motorcycle-Superstore.com

DEVORE, Calif. (March 4) - Motorcycle-Superstore.com rider Jamie Lanza was a double winner this weekend at the Prairie Dogs GP at Glen Helen Raceway, Round 2 of the AMA Big 6 Grand Prix Series.

Lanza won the 86-200cc LWT-II Expert and the WCGP 86-200cc Expert classes during the weekend aboard his trusty Husqvarna cycle. With the wins, Lanza became eligible for the Motorcycle Superstore/Bell Helmets contingency bonus.

"It was a busy weekend but it went well," Lanza said. "My first race was the tougher of the two. I got a flat tire on the first lap and had to go in and change it out."

Also qualifying for the Motorcycle Superstore/Bell Helmets bonus were Eric Yorba, who won the Heavyweight Expert Class, and Elizabeth Bash, who finished third in Women's Expert.

Lanza's biggest challenge came in the WCGP contest. He completed the first lap nearly a minute quicker than the second place rider but dropped all the way to third making his repairs in the pits.

The determined rider returned to the lead before the end of the third of eight laps. He'd go on to complete the race in 1 hour, 44 minutes, 8.1 seconds, a little more than three minutes ahead of second-place finisher Jesse Vanhoy.

"I had to work my way back to the lead on Saturday," Lanza said. "That race was more intense than the Sunday race, which was uneventful for the most part. I got the holeshot and went from there."

Lanza led the second race wire-to-wire, completing the four-lap event in 51:05, a little more than two minutes in front of the second-place ride.

"Glen Helen is as close as I've got to a home track," he said. "It the closest of the Big 6 Series tracks to my house. The track was really high speed, which is different. It wasn't too chewed up.

"The starts proved to be pretty important because there were a couple of sections of the course that were pretty dusty, and you want to get out front through those."

Yorba also led wire-to-wire in the Heavyweight Expert race, finishing the nine-lap event in 1:48:37 aboard his KTM. Bash was third in her race aboard her Kawasaki with a final time of 53:41 over four laps.

Lanza said he's exploring his options for a next race, but he said he's definitely going after more Motorcycle Superstore/Bell Helmet bonus money at the next Big 6 GP event which is April 6-7 in 29 Palms, Calif.

Jamie Lanza wins twice at Glen Helen.

Motorcycle-Superstore.com rider DeLong shines at Westgate River Ranch

RIVER RANCH, Fla. (March 13) - Andrew DeLong missed the first two GNCC races of 2012 recovering from a broken collarbone and a collapsed lung, but still managed to win five times before the season was out.

Now, with a full off-season of preparation under his belt, a new road-racing bicycle for training and a hungry attitude, DeLong seems poised for great things in 2013. That became abundantly clear Tuesday at Westgate River Ranch when DeLong won the XC2 Pro Lites class, registered a fifth-place overall finish and qualified for a share of the Motorcycle-Superstore.com Bell Helmet bonus.

"There were a lot of top guys out there, so it feels pretty good to win," DeLong said. "I'm starting the season now and I'm excited to get to the next race. It feels like it's going to be a good year."

DeLong completed the six-lap race aboard his Husqvarna in 2 hours, 57 minutes and 24.8 seconds. He said the track tested his fitness every lap.

"The whole layout was really rough," DeLong said. "The endurance I had was steady, so I was able to keep the same pace the whole time. I didn't fade at all. When everybody else was starting to get tired, I just kept going.

"There really wasn't an easy spot on the track. It was all sand whoops and mudholes, so making it through each lap was a big accomplishment."

DeLong said he invested in a high quality road bicycle to help with his training, and that purchase has made a huge difference.

"I spent a pretty good amount of money on that bike," DeLong said. "I was hoping it would pay off. I started riding it so much. I've been getting up to 30 to 50 miles a day. It feels like it's paid off and I'm happy I bought it.

"It makes me more hungry to go out and train to make myself better."

Kacy Martinez and Maria Forsberg also finished on the podium at River Ranch in the Womens class and each took a share of the Motorcycle Superstore Bell Helmet contingency fund.

Martinez finished second in her race, with a time of 2:02:44.2 over four laps on the course. Forsberg was third with a final time of 2:03:44.2. It was a great result for Martinez as Forsberg won every event last season.

The GNCC series gets right back into competition this weekend with The Maxxis General at Aonia Pass MX in Washington, Ga.

Rush gets things rolling in Daytona for Motorcycle-Superstore.com

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (March 15) - Mikey Rush got the 2013 AMA Pro Flat Track presented by J&P Cycles season off to a strong start Thursday with a late-race pass on his Machete Energy Honda to take the Grand National Championship class victory and a piece of the Motorcycle-Superstore.com Bell Helmet bonus.

"I love Daytona," Rush said. "I won here in my rookie year back in 2007 and that was a great feeling and tonight is every bit as good. Both Jared Mees and Brad Baker were on their game but I was patient and worked my way to the front."

The night did require its fair share of patience after two red-flag stoppages in the first five laps with Rush lining up sixth on the final staggered start. The 25-year-old from Hollister, Calif., spent much of the middle section of the race picking his way through the crowd before making a pass for the lead on Lap 19 of 25 and holding on for the win.

"Brad made it extremely difficult for me tonight and I was lucky to make that pass late in the race and eventually stick it for the win," Rush said. "The feeling I have right now is incredible. I love competing against these guys."

Jason Isennock overcame a balky bike in the Pro Singles to finish second in the main event. Isennock's motorcycle didn't want to fire on the starting line in the main event, and it required some help from fellow competitor Mike Poe to get the motor going.

A 26-year-old from Owings Mill, Md., Isennock shook of the strange start and ran a strong race, finishing second to Kyle Johnson with Poe running third.

"Kyle ran a strong race from start to finish," Isennock said. "You can't take that away from him, but I'm glad to put the Superstore helmet up on the podium the first race out."

Action continues Friday night in Daytona.

Wells cashes in runner-up finish in Pro Singles in second night of Flat Track racing

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (March 15) - Ryan Wells rode his Waters Auto Body Honda to a runner up finish on Friday night in the AMA Pro Flat Track presented by J&P Cycles Pro Singles class at Daytona International Raceway and earned a share of the Motorcycle-Superstore.com Bell Helmet bonus.

"Daytona is always a fun weekend," Wells said. "It's a great way to kick off the race season."

Wells finished sixth in the season opener on Thursday night and rebounded for a strong effort out of the box on Friday being either No. 1 or 2 in both qualifying sessions. He won his heat race by 1.177 seconds before rolling into the main event full of confidence.

"The track was really hard tonight and my finish was definitely better than the sixth from last night," Wells said. "My team did a great job this weekend, and I'd like to thank all my sponsors for helping me do what I really love: racing motorcycles."

Wells rode a strong main event, but wasn't enough to overcome Jake Constantine, who won the race by 2.018 seconds. With his finish, Wells moves into fourth place in the Pro Singles season standings heading to the next stage of the season.

A handful of Motorcycle-Superstore.com Bell Helmet riders had strong rides, but just missed out on the contingency. Wyatt Maguire was fourth with Stephen VanderKuur, Dominic Colindres and Gerit Callies holding down fifth through seventh places, respectively.

Puerta takes second Daytona race in Motorcycle-Superstore.com SuperSport class

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (March 16) - For the second time is as many days, a rider from Colombia won the AMA Pro Motorcycle-Superstore.com SuperSport race at Daytona International Speedway.

Tomas Puerta led six of 10 laps aboard his RoadRace Factory Racing Yamaha on Saturday to join countryman Stefano Masa as Daytona winners this weekend.

"I was trying to think about being in the lead on the last lap of the chicane," Puerta said. "I changed my mind with two laps to go. On the last lap I just put my head down and didn't care where everyone was at in the draft.

"I saw I had a little bit of a gap going through the horseshoe, and I just kept charging from there."

Puerta made that lead hold up to the finish and increased the gap to a final margin of 1.03 seconds over second-place Charles Weaver and his Napa Auto Yamaha and 1.133 seconds over third-place Cory Alexander and his National Guard Suzuki.

"Everyone on the team is more confident than last year," Puerta said. "I'm hoping we can get a lot of wins this year."

Weaver said his bike was working very well in the draft all race long.

"It was kind of unexpected," Weaver said. "I was OK in warmup, but had a little spill and went into the grass.

We gridded 13th and I just kept making my way forward.

"Second-to-last lap I finally caught the lead group and drafted past most of them to get to second."

The race was briefly red-flagged early on when a rider went off the track, which Alexander said worked to his advantage.

"After the second start my bike was running great," Alexander said. "I made my way up from 11th, so I'm really pumped to be on the podium after a rough start to the weekend. I'm really happy."

DeLong scores another victory for Motorcycle-Superstore.com

WASHINGTON, Ga. (March 17) - For the second time in a week, Andrew DeLong rode his powerful Fred Andrews Racing Factory Husqvarna to a victory in a GNCC race.

After winning in Florida earlier in the week, DeLong traveled north to Georgia and won the Pro XC2 class at The Maxxis General on a difficult track at Aonia Pass MX. Along with the trophy, DeLong qualified for the MotorcycleSuperstore.com Bell Helmet bonus.

"It was a really rough, tough track," DeLong said. "I think my physical conditioning came into play again this weekend.

I was able to keep the bike up on two wheels and not fall too many times. That was key in taking this win. You have to get through the race and finish it to have a chance and if you're not physically prepared for it, you're in trouble."

DeLong finished the course in 3 hours, 1 minute and 3.062 seconds, nearly 35 seconds ahead of the second-place rider Grant Baylor. Supercross star Zach Osborne was third, more than two minutes behind DeLong.

"I tried to get into a flow today but it was really hard," DeLong said. "I made a point to try and save my energy for the whole race. I felt good all the way to the end of the race, but when I got off the bike I was pretty whooped. It was a demanding track.

"It's been a great week. I'm happy with the way the season is starting and I'm pleased with the way I've been riding. Thanks to Motorcycle Superstore for their support. It helps a bunch."

Up next for the GNCC series is the FMF Steele Creek, April 6-7 in Morganton, N.C.

Pair of Motorcycle-Superstore.com riders share the lead in GNCC Women's class

WASHINGTON, Ga. (March 19) - A pair of Motorcycle-Superstore.com riders have started the season with back-to-back podium finishes and now Kacy Martinez and Maria Forsberg are tied atop the Women's championship standings with two GNCC races in the books.

The riders are part of a three-way tie atop the Women's standings heading into a small break in the schedule ahead of the FMF Steele Creek event, April 6-7 in Morganton, N.C. Martinez has put together back-to-back runner-up finishes to start the season in her first year racing GNCC after making the switch from the WORCS series. She said the GNCC format feels more natural to her, which she credits for her early success.

"Coming over from the other series, I didn't really know where I was going to stand," Martinez said. "I grew up racing hare scrambles, local two-hour races, which were something I really enjoyed.

"The WORCS races are only an hour long, so I really wasn't as comfortable with them because if you make even one small error, it's hard to catch back up. With GNCC, I've got more time to get collected. It's a little more forgiving."

After spending so much time recently in hour-long races, Martinez said she found a preseason event in South Carolina to test her fitness level for her return to two-hour races.

"I hadn't done a two-hour race in three or four years," she said. "When we got back East we wanted to find a two-hour race to make sure we were ready for it. We found that race in South Carolina, and I won it, so I felt really good. It gave me a lot confidence before we started the season in Florida."

Martinez said she's enjoyed the competition, especially against Forsberg in the second race of the season.

"The first round, I didn't have many battles because I was pretty much riding by myself the whole race," Martinez said.

Maria Forsberg (Photo by Ken Hill/GNCC) "The second round was a lot of fun. Maria and I were swapping back and forth for a couple of laps. She ended up getting out front right when I got stuck behind some lappers and she was able to pull away and take the win.

"It was good. I was happy to take second and can't wait for the rest of the season."

After sweeping the series in 2012, Forsberg started the year in Florida with a third-place finish and backed it up by winning at the The Maxxis General over the weekend.

"We were on the track early in the day so it wasn't as chewed up as it got later on," Forsberg said. "It had a few mud holes in it, but I was able to find some quick lines through them."

Forsberg said she's entered the season in tip-top shape, which she said helped her tremendously in Florida and Georgia.

"My cross-fit training has really helped me," she said. "I could really tell it this weekend. I had good energy through the whole race."

Motorcycle-Superstore.com rewards DeLong for first National Enduro title

BLACKWATER, Texas (March 25) - Andrew DeLong continued his recent hot streak with a big win Sunday at the 38th Concho National Enduro aboard his Fred Andrews Racing factory Husqvarna.

This is the third time this young season DeLong has been to the top step of the podium and claim the Motorcycle-Superstore.com Bell Helmet bonus. He previously won his class in the first two GNCC races of the season earlier this month. Sunday's victory was DeLong's first at a Rekluse AMA National Enduro.

"I can't believe I won this weekend," DeLong said. "I'm just happy to have made it through the race and not get injured. I'm definitely happy with the end result."

DeLong completed the course in 46 minutes, 35 seconds, just six second ahead of second-place rider Russell Bobbitt.

"The track was dusty and it had a lot of rocks," DeLong said. "It was very loose rock, so it felt like you were skating the whole time. I never felt like I had a solid grip on the ground.

"Then when we got to the larger rocks we were getting thrown around a little. Today was definitely about running a smart race and not pushing the limit."

Knowing the limits of what his bike and the track will hold has been an important change DeLong has made to his riding style.

"Last year at this time I was on the sidelines with a broken collar bone and collapsed lung," DeLong said. "I missed out on winning the GNCC championship last year because I sat out the first two races with injury.

"This year I've been trying to let the races come to me, instead of just charging like I had always done to before. The different style of riding really helped me this weekend and I want to try and continue it to keep my momentum flowing."

DeLong said he's going to take a well-deserved break for a week before setting his sights on the April 6-7 FMF Steele Creek in Morganton, N.C., the next stop in the GNCC series.

"I haven't been home to California since Christmas," DeLong said. "I'm going to take some time to relax and sleep in my own bed for a week. After that I'll head back East and get ready for the GNCC in North Carolina."

Motorcycle-Superstore.com at forefront as EnduroCross goes global

MEDFORD, Ore. (April 2) - The reach of the highly popular EnduroCross format is spanning worldwide this summer with off-road motorcycle racing's inclusion into the Global X-Games. Always on the cutting edge, Motorcycle-Superstore.com will be there every step of the way.

The online parts giant will have six top riders sporting the Motorcycle Superstore Bell Helmet during Global Enduro-X competition in Brazil, Spain, Germany and Los Angeles.

"It's going to be awesome," said Cody Webb, last year's EnduroCross championship runner-up and a member of the Motorcycle Superstore team. "It's going to be a great chance to race in front of crowds around the world and bring the sport to a bigger audience."

Joining Webb on the Global X-Games team are Maria Forsberg, Kacy Martinez, Bryan Roper, Ryan Sandoval and Gary Sutherlin.

"When I was told, I was pumped for sure," said Forsberg, the top female rider in the sport. "To be able to travel the world and race my motorcycle at the same time is a dream come true.

"The two years we've been a part of X-Games, Enduro-X has been one of the biggest hits. Being a part of Global X-Games is huge for the sport; all of us off-roaders are so excited."

The first event will be run during the April 18-21 games in Foz Do Iguacu in Brazil. Later events will Cody Webb be in Barcelona, Spain (May 16-19); Munich, Germany (June 27-30) and Los Angeles (August 1-4). Races will air on the ESPN family of networks.

"We have been a sponsor of the EnduroCross series from it's beginning," said Tim Clark, Director of Sports Marketing for Motorcycle-Superstore.com."We always believed this sport had the potential to have a worldwide appeal and we're excited to share the international stage with our group of sponsored riders.

"The exposure Global X-Games will generate through television and online media will help showcase the Motorcycle Superstore brand both nationally and world wide."

Eric Peronnard, co-founder of EnduroCross said this next stage of this sport's evolution is going to be exciting.

"X-Games was always interested in EnduroCross," he said. "They came to watch the second EnduroCross in 2005 because they heard so many good things. It took them five years to find a window to welcome EnduroCross and they finally invited us in 2011, which proved to be a successful debut.

"I was really hoping our sport would be invited to go global, because not every sport has been. Now we have the stage to show off our talent worldwide and it's incredible recognition for our riders, our sport and our sponsors."

Each rider has a particular spot on the schedule they are looking forward to racing at first. For Webb, it's Brazil.

"I ride on Thursday and don't leave until Sunday," he said. "So it's going to a great chance to take in some culture and see what the local area is all about. I've been to Barcelona before, but never Germany, so I'm excited to see that country too.

"The fans in Europe are just insane. It's going to open our eyes up and we're going to experience a lot more than what we're used to."

Foresberg said heading to Germany is going to be the spot she wants to see the most.

"My husband is the first generation of his family born outside of Germany," she said. "I think a lot of people are going to come check us out. I'm going to be way nervous to be in front of the crowds they are expecting, but it's going to be exciting and a lot of fun at the same time."

Peronnard said he's been impressed with the way the athletes have worked together to make international

Forsberg travelled across the country from her home in Lynnwood, Wash., to edge fellow Motorcycle Superstore-supported rider Kacy Martinez in the women's bracket at the FMF Steele Creek GNCC event in Morganton, N.C. Forsberg completed the four-lap main in 1:48:53.859 on her KTM, with North Carolina's own Martinez slightly more than a minute back at 1:50:04.468, also on a KTM. Andrew Delong maintained his lead in the XC2 Pro Lites with a hard-fought, fourth-place finish in Morganton. Delong was with the front group throughout the exhaustive seven-lap main but had a big spill near the end and finished half a minute back in 3:06:34.296 on his FAR Husqvarna.

"I had a hard time finding my groove," said Delong, as he returned to his team's shop in Salem, Ohio. "Every time I pushed it I ended up on the ground. I have to remember that it's all about the big picture at the end of the year. I got good points, even on a tough day, and that will be big as the year goes along."

Lanza of Calimesa, Calif., had a busy weekend of his own, racing in two separate events in his native Southern California.

On Saturday, he won the West Coast GP 86-200 Expert class at 29 Palms Motorsports Arena, leading the eight-lap race from start to finish in 1:44.00 on his Husqvarna. He then entered the MTA World Two-Stroke Championship at Glen Helen Raceway on Sunday and had finishes of 8-7 that placed him seventh overall in the 125 Pro category.

"I wasn't completely happy with my final result at the Two-Stroke Championship but it was some of the most fun I've had on a motorcycle ever," Lanza said. "Racing more than 20 guys on 125cc two-stroke motorcycles is every bit as fun as it sounds."

Gary Sutherlin of Hesperia, Calif., joined Lanza in the two-stroke fun at Glen Helen, riding his Yamaha to a fourth-place overall finish with moto results of 5-4 in the Open Pro class.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth Bash of El Cajon, Calif., was runner-up in the Women's Expert class at 29 Palms, completing the four-lap race in 52:44 on her Kawasaki.

Andrew Delong competes at the GNCC race in North Carolina.

Motorcycle-Superstore.com EnduroCross riders brace for Brazil

FOZ DU IGUCU, Brazil (April 16) - Motorcycle-Superstore.com will enter the global marketplace in a big way Thursday when its team of EnduroCross riders step to the world stage to help kick off Global X Games' first international event in Brazil.

Riders Maria Forsberg, Kacy Martinez, Bryan Roper, Ryan Sandoval, Gary Sutherlin and Cody Webb will all don their special Motorcycle-Superstore.com Bell Helmet with dreams of scoring EnduroX gold.

"This is a huge event for all of us," Webb said. "It means a lot, not just for the riders, but for off-road motorcycle racing as well. People from all corners of the world ride off-road races, so to bring them all together and have our sport recognized as part of the Global X Games is a huge leap forward for us."

The men's and women's EnduroX event will be one of the first medal events at the Brazil X Games. ESPN and WatchESPN will carry the racing at 7 p.m. EDT Thursday, which is the first day of the X Games.

"It's going to be an exciting weekend all the way around," Martinez said. "We're going to get to race in this super high-energy atmosphere. I'm pretty sure it's going to be unlike anything we've ever seen or experienced.

Then we'll get to be fans ourselves in the days after without the stress of a race on our minds."

Webb said the racing itself is going to be an unusual challenge as well.

"There are a lot more variables at a race like this than at a regular EnduroCross event," Webb said. "For our regular season races, you have been to a lot of these venues in the past, so you have a good idea of how well the dirt is going to hold up as the racing goes on. Here, it's a tropical location and you don't know how everything is going to hold together.

"It's a challenge that I'm excited to face and earning a medal from these X Games would be the ultimate souvenir."

Webb, Forsberg score pair of X Games silver medals for Motorcycle-Superstore.com

FOZ DU IGUCU, Brazil (April 16) - Motorcycle-Superstore.com Enduro X riders Cody Webb and Maria Forsberg took home a pair of silver medals Thursday night in the opening event of Global X Games Brazil.

Webb was runner-up in the men's competition and Forsberg struck silver in the women's event.

The track in Brazil was unlike any seen during the regular EnduroCross season. This event was held outside, so the circuit was twice as big as a regular EnduroCross course. The biggest X-factor turned out to be the dirt itself, which held water and became slicker as each lap passed.

"It was a pretty insane track tonight," Webb said. "I was in the first heat and the track really wasn't all that bad. But by the time we got around to the main event there were spots on the track that felt like we were riding on ice."

Webb won his heat easily, but got a stiff challenge from Taddy Blazusiak in the main event.

"Taddy and I had a great battle for a long time there," Webb said. "I had the fastest line thought the rock hairpin and he was better through some of the uphill sections, which kept us bar-to-bar during the first three or four laps. I don't know how many times we swapped the lead."

The slick racing surface eventually bit Webb in a big way on Lap 4 when, while in the lead, he came out of an obstacle, hit an especially shiny patch of dirt, lost the rear end of his bike and slid into the tuff blocks.

"I had a nice gap on Taddy and then got the rug pulled out from under me," Webb said. "He got a big lead after that and didn't make any big mistakes. I was gaining back on him but ran out of time. If the race were a lap or two longer I think I might have tracked him down."

Forsberg also enjoyed an early lead in the women's race, but she got hung up on a downhill obstacle which allowed Spanish upstart Laia Sanz to pass her.

"I was trying to push my bike over the bottom log, which was hard because everything was wet and footing was difficult," she said. "I felt like I was close to getting going again, but another rider got stuck next to me, then fell on top of me. It killed my momentum and gave Sanz time to get away."

Forsberg fell as far back as fourth before recovering and working her way back into silver medal position.

"It breaks my run of gold medals at X Games," said Forsberg, who won the last two X Games. "Thankfully, with the Global X Games now, it's not my only chance at gold this year."

Up next for Motorcycle Superstore Bell Helmet riders is the season opening race of the GEICO Motorcycle AMA Pro EnduroCross series season May 3 in Las Vegas. The next Global X Games stop will be May 16-19 in Barcelona, Spain.

DeLong takes third trophy of the year for Motorcycle-Superstore.com

UNION, S.C. (April 22) - Andrew DeLong won his third GNCC event of the season Sunday at the Big Buck GNCC Nationals, but the FAR Husqvarna rider didn't take the easiest route to collecting his MotorcycleSuperstore.com Bell Helmet bonus this time around.

DeLong built a commanding lead in the XC2 class before a serious crash saw a cushion of nearly 90 seconds evaporate.

"Thank goodness I'm with Motorcycle Superstore because my helmet needs a new visor. I smashed mine up on the get-off I had today," DeLong said. "I was rolling good, being smooth and everything. I took a different line one lap and there must have been a stump buried by leaves or something and when I hit it I went flying over the bars."

The visor on his Bell helmet wasn't the only damage DeLong took in the fall. The rear fender was torn off and his muffler was crushed like an empty can.

"Everyone had a chance to close that gap on me, but I was able to finish the race and still build the lead back up a little before the end," DeLong said. "It was a tough day for me for sure."

DeLong completed the seven laps of the 16-mile course in 2 hours, 48 minutes and 44 seconds. Second-place rider Grant Baylor finished in 2:49:01.

"It turned out to be a good day," DeLong said. "There were some moments there when I wasn't sure if I'd get the bike back out on the track but I did."

DeLong padded his season lead in the XC2 standings to 21 points ahead of Baylor with a familiar stretch of the schedule coming his way.

"The first few rounds of the year have always been tough one me," DeLong said. "The first stops are softer with a lot of mud and I kind of like it where it's rocky and a lot more technical.

"I was happy to make it through this race and I'm excited to get to Kentucky because it's rocky there."

Next for DeLong is the May 4-5 Mammoth GNCC in Mammoth, Ky.

Globetrotters Forsberg and Martinez keep spotlight on Motorcycle-Superstore.com

UNION, S.C. (April 22) - Motorcycle-Superstore.com Bell Helmet riders Maria Forsberg and Kacy Martinez weren't going to let 12-plus hours on a plane or a trip across the Equator interfere with their ongoing battle for the GNCC championship.

Both riders competed in the first Global X Games EnduroX race in Brazil last Thursday night, boarded flights back to the states Friday morning, then were at the Big Buck GNCC Nationals by Sunday to resume their friendly rivalry.

"My flight out was at 7:30 in the morning," Martinez said. "I flew all day and got to the Charlotte airport at 1 a.m. on Saturday. We went to the track after we slept in a little and got all signed in."

It took three planes and a 90-minute car ride to get Forsberg to the race.

"It was pretty gnarly," Forsberg said. "An hour-and-a-half to Sau Paulo, then eight hours to Miami, almost another two hours from Miami to Charlotte then an hour-and-a-half drive to Union.

"I felt pretty good for the race, but after the race on Sunday, I definitely hit my wall."

Despite both riders dragging a little bit, Forsberg and Martinez did not disappoint when the helmets went on.

"I pulled off the win, but Kacy and I had quite the battle going," Forsberg said. "I was the best I had ever seen that course because normally it is so dry. I got a good start and built a bit of a lead. It turned it into a trail ride, because Kacy and Jessica Patterson caught up and passed me."

At one point, Patterson struggled with an obstacle and fell back, which left Forsberg and Martinez swapping the lead throughout the final stages of the race.

Maria Forsberg

"I was a little surprised about how good I felt racing," Martinez said. "I went through the check third on the first lap, but came around in first the next lap. Later on, I had a crash with a lapper and that's when Maria passed me.

"I caught back up and passed her and was really feeling good and thought today was going to be my day."

Late in the race the pair came on to a mud hole on the track which had swallowed a lot of other riders, causing officials to re-route Martinez and Forsberg.

"There were racers everywhere," Martinez said. "We came up on it real quick. A course worker had his back to me when I came through first. He signed Maria to go another way. I turned around real quick to follow her."

Forsberg said she did see the official first and reacted quickly.

"When they re-routed us, I was behind Kacy which gave me an advantage," Forsberg said. "I was able to cut in and get around her. That was the last lap of the race. I got in front of some lappers in the tight section then tried to gap her as best as I could."

In the end, Forsberg crossed the line with a final time of 1 hour, 50 minutes, 26 seconds with Martinez finishing in 1:51.02. Forsberg leads Martinez by two points in the championship standings.

"This was a big race for me," Martinez said. "I know I can be a frontrunner and compete with Maria head-to-head every race now. If I put my work in, hopefully my next race will be better."

Kacy Martinez

The jet-setting ways aren't over for Forsberg and Martinez. Forsberg said she's already committed to racing in

Motorcycle-Superstore.com rider Yorba regains WORCS Pro2 lead with third victory of the year

HURRICANE, Utah (April 22) -- Eric Yorba and Ty Tremaine took the top two spots in WORCS series Pro 2 racing at Sand Hollow Park Sunday and earned Motorcycle-Superstore.com Bell Helmet bonus awards in the process.

Yorba won for the third time this year, this time on a course that was as tough mentally as it was physically.

"The race went pretty well," Yorba said. "It was a really gnarly course. There were areas that were super rocky and then it would transition to sand. You had to stay focused or you'd go down."

Yorba completed the five-lap race in 1 hour, 58 minutes and 14 seconds, but it was a roller-coaster to try and get to the front.

"I got a third-place start, which was decent, but I had some issues early and dropped way back," Yorba said.

"Then I just started picking guys off. Riding with the Pro guys you can follow their lines at times, which really helps.

"I rode behind Robbie (Bell) for quite a while but then we all kind of got separated so I was just doing my own thing, trying to survive."

Tremaine came into the race fired-up and looking for the win. He finished with a time of 2:01:32.

"I won the 450A race Saturday, so I was really excited for the Pro 2 race," Tremaine said. "The track was really rough, rocky and sandy.

"I got a second-place start and just kind of rode my own race with a consistent pace. It was physically demanding with super-deep sand whoops throughout the course. It was a good variety."

Yorba and Tremaine are in the middle of a tight battle for the class' championship lead. With this win, Yorba came away with a two-point advantage over Tremaine and Starr Savage.

"I want that Pro2 championship and I feel like every race that goes by I'm taking another little baby step towards that goal," Yorba said. "This was my third win of the year in four races and if I hadn't crashed out in the last race I'd probably have a good lead in the points. There's a long way to go so I just need to ride hard."

On the women's side, Elizabeth Bash finished runner-up on Sunday, which helped her maintain the championship lead. Bash finished the race in 1:51:42, just behind winner Riley Ellinger who had a time of 1:49:13. Bash leads Cortney Roewer by six points in the standings.

Sutherlin brings home West Hare Scramble title for Motorcycle-Superstore.com

MEDFORD, Ore. (May 2) - Gary Sutherlin didn't set out to run the entire AMA West Hare Scrambles Series schedule this year, but after the Motorcycle-Superstore.com Bell Helmet rider won the season-opening race, it was hard not to come back for more.

"I didn't have a plan to race the whole series," Sutherlin said. "Then I won the first race, the previous year's winner had a DNF and I figured it's only a five-race series. I thought, 'Why not. I'll give it a shot.'"

Sutherlin hit the bull-eye with his shot. He won in Buckeye and Globe, Ariz., and finished solidly enough in the other two races to clinch the series title with one event left to go.

"This series is a whole new ballgame for me," Sutherlin said.

"Hare scrambles are really tight rides. I come from a motocross background where things are more open.

"I met a lot of new guys I'd never crossed paths with before, because it's such a different series. There are a lot of guys who can go really, really fast through all the tight stuff. It's been great."

Crossing over to a different series has been a signature part of Sutherlin's career. This weekend he'll race the season opener for the GEICO Motorcycle AMA Pro EnduroCross series in Las Vegas.

"I feel like I'm a pretty well-rounded guy," Sutherlin said.

"I've raced motocross, scrambles, 24-hour enduro races and EnduroCross. It's a good thing and the bad thing in a way. I can perform well in most events, but I'm still looking for that one thing where I can really excel.

Gary Sutherlin

"To be able to pull off a championship and win two of these Hare Scramble rounds has been exciting."

The most thrilling round might have been the latest round in Shasta Lake, Calif.

"I kind of lucked out," Sutherlin said. "Cory Graffunder and I raced on Sunday morning, we threw all our stuff in my van and we drove down to Sacramento so we could fly to Brazil to race in the X Games the next week.

"I had a lot on my mind, but I just rode smart and wrapped up the title early."

Sutherlin will be back on his bike on Friday at the Orleans Arena.

Webb and Forsberg earn pair of fourth-place finishes in Vegas

LAS VEGAS (May 4) -- Motorcycle-Superstore.com riders Cody Webb and Maria Forsberg returned from a successful trip to Global X Games in Brazil to log a pair of fourth-place finishes in the season-opening GEICO Motorcycle EnduroCross race Friday night at Orleans Arena.

After flying through his heat race and looking in total command of the fast Vegas track, Webb was hampered by a first-turn logjam in the main event that likely cost him a spot on the podium. While championship riders Mike Brown, Taddy Blazusiak and Colton Haaker broke free at the front, Webb had to fight his way through the field to earn his final spot.

Even with a bad start, Webb rode his Beta two-stroke extremely well, methodically picking off his rivals as he regained the ground lost at the start. In the end, he narrowly missed a top-three spot as Blazusiak and Haaker took the last turn through the rock section at virtually the same time with Webb right on their rear fenders.

Ultimately, Blazusiak and Haaker crossed ahead of Webb, earning second and third place, respectively.

Brown took the win.

"This race wasn't exactly what I had in mind but we'll take it," Webb said. "I had a decent jump on the start but locked bars with someone in the first turn and nearly went down. The first two laps were just horrible but I settled in and basically freight-trained to fourth behind Taddy and Colton the rest of the race.

"The track was pretty simple and fast and everyone rode solid so it was hard to capitalize on anyone else's mistakes because there just wasn't many made."

Forsberg, the prohibitive favorite in the women's class after dominating last year's EnduroCross series, crashed at the start and found herself dead-last in the short, four-lap main event. The veteran regained her composure and closed in on a breakaway group of three riders but had a few bobbles that kept her off the podium.

It was a rare ending for Forsberg, who seemingly never finishes a race outside the top three. On this night, Canadians Shelby Turner and Chantelle Bykerk went 1-2, with Rachel Gutish taking third.

"The night didn't go as I was hoping," Forsberg said. "I had that wreck at the start and was playing catch-up all night after that. Credit Shelby, Chantelle and Rachel; they rode really well and didn't give me many chances. With a race that's only four laps long you can't make any big mistakes. There's just isn't enough time to overcome them."

The series takes a month break before Round 2, which takes place June 8 at Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento, Calif.

Motorcycle-Superstore.com's Martinez masters mud race in Kentucky, assumes points lead

PARK CITY, Ky. (May 5) - The rains that set in over the Southeast during the weekend didn't seem to bother Motorcycle-Superstore.com Bell Helmet rider Kacy Martinez as she was able to work her way through the sloppy Mammoth GNCC course Sunday to pick up her first victory of the season and assume the women's class points lead.

"For sure it was a very, very tough race," Martinez said. "I haven't been in a mudder for a long time. I somehow finished three laps out there. It was crazy how muddy it was but I'm happy to get the win."

Martinez said the rain was relentless, making it difficult for everyone.

"It rained all day yesterday and pretty much all night," Martinez said. "This morning it rained off and on before quitting for a while, so we were hoping it was done. Then right before we got to the starting line, it started up again and rained off and on pretty much the entire race."

Martinez finished her three laps in two hours, five minutes, 17 seconds aboard her KTM. Becca Sheets was a distant second in 2:10:43.

"There's not much you can do to prepare for conditions like this," Martinez said. "My bike is so destroyed. I'll be digging mud out for days. I knew it was going to be this way, so I was ready as I can be."

Despite the soaking precipitation, Martinez said there were actually a few spots on the course that were pretty fun to ride.

"Down in the grass track through the pits and around the motor homes was the worst," she said. "Once you got on the trails in the woods it wasn't as bad as it was out along the flats. The pros were making good lines through the trees, which made it easier to race through.

Kacy Martinez

"Still, there were people off their bikes all around the track. It was hard to determine where to run on the track and which were the right lines to ride."

With the victory and a fifth-place finish from fellow Motorcycle-Superstore.com Bell Helmet rider Maria Forsberg, Martinez assumed the class points lead. Martinez had finished second in the previous four races this season.

"I'm stoked, I'm so happy," Martinez said. "This track was so muddy I still can't believe how well I rode.

Taking the points lead is a bonus."

PRIMM, Nev. (May 6) - A busy weekend for Motorcycle-Superstore.com Bell Helmet rider Jamie Lanza became a productive one as he scored a pair of victories at the Shamrocks Big 6 GP at State Line.

Lanza started the weekend off Friday night by successfully reaching the main event at the GEICO Motorcycle AMA Pro EnduroCross opener in Las Vegas. He then made the quick trip over to Primm for the Big 6 race, where he won both the WGCP 86-200cc Expert class on Saturday and the Lightweight II Expert class on Sunday aboard his trusty Husqvarna.

"The whole weekend went well," Lanza said. "Making the main in Vegas was good, but obviously I wanted to do better than 12th place in the main there. I made a mistake in the main there and that cost me, but fortunately the rest of the weekend was practically flawless."

In the first Shamrocks race, Lanza outpaced Jesse Vanhoy for the victory. Lanza completed the nine laps in 1 hour, 54 minutes, 11 seconds. Vanhoy only completed eight laps before resigning. In the Sunday race, Lanza was on his game again, finishing a five-lap race in 1:01:29. Vanhoy was runner-up again, finishing in 1:04:58.

"Sometimes when you have a race that doesn't go so well, you can't wait to get back out on the bike and race more," Lanza said. "Primm was only 45 minutes away from Las Vegas, so I was able to wake up the next day after the EnduroCross deal and start racing again."

Lanza said the Shamrocks race was a fun mix of sand and hard pack that presented a fun challenge to ride.

"Both races were very uneventful, a good thing when you're out in the desert," Lanza said. "My bike ran really good both days, and that was probably the best part of it. The track was really sandy and I love riding through sand.

"There's enough of a mix of the sand and hard pack that you really can't go crazy with the sand tire. You have to stay within yourself and ride smart."

Up next for Lanza will be the So Cal GP from June 1-2 then the June 8 round of EnduroCross in Sacramento, Calif.

Motorcycle-Superstore.com unveils new commercial starring Kevin Windham

MEDFORD, Ore. (May 8) - Racers have a language all to themselves. It's a combination of noises, expressions and hand signals that help riders relive a ride.

It's a language Motorcycle-Superstore.com knows well and has made the centerpiece of a new national commercial campaign that will debut during the broadcast of the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship from Hangtown.

Brian Chamberlain, creative director at Motorcycle Superstore, oversaw the production of the spot and said the aim was to highlight Motorcycle Superstore's strong racing roots.

"We've never done a national spot like this," Chamberlain said. "When we decided to do one, we partnered with Maddox Visuals and Tyler Maddox, who is both a great photographer and a rider. We really wanted to partner with someone who knew the subject matter inside and out.

"We didn't want to do the run-of-the-mill commercial that shows a warehouse with lots of product talking about large selection and low prices. That's the same thing everyone else seems to be doing. We wanted to be different."

Chamberlain said the goal was to get personal with the individual consumer.

"We want to connect with the rider," he said. "We want to let them know we ride just like they do and we get it. We threw around a lot of ideas and kept going back to how riders always talk about their rides right after they get off their bikes. It's a universal language of how riders speak to one another.

"We want riders to know we get it because we're riders too, not just some big corporation selling parts."

Chamberlain said the commercial initially was going to be funny, but it evolved into the ďŹ nal form as they shot it.

"It was going to be all humorous and we did a casting for people with great facial expressions," Chamberlain said. "In the process of casting we thought it would be cool if we could get a top-level rider to validate it and Kevin Windham happened to be available, so suddenly there was this awesome opportunity to get this legend involved."

Windham said while he's more at ease on a motorcycle than in front of the camera, it didn't take him long to get into the spirit of the shoot.

"It's tough and sometimes you feel out of place doing things like this," Windham said. "It usually takes a lot of time to capture the moment the producer wants to have. I felt kind of goofy doing things like this in the past, but you always trust the people behind the scenes are going to make you look as good as they can.

"This time it didn't take long at all to know what they were trying to capture and I think they nailed it. We were just acting normal."

Chamberlain said the Motorcycle Superstore employees who came out to watch also got involved.

"As we started shooting, some of the faces started to get redundant and it wasn't as authentic as we wanted," he said. "We had a bunch of employees on hand and they all ride, so we started to bring them into it, which gave the spot a more realistic feeling.

"If we had more time, I think the idea would have evolved further, but we were under a pretty tight deadline to get it done. We're all very proud of it."

The spot will make its debut during the May 18 broadcast of the Hangtown MX Classic in Sacramento, Calif.

Motorcycle-Superstore.com pro Larsen begins national title hunt in Costa Mesa

COSTA MESA, Calif. (May 8) - Josh Larsen, one of the newest riders in the Motorcycle-Superstore.com stable, has won just about everything possible in speedway motorcycle racing and he has his sights set on filling in the last hole on his résumé this season.

The 40-year-old Californian has won races and championships all over the globe, but because of injury and a touch of bad luck, Larsen has yet to put a U.S. national championship on his shelf. His path to one of the two American titles up for grabs annually starts Saturday at Costa Mesa Speedway.

"When I retired from racing in Europe after 12 years, I took a break from racing for a while," Larsen said. "Two years ago I started to come back and just race for fun. I won eight of the first 12 races of the year, so I became a full-time rider again.

"My career was interrupted when I broke my leg badly and severed my Achilles tendon. It gave me the time to think about what I want to do. I've done everything I wanted except win a U.S. national championship, so that's the trophy I've decided to come back for. That's my goal for this year."

Speedway racing is a close cousin to Flat Track racing with the key exceptions that Speedway bikes have custom-made frames, specialty engines and no brakes.

Larsen has taken part in some non-points warm-up races in the preseason and has won a lot of heats and finished no worse than fourth in the main events.

"I'm still working out the bugs and trying to get the feel for racing again," Larsen said. "There's two different national championships, the SRA and the AMA National. I'll be going after both this year.

Josh Larsen

"The one I want to win the most is the SRA because it's centered around the Costa Mesa track, which is the mecca of our sport. It's the most prestigious in our sport and the one I most want to win."

Larsen's title hunt begins Saturday at Costa Mesa Speedway. Gates open at 6 p.m. with racing starting at 7:30 p.m.

Motorcycle-Superstore.com brings holeshot award to AMA Pro Motocross Championship MEDFORD, Ore. (May 9) - Being out of the gate first can add up to big money for riders in the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship, which will kick off May 18 at the Hangtown MX Classic in Sacramento, Calif., because Motorcycle-Superstore.com will again stake the holeshot award for both the 450cc and 250cc classes.

"The holeshot is such a vital part of success in a motocross race," said Motorcycle Superstore Director of Sports Marketing Tim Clark. "We're adding a little extra incentive for the riders out there, which we think will add to the fun and excitement for the fans."

In a switch from conventional holeshot awards, this year's riders will have a chance to collect four points per race in each of the 12 stops on the outdoor circuit this year. Moto 1 will be worth one point, Moto 2 will be worth two, and a rider who sweeps both holeshots will get a bonus point. The rider with the most points at the end of the season will collect the bonus money, which is $25,000 for the 450cc class and $15,000 for the 250cc class.

"Sponsoring the holeshot awards have become a signature feature for Motorcycle Superstore," Clark said. "We've made our mark in prestigious amateur races like the Loretta Lynn's and the Ricky Carmichael race in Daytona and we wanted to bring that same excitement to the pro level."

The Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship season gets underway next Saturday at the Hangtown MX Classic and will conclude Aug. 24 at the Lake Elsinore National in Lake Elsinore, Calif.

Brayton becomes high-profile face of MotorcycleSuperstore.com, Bell Helmets

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (May 10) - The Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship season hasn't started yet, but 450cc rider Justin Brayton already has been turning heads with his new Motorcycle-Superstore.com Bell Helmet.

"The look of the helmet is pretty awesome," Brayton said. "I'm excited to be wearing it. I actually wore it at the Supercross finale in Las Vegas. With one side white and the other blue, it kind of looks like you are wearing two different helmets. I've actually confused a couple of people at first, but their overall reaction has been, 'That helmet is awesome.'"

Tim Clark, Director of Sports Marketing for Motorcycle Superstore, said he's happy to have Brayton as part of the team for motocross season.

"Motorcycle Superstore is proud to be associated with a high-caliber rider like Justin," Clark said. "Both on and off the track, Justin demonstrates all the qualities we want to be associated with. Being part of his team will make the 2013 motocross season that much better."

Brayton will be donning the helmet starting with Saturday's season opener on his Toyota JGR Yamaha in Hangtown, a race Brayton has devoted a lot of preparation time to over the past month.

"The last four weeks of the Supercross season, I never rode on a Supercross track during the week," Brayton said. "My riding was all aimed at motocross. With only one weekend between the end of Supercross and the start of motocross, I wanted to get ahead of the game.

"I've felt like in the past, I've come into Hangtown unprepared, because I didn't do much testing until the very end of indoor season. This year I'm more prepared than I've ever been for Hangtown. I've never had a podium there before, so that's my goal for the race."

Justin Brayton

Brayton said he'll ride with more confidence knowing he's got Bell Helmets and Motorcycle Superstore in his corner.

"For me, Bell is the best helmet out there," Brayton said. "I always try to surround myself with great sponsors, and with Motorcycle-Superstore.com and Bell Helmets, I'm with two of the best."

Pat Houlihan, Sports Marketing Manager for Bell Helmets, is thrilled to continue his budding relationship with Brayton. "I started working with Justin at the beginning of the year when he started wearing our Bell Moto-9. In that short period of time he's proven to be a very talented rider with the dedication it takes to be successful. Plus, he's an all-around great guy. I can't wait to see him tear it up during the outdoor seasonin his new Superstore Moto-9."

Practice for the Red Bull Hangtown Motocross Classic gets under way at 8:30 a.m. PDT, Saturday, from Prairie City ORV Park. Opening ceremonies start at 12:40 p.m. FUEL TV will air Moto 1 starting at 4 p.m.

EDT while air time for Moto 2 has yet to be announced.

Maguire's comfortable California cruise lands MotorcycleSuperstore.com pro in winner's circle STOCKTON, Calif. (May 12) - The long layoff from the start of the Pro Flack Track season certainly didn't bother Pro Singles rider Wyatt Maguire, who erased a so-so start to the season with a big win Saturday night at the Stockton Half-Mile at San Joaquin County Fairgrounds.

"It's been so long since we rode last," Maguire said of the two-month layoff. "At first it didn't really feel like a Grand National event because we were all just trying to get back to the feel of things again."

It didn't take Maguire very long to knock off the rust and pick up some Motorcycle-Superstore.com Bell Helmet bonus money in the winner's circle. He said it was helpful that his team didn't have to do much to his bike to make it quick.

"The bike was hooking up really well right out of the trailer," Maguire said. "We made just one change all night, which was adding one tooth for the main. We played around a little with air pressure at the beginning of the night but that's about it.

"You usually don't get to unload and pretty much have everything set up perfectly right from the start so I was able to get comfortable right away."

Maguire did have to work for his win after getting shuffled back at the start of the main event.

"I had kind of a crummy start," Maguire said. "We were all bunched up in Turns 1 and 2, which isn't ideal.

When we got to Turn 3 I was probably about fifth so I started to ride the outside and managed to pick up a few spots.

"After that I started to move my line down and passed the other two guys. Then once I got up front I did my best to stay smooth, keep my head down and two-wheel all the way round the track."

With the victory, Maguire moved into a tie for the Pro Singles lead with fellow Motorcycle-Superstore.com Bell Helmet rider and Daytona winner Kyle Johnson, who finished third on the night.

Up next for the riders in the AMA Pro Flack Track Series presented by J&P Cycles, is a May 26 date with the Springfield Mile at the Illinois State Fairgrounds in Springfield, Ill.

Yorba overcomes injury to score another victory for Motorcycle-Superstore.com

TAFT, Calif. (May 12) - Motorcycle-Superstore.com Bell Helmet rider Eric Yorba literally held on as tight as he could to win Sunday's WORCS Pro 2 race at Honolulu Hills.

Just after the halfway point of the race, Yorba hit a slick spot on a technical section of the race and flipped over the bars of his KTM. The bike was undamaged in the crash, Yorba's hands, however were a different story.

"They really soaked the endurocross sections of the track so the logs were super slippery," Yorba said. "I went to try and double one and my front wheel didn't make it all the way. I went over the bars and smashed my fingers a little bit.

"On one hand I could only grip with three fingers and pretty much just the thumb on my other hand. It got really hard to hold on, especially towards the end when the track started getting really rough. I had to grip with everything I had, what I could with my hands and a lot with my legs."

Other than the discomfort from racing with busted up fingers, the race was pretty smooth for Yorba.

"I got the holeshot out of everyone in Pro and the Pro 2s," Yorba said. "I ran first overall for the first lap and a half but then I gave it up to some Pro riders because I didn't want to get in the get in the way too much.

"After I went over the bars, I decided to focus on my race and not try to keep pace with the Pros for the overall win."

It's Yorba's fourth win in five events this season. He was able to marginally extend his points lead over second-place Ty Tremaine, a fellow rider with the Motorcycle Superstore Bell Helmet sponsorship.

Ty Tremaine and Eric Yorba celebrate in the winner's circle.

"It was a bit of a struggle but I was able to make through the rest of the race," said Yorba, who also won the 450A race Saturday. "I was able to get the points lead back at the last race and maintain it this round."

Tremaine worked his way through some adversity himself Sunday on the way to a second-place finish in Pro 2.

He rode the race just days after injuring his shoulder in the GEICO Motorcycle AMA Pro EnduroCross season opener in Las Vegas.

"I dislocated my shoulder at EnduroCross," Tremaine said. "So I wanted to make sure I stayed healthy this weekend. This race was all about holding points and staying strong. I had to make sure I'm good for the rest of the summer.

"I had a good race -- no crashes -- and just rode with my head."

The next stop in the WORCS Series won't be until July 12-14 at Pala Raceway in Pala, Calif.

Webb among Motorcycle-Superstore.com riders competing at Enduro X in Barcelona

BARCELONA, Spain (May 14) - If the year's first stop for the Global X Games in Brazil was a voyage into the unknown for all of the Motorcycle-Superstore.com Bell Helmet Enduro X riders, Friday's race in Spain is just as exotic, if not a little more familiar.

"At least I've been to Barcelona to race a few times before," said top rider Cody Webb. "It's a beautiful city.

This time I won't be by myself. Usually I'm there all by my lonesome, but I've got some of my Enduro brothers and sisters with me this time so we'll probably hang out for a few days after."

Webb's Motorcycle-Superstore.com Bell Helmet teammates Maria Forsberg, Kacy Martinez, Bryan Roper, Ryan Sandoval and Gary Sutherlin are all scheduled to make the trip across the Atlantic for the race.

"Enduro in Europe is huge compared to here in the States," Webb said. "In the races I've attended in the past, the crowds were nuts. With a big, huge arena and X Games backing us, I think the atmosphere is going to be super exciting."

The course will be inside Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys and, like in Brazil, larger than the arena-sized layouts in the GEICO Motorcycle AMA Pro EnduroCross Series.

"I have changed up my training a little before this event," Webb said. "Normally I'll ride endurocross on my personal track at home but this time I've been spending extra time doing motos on a motocross track.

"On a bigger track, trials guys like me aren't accustomed to that kind of speed. I'm trying to get as much aggression and speed as I can leading up to Barcelona."

The top female endurocross rider in the world, Forsberg also is looking forward to the challenge this weekend.

"The last race was a real learning experience," Forsberg said. "I'm excited for Spain and excited to see the track. The biggest challenge in Brazil was how much the track got wet as the night went on.

"It's going to be interesting to see how this track responds. You never know how the track will weather all the changes as the night goes on. I'm excited to see how it all unfolds."

Coverage of Enduro X racing starts at 10 a.m. EDT Friday on ESPN.

Motorcycle-Superstore.com rising star Canfield enjoys helping other young riders discover the sport

MEDFORD, Ore. (May 16) - Jazzmyn Canfield may only be 12 years old, but the youngest member of the Motorcycle-Superstore.com Bell Helmet stable already is giving back to her new motocross family.

When not racing, Jazzmyn is often at the track near her central Florida home teaching younger motorcyclists the ins and outs of riding dirt bikes.

"I like teaching other kids, especially other girls," Jazzmyn said. "It reminds me of when I was growing up.

We need more women pros out there. It would be awesome if there were a lot more girls racing."

Jazzmyn is a bit of a phenom in a sport where talent is nourished at a young age. She regularly competes (and wins) against boys and has made a name for herself in national amateur competition.

"When I race against boys, I know they think they'll be able to push me around," she said. "I know I need to be a little more aggressive."

Her father Martin Canfield comes from a motorcycle background but not the world of motocross. His specialty was tricks and stunts on street bikes, but all that changed when Jazzmyn was 4 years old.

"I was into stunting and had a little Honda 50cc to warm up on," he said. "When she was 4 she asked to ride it. When she got on it, she just naturally knew how to do everything.

"A couple of weeks later all my bikes were sold and I had her on her own bikes. After she just turned 5, we entered her in a local race against 16 boys and she finished second."

Martin said they are fortunate to live in their area of the country because there are a lot of tracks and a lot of top talent around to help push Jazzmyn to new heights.

"We live close to the Goerke family," Martin said. "They're just a few miles from us, so we are at their track a lot. There are a handful of other pros that live within 15 or 20 minutes of us."

Riding motorcycles is something Jazzmyn has loved since that first day.

"I have always had a real passion for it," she said. "I seem to have the skill set for it and I like the feeling of being free on a bike. I look forward to the training and everything it takes to race. My favorite race is the Loretta's (Loretta Lynn's National Amateur). The track is really good and I have had good luck there.

"I really want to keep riding and turn pro. Racing is something I want to do my whole life."

Two more Global X Games medals earned

by Motorcycle-Superstore.com riders

BARCELONA, Spain (May 18) - Led once again by medalists Cody Webb and Maria Forsberg, a competitive group of Motorcycle-Superstore.com Bell Helmet riders had another solid showing in Global X Games action Saturday at Barcelona Olympic Stadium.

Webb earned his second consecutive X Games medal in the men's Enduro X competition, following a runner-up finish in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil, with a bronze medal result in Barcelona.

In the women's race, Motorcycle Superstore's Maria Forsberg grabbed another silver by coming in second to Spanish favorite Laia Sanz, who has now won two Global X Games in a row.

Webb finished second in Heat 2 to advance to the final, where he battled some of the top outdoor riders in the world.

Webb held down fourth place for much of the race despite a hard fall that left his back scratched up.

Fortunately for him, Webb didn't lose a position in the crash and eventually passed multi-time EnduroCross champion Taddy Blazusiak on the final lap to secure third place.

Motorcycle Superstore's other rider that earned a position in the Men's Final, Gary Sutherlin, finished seventh overall. He was sixth in his heat before ralling to finish fourth in the last-chance qualifier to make the final.

Bryan Roper was ninth in Heat 1 before finishing seventh in the LCQ, while Ryan Sandoval was 11th in Heat 2 and 11th in the LCQ. Neither man advanced to the final.

Cody Webb

Forsberg, a two-time X Games champ, was second in the Women's Enduro X seeding sessions and raced at the front of the field for most of the main event. Forsberg now has two silvers in two X Games events in 2013.

Kacy Martinez got the holeshot on the Women's Enduro X field when a group of riders slammed together in the first turn. She eventually raced to a fifth-place finish.

Fast Fridays win sweet redemption for Motorcycle-Superstore.com pro Larsen

AUBURN, Calif. (May 18) - The comeback trail was long and rough for Motorcycle-Superstore.com Bell Helmet rider Josh Larsen. But going to victory lane Friday night at Fast Fridays Motorcycle Speedway made 20-plus months of rehab all worthwhile.

Larsen suffered Achilles and heel injuries in a crash at Fast Fridays two seasons ago. But he made a triumphant return Friday night with a victory in the scratch Main Event.

"It was awesome," Larsen said. "The last time I was at that track was when I got injured, and I was out almost two years. Coming back to that track and having a good night like I did was a little bit of redemption. I was over the moon, to say the least."

Two years ago, Larsen suffered a severed Achilles tendon and a shattered heel in the wreck and needed nine surgeries before he was able to ride again. Friday's race was one of his first since his return to action earlier this year.

"It was a long process of healing," Larsen said. "The season started a few weeks ago, and the first couple of races were just getting my feet wet again and getting my confidence back on the bike. Last night, everything clicked, and it felt really good to have everything work. It was really nice."

Larsen, of La Verne, Calif., raced twice at the 1/8th-mile Fast Fridays track, with the Handicap Main Event serving as the first race. He won his semifinal race and then Josh Larsen finished second in the six-lap Main, which features a staggered start with more experienced riders starting behind less experienced ones.

On the Scratch side of the program, Larsen won his heat race and then finished second in the semi to take the No. 2 gate from the inside. In the four-lap Main, Larsen got a decent start and was second around the first turn. But that didn't last long.

"Charlie Venegas made a little bit better start and he kind of pushed me out wide into the dirt," Larsen said. "I just left it out there and actually got around him. Then I came back down to the inside and slammed the door on him."

Larsen then led the remainder of the race to score the victory. He faced a tough field at Fast Fridays, as several top riders from southern California were in town for a race that was postponed Thursday.

"It was kind of a stacked field," Larsen said. "We had all the best riders from northern California and all the best riders from southern California. It was really nice to go up there and do well, especially coming off an injury. It's nice to get back into the top rankings so fast.

"Thanks to the promoters and the fans at Fast Fridays. They're always great to us, with accommodations and everything. They're really good to us. Of course, a big thanks to Motorcycle Superstore and Bell Helmets as well."

Stewart takes early lead in Motorcycle Superstore Holeshot Championship SACRAMENTO, Calif. (May 18) -- World champion motocross rider James Stewart began the chase for the 2013 Motorcycle-Superstore.com Holeshot Championship by sweeping both 450 motos at Saturday's Red Bull Hangtown Motocross Classic in northern California. In doing so, Stewart earned the maximum of four points in the season-long chase, which will be conducted at all 12 events on the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship tour.

In 250 action, Blake Baggett and Zach Bell each earned holeshots, Baggett in Moto 1 and Bell in Moto 2.

"I did exactly what I wanted to do in both motos," said Stewart, who finished both 450 races in third place on his Yoshimura Suzuki for an overall third-place ranking. "I'm really, really happy to get both holeshots and I'm pretty pleased with how the races went today, especially after not racing outdoors last year.

"What Motorcycle Superstore has done in bringing back the Holeshot Championship is very cool. I want to thank those guys a bunch."

Riders in both the 450 and 250 categories will have a chance to earn points in each of the 24 motos on the schedule. Moto 1 holeshot winners earn one point, Moto 2 winners earn two points, and any rider that claims both holeshots in one day gets a bonus point. At the end of the season, the top rider in each class will win the Motorcycle Superstore Holeshot Championship and a large cash reward -- $25,000 for the 450 champ and $15,000 for the 250 titlist.

After finishing 19th in Moto 1, Bell had the throttle of his GEICO Honda CRF250R pinned in Moto 2, taking the first turn in first place and earning two points in the process. The move put him in the early lead over Baggett in the points standings. Baggett earned the first holeshot on his Monster Energy Kawasaki and was awarded one point.

"I had a really strong start (in Moto 1) and it was kind of a surprise to get the holeshot because that's not normally something that happens for me," Baggett said. "It just all came together here in Hangtown and I'm really excited about that."

In racing action, Baggett had a much better day, finishing in third and second for an overall second-place result. After earning his holeshot in Moto 2, Bell failed to finish the second race, pulling off the track just past the midway point of the race.

Rider James Stewart swept both holeshots in 450 action at Hangtown.

Barcia's quick starts in Denver move him into lead of Motorcycle-Superstore.com Holeshot Championship DENVER (May 25) -- Justin Barcia didn't get a victory Saturday at the Rockwell Watches Thunder Valley Nationals but his lightning-quick starts in both motos put him atop the Motorcycle-Superstore.com Holeshot Championship standings after two events in the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross tour.

By sweeping both holeshots on his Muscle Milk Honda, Barcia earned a bonus point that pushed his total for the day to four points. That moves him into a tie for first-place with James Stewart, who claimed both holeshots one week ago in the season opener.

"It's great to get both holeshots today," Barcia said. "My starts are something I've been working on a lot and the money that Motorcycle Superstore has put up gives me a lot of extra motivation to keep after it.

"I wish I could have converted those holeshots into wins today but I ended up third and fourth in the two motos for an overall finish of third place, so that's pretty decent. I'm definitely going to continue working on my starts because I want to win the holeshot title, and there are some other areas I need to work on also. I want some wins."

Riders in both the 450 and 250 categories have a chance to earn points in each of the 24 motos on the outdoor schedule. Moto 1 holeshot winners earn one point, Moto 2 winners earn two points, and any rider that claims both holeshots in one day gets a bonus point. At the end of the season, the top rider in each class will win the Motorcycle Superstore Holeshot Championship and a large cash reward -- $25,000 for the 450 champ and $15,000 for the 250 titlist.

In 250cc action, the first four holeshots of the year have been claimed by four different riders, keeping the early rankings very close. Zach Osborne of the GEICO Honda team and Jeremy Martin of MyPlash Yamaha claimed Saturday's two holeshots, Osborne in Moto 1 and Martin in Moto 2.

Currently, Zach Bell and Martin share the lead in the rankings with two points each, while Osborne and Blake Baggett are tied for third with one point apiece.

"You always want to get the holeshot because it sets up the rest of the race," Osborne said after Moto 1. "And now, with that money on the line, everyone is thinking about it that much more. Thanks to Motorcycle Superstore for putting that bonus in place.

"I felt really good in both motos today and the start in the first one was just perfect. I wanted to double-up and get the bonus point but it was really crowded up front. I'm still really happy with the way I rode overall so we'll take this momentum and go to Tennessee and try to keep it up."

The next chance to earn points in the Motorcycle-Superstore.com Holeshot Championship comes next Saturday with the Built Ford Tough Tennessee Nationals at Muddy Creek Raceway.

Motorcycle-Superstore.com pros Tickle, Brayton hoping familiarity breeds success BLOUNTVILLE, Tenn. (May 27) - As the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship shifts from the Rocky Mountains to the Great Smoky Mountains, Motorcycle-Superstore.com rider Broc Tickle is going to enjoy every advantage he can at Saturday's inaugural Built Ford Tough Tennessee National at Muddy Creek Raceway.

Tickle, who rides a 450cc Dodge/Sycuan Casino RCH Suzuki, got his amateur start racing on East Coast tracks, including Muddy Creek.

"I rode at this track all the way through my amateur career," Tickle said. "Going there brings back good memories of good rides, so I'm looking forward to it."

Tickle doesn't expect the track to quite fit his amateur memories, but he believes it won't take him very long to get reacquainted with the hilly course.

"The track is going to be totally different," Tickle said. "But it's still going to be cool to be back at the facility that I've been racing at since I was 5 years old."

Tickle is 14th in the 450cc points standings after a 15th-place finish last week in Denver.

"I've not started the way I have wanted," Tickle said. "But I feel like if I get a good start, it'll turn things around."

Motorcycle Superstore's other motocross star, Justin Brayton, is also hoping that more familiar surroundings help him break out of the funk in which he started his season.

"I live in Charlotte, so this race is only a couple of hours away. I'm excited about it," Brayton said. "I'm going to get to ride the track on Thursday, which is something I'm looking forward to.

"We've not had a good race yet and we're hoping we can turn it around this weekend. We're all good on the bike. I just need to get out of the gate better."

Brayton and his Toyota JGR Yamaha are 21st in the 450cc standings after two events.

Practice for the Built Ford Tough Tennessee National gets under way at 8:30 a.m. EDT Saturday at Muddy Creek Raceway with opening ceremonies at 12:40 p.m. NBC Sports Network will broadcast Moto 1 live starting at 1 p.m. EDT and FUEL TV will air Moto 2 at 3 p.m.

Control of Motorcycle-Superstore.com Holeshot Championship seized by Barcia

BLOUNTVILLE, Tenn. (June 1) -- Rising motocross superstar Justin Barcia moved into sole possession of first place in the Motorcycle-Supserstore.com Holeshot Championship standings with a great start in Moto 2 at Saturday's Built Ford Tough Tennessee National at Muddy Creek Raceway.

Barcia, who led the way into the first turn in both 450cc motos last weekend in Denver, ceded the first holeshot of the day to Ryan Villopoto, but responded with a great reaction in the afternoon race aboard his Muscle Milk Honda CRF450R. He now has six points overall, two more than second-place James Stewart.

Villopoto entered the hunt with the one point he earned in Moto 1 on his Monster Energy Kawasaki KX450F. "I've gotten three of the last four holeshots and that's not too bad at all," said Barcia, who finished the day in second place overall after two runner-up results. "I've been working really hard on my starts and it's cool to see that hard work pay off.

"I'm stoked to be in the points lead by myself. The bonus money that Motorcycle Superstore puts up for this deal makes me that much more focused on every start. It's like a little extra incentive, and I thank them for it."

Points for the lucrative MotorcycleSupserstore.com Holeshot Championship are earned in each of the 24 motos on the outdoor schedule. Riders in both 450 and 250 competition are eligible. The Moto 1 holeshot is worth one point, the Moto 2 holeshot is worth two points, and any rider that sweeps both holeshots at the same event gets another bonus point. At the end of the year, the top points earner in 450 competition pockets $25,000, with their 250 counterpart earning $15,000.

The early-season parity in the 250 class remains with GEICO Honda teammates Justin Bogle and Eli Tomac splitting Saturday's two motos. There have now been six different holeshot winners in the first six 250 motos of the year.

Justin Barcia

Since Tomac earned the second moto points on his GEICO Honda CRF250R, he is now in a three-way tie with Zach Bell and Jeremy Martin with a total of two points for the season. Bogle, Blake Baggett and Zach Osborne are close behind with one point each.

"It's great to finally get a decent start," said Tomac, who like Barcia finished second on the day with finishes of fourth and first. "The GEICO Honda hooked up real nice and the guys from Dunlop gave us the perfect tires. I got that holeshot and just stayed out front the whole race. The holeshot was the difference.

"The points are really close and I know everyone's talking about the money Motorcycle Superstore has posted. We all want that check at the end of the year. Hopefully, I get two more great starts in High Point and take the lead."

The Lucas Oil Motocross Championship heads north for next Saturday's GEICO High Point National in Pennsylvania.

Motorcycle Superstore Holeshot Championship points after three events: 450 class -- 1. Justin Barcia, 6 points; 2. James Stewart, 4; 3. Ryan Villopoto, 1 250 class -- 1t. Zach Bell, 2 points; 1t. Jeremy Martin, 2; 1t. Eli Tomac, 2; 4t. Blake Baggett, 1; 4t. Justin Bogle, 1; 4t. Zach Osborne, 1

Alexander uses crafty drafting to win MotorcycleSuperstore.com SuperSport race in Wisconsin

ELKHART LAKE, Wis. (June 1) - Corey Alexander held off a hard-charging Stefano Mesa to win Saturday's Motorcycle-Superstore.com SuperSport race during the Subway SuperBike Doubleheader at Road America, part of the GEICO Motorcycle AMA Pro Road Racing Series.

Alexander and his National Guard/Celtic Racing Suzuki pulled away from the pack to beat Mesa's Motosport.com Yamaha by just a little more than a second. Jeffrey Tigert and his Baby Appleseed Yamaha finished third to round out the podium.

"It's been a while since my first win, so it feels good to be back up here," Alexander said. "My team gave me a bike that was good right off the bat. We had a good, clean race with some passing and battling."

Alexander kept one eye on the track and one behind him during his final trip around the course.

"I didn't know what to expect on that last lap," Alexander said. "I felt like I was a little faster than Stefano in some spots, then he'd just draft back by me. He passed me going into Turn 5, when I thought I had a little bit of a gap going into there.

"Going up the last hill, I knew I would hear him if he was in position to draft by me. Thankfully I didn't hear him on the final lap and thought he wasn't close enough to get past me."

Mesa's bike wasn't handling 100 percent to his liking, but he was still fast enough to hang with Alexander.

"We had a little trouble with the back coming around on us," Mesa said. "I tried to make a few passes on Corey but wasn't able to make it stick until the last lap. Hopefully I'll have a better day tomorrow."

Tigert got out of the gates first and led early on. He thought he'd bide his time before Alexander and Mesa had other ideas.

"I knew there would be a freight train; I knew the top guys would be around me," Tigert said. "Stefano went around me by Turn 5, which was OK. Then Corey came around me, which got me worried. I just tried to latch on to them. A couple of sections I would gain on them a little, then they were stronger in others.

"I knew I was in a cat and mouse situation with them and was hoping one of them would make a mistake. I didn't want to throw away a good finish with a mistake of my own."

Motorcycle Superstore rider Devon McDonough flirted with a Top 10 finish for most of the day but lost a couple of positions on the final lap after developing a mechanical issue on his Motorcycle-Superstore.com Yamaha.

The Motorcycle-Superstore.com SuperSport class will kick off again at 10:15 a.m. CDT on Sunday at Road America.

Alexander doubles-up in Motorcycle-Superstore.com SuperSport action at historic Road America

ELKHART LAKE, Wis. (June 2) -- Corey Alexander edged fellow teenage sensation Stefano Mesa for the second day in a row Sunday to complete a weekend sweep of the Motorcycle-Superstore.com SuperSport category at Road America.

Unlike Saturday when he beat Mesa by a relatively comfortable 1.118 seconds, Alexander crossed the finish line just .012 seconds ahead of his rival this time in a breathtaking three-way photo finish. Tomas Puerta ended up third, just one-thousandth of a second behind Mesa.

"We changed positions so many times, it was tough to remember everything that happened," Alexander said.

"I could have been first, and I could have been fifth. I was glad to win it. Everyone in the top five had an awesome race.

"The bike was great all weekend, and we have some momentum going into Barber."

Alexander's performance at this weekend's Subway SuperBike Doubleheader offered a measure of redemption from the season opener in Daytona, where the National Guard Suzuki rider followed up a disappointing 14th-place finish on Day 1 with an improved third-place result in Day 2. He is now second in the Motorcycle Superstore SuperSport points, six back of Mesa.

Motosport.com Yamaha pro Mesa, meanwhile, has now finished on the podium in three of four SuperSport races, including a victory in the first Daytona race.

"It was a solid weekend with the new team," Mesa said. "Two second-place finishes is good. It was a good fight again today. All five of us out there were riding strong. My hat is off to the others."

Coming off a victory in the second Daytona race, Puerta rode his RoadRace Factory Yamaha to fourth and third place finishes this weekend.

Travis Wyman from Harv's Harley-Davidson and Jeffrey Tigert of the Baby Appleseed team were fourth and fifth Sunday, respectively. Wyman is now third in the championship points.

The top five riders finished the race within 0.425 seconds of one another in a race that was red-flagged and postponed until later in the day after a scary pile-up during a restart at the regularly scheduled time.

Motorcycle-Superstore.com's Davis charges through mud to score first podium finish of GNCC season

MILLFIELD, Ohio (June 3) - Sometimes it takes something going wrong before finding the correct approach to make it right. Just ask Motorcycle-Superstore.com Bell Helmet rider Nick Davis.

At the Wiseco John Penton GNCC event at Sunday Creek Raceway, Davis took an early spill off his FAR Factory Husqvarna in the XC2 Pro Lites class before regrouping, passing a lot of bikes, and finishing second overall, his first podium of the season.

"It had rained all Saturday night, so it was pretty sloppy out there," Davis said. "I got off to a decent start but got tangled up with a guy, which left me second-to-last by the time I got going again."

The drop through the ranks only made Davis more determined.

"I decided to just put my head down and charge," Davis said. "By the end of the first lap, I was up to sixth. In the next lap I got into third. By the time I worked my way into second, I just kind of rode my own race after that. The bike worked so well and everything was smooth."

He finished in 3 hours, 12 minutes, 29 seconds. Grant Baylor was the winner with a time of 3:08:57.

For Davis, it was a great way to return from an injury that had slowed him down.

"I thought it was pretty good considering I broke my foot earlier in the year," Davis said. "For my first GNCC event of the year, I was pretty happy with second place."

In the Women class, Motorcycle-Superstore.com Bell Helmet riders Maria Forsberg and Kacy Martinez reignited their season-long duel for dominance in their class.

This time it was Forsberg who came out the winner in 1:56:35 with Martinez crossing the line second in 2:00:53.

"It was tough out there this weekend," Forsberg said. "But I really like the mud, so it was fun for me. It was very slippery.

"I've been training really hard and pushing myself this year, and it has really been paying off at races like this one."

With the victory, Forsberg pulled within a point of Martinez's lead in the class. Forsberg has won five of the seven Women races this year and Martinez has won once and finished second at every other race.

The next GNCC series race is the June 15-16 Mountaineer Run at Marvin's Mountain Top in Masontown, W.Va. --30-Motorcycle-Superstore.com is the leading online retailer in the motorcycle and powersports industry.

Motorcycle-Superstore.com's McDonough taking big steps forward at every SuperSport race

ELKHART LAKE, Wis. (June 4) - During last weekend's Subway SuperBike Doubleheader, Motorcycle-Superstore.com rider Devon McDonough figured out how to get with the lead pack of riders in the Motorcycle-Superstore.com SuperSport class; now the next step is to find the key to stay there.

McDonough finished just outside the top 10 (12th on Saturday and 11th on Sunday) and learned a quick lesson on how to ride with the best in the class.

"Sunday I got a good start and was running toward the front during the first four laps," McDonough said. "At that point another rider passed me in the corner, we made contact, and I went off course, which sent me back five or six spots.

"It was good to run up front, even if it was for just a little while. Now I know what to expect when I get back up front. I know it's going to be a lot more aggressive than how I usually ride."

The 17-year-old has been soaking up all of the knowledge he can every time he hits the track on his Motorcycle-Superstore.com Yamaha.

"In my first season last year, my whole focus was learning these tracks that I have never been to before," McDonough said. "It was difficult to be competitive when you are trying to figure out the track you are racing on.

Now that this past weekend and Daytona went all right, I expect that I'll do better at every race I go to.

"I believe I'll start riding better because I'll set my expectations higher. My first time at Barber (Motorsports Park) I did pretty good, so I'm really excited to see what I can do there now that I am more comfortable and confident on the bike."

While this race-to-race progress has been a great confidence-builder, McDonough has been careful not to expect it all to fall into place at once.

"It's hard to take it one step at a time but it's what you've got to do," McDonough said. "It was real exciting to ride up there, but I didn't know what it would be like when I got there.

"Now I have a better feeling for how aggressive I need to be and how much more I can push to race with those guys."

McDonough's next chance to evolve as a rider will be at the June 21-23 Triumph SuperBike Classic at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Ala.

Motorcycle-Superstore.com's Lanza duels with the dust, comes out on top

ANZA, Calif. (June 5) - Motorcycle-Superstore.com Bell Helmet rider Jamie Lanza has been a part of some challenging races during his time in the Big 6 Grand Prix Series, but the most recent stop at The Ranch was one for the books.

Lanza had another solid weekend, guiding his Husqvarna to wins in the WCGP 86-200 Expert and 86-200 LWT-II Expert classes and a third overall finish in the final day of competition. The combination of high temperatures and bone-dry conditions made Lanza's ride one of the toughest of his career.

"It was crazy," Lanza said. "I don't know what happened Saturday but it was just hot, well over 100 degrees.

On Sunday they ran out of water in the water trucks, which made it even worse with the incredible amount of dust we had to work with."

According to Lanza, the dust was impenetrable on the open course, especially when trailing another rider, and that left only one spot to pass on the entire course.

"Once you caught the riders in front of you, you pretty much couldn't see," Lanza said. "You'd just have to follow their dust and then when you got to the motocross track, you had about two minutes to make a pass before you were on the off-road section again.

"If you weren't able to make a pass there, it was follow the leader unless you wanted to take some big chances."

There were spots where the cloud of dirt was so thick that even forward progress was a chance too risky to take.

"You didn't need to have a great start, but you had to be leading when you got to the off-road section," Lanza said. "That was my main concern. From there you had to be careful because there were a lot of square edges.

"On Saturday there was once section where I was rolling along the course with my feet off the pegs, and I went off the track and I crashed. There were a couple of times where it was so silty and the wind was calm that you had to wait and let the dust settle unless you were going crazy."

Giant clouds of dust won't be as much of an issue this weekend when Lanza goes indoors on Saturday to race in the GEICO Motorcycle AMA Pro EnduroCross Series at Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento, Calif. He finished 12th at the season opener in Las Vegas.
