f you’ve been following the 2013 Monster Energy Motocross Nationals, you know the leaders of the MX1 and MX2 classes have a healthy lead, which one could assume they’ll carry through to the final round in Walton. That’s certainly a possibility but in racing you never know. In both classes, the riders have had to work for their wins and points because the faster the leaders go, the faster the pack that chases them becomes. That’s what I’ve seen up to this point – the series regulars are racing faster than they ever have. The racing that goes on within the top ten has been incredible and has made the entertainment value fantastic. The series has experienced several ups and downs, unfortunately at the expense of KTM’s top riders Colton Facciotti and Kaven Benoit, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be riders that will find it within themselves to rise to the top. There are rumours of “ringers” coming in to mix it up with the frontrunners, plus there is a host of fast guys that have chosen to only race the eastern half of the series. The bottom line is the racing will continue to be thrilling and intense. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the teams that are participating in the series, regardless if they operate out of a tractor trailer or the back of a pickup truck. This year, there seems to be more privateer teams that are following the entire series than ever before. I know the amount of effort, aggravation and stress that it takes to put together a team so I’d like to acknowledge everyone’s hard work with appreciation because that is what is making the series a success. A huge amount of the success of the series is due to the support of our sponsors. Monster Energy is not just a valuable sponsor, they are a cherished partner in this series that want to see the sport thrive just as much as every industry insider, racer and enthusiast. Fortunately, motocross is their base with their affiliation with action sports. They have supported the CMRC Canadian Nationals since 2007 and have allowed the sport to take huge steps forward in public recognition and awareness, and attracting new participants to motocross racing. There are no words to express my degree of appreciation. That goes too for the industry companies that have supported this series from the beginning as well. The manufacturers (Honda, Kawasaki, KTM, Suzuki, and Yamaha), Motovan and their participating OEM partners, Royal Distributing, and MXP have all been long time sponsors of the series and have all made a huge investment. They deserve every ounce of return for their dedication to the sport. Ultimately, it’s you the fan that keeps this clock ticking. Our drive and determination to put on a better show is our way of thanking you for coming to the races, trouncing through the dirt and sometimes mounds of mud, and putting up with the sun burns and downpours. You’re in for one good show this year, a year that will go down in history.

COMMON GROUND It’s been a wild 2013 Supercross season so far. Multiple riders have claimed victory in the 450 class, and the 250 series have been just as competitive. Yet throughout this ferocious racing involving many different makes of bikes, these winners all have one factor in common: Even though the Supercross paddock is open to all tire brands, every winner and every rider who has climbed the podium all chose to race on the same brand of tires. Dunlop Geomax tires—the common ground among the best Supercross riders in the world.

Jason Hughes Andy White

Team Manager of KTM’s racing effort, Andy White is a long time student of the sport. From his early Pro racing days, through several privateer efforts of his own with Suzuki and Honda, Andy has been around Canadian motocross for his entire career. He is like every other manager in the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals paddock - a passionate Canadian motocross fan.

Pat O’Connor

Pat O’Connor is the workhorse of the very successful Monster Energy / Leading Edge / Parts Canada / Kawasaki team. Through the week he is the team coordinator and manager, and on race day a full team mechanic. Days off are few and far between for Pat. When he does have the occasional day off, you can often find him…you guessed it, at the track.

Owner of the Monster Energy / Leading Edge / Parts Canada / Kawasaki team, Jason has built his dealership in Kamloops, BC into one of the most recognized shops in Canada. His racing history is one of a champion, but not in motocross - road racing. Hughes is a competitive business man, team owner and wants nothing more than to reclaim the two number one plates his team earned in 2012.

Josh Snider

Only a few short years ago Josh Snider was on the line battling each weekend in the National motocross series. His team, Redemption Racing, has always had a primary purpose on the racing circuit: his motocross ministry starts the day for teams and riders on Sunday mornings before racing. Redemption’s welcoming and supportive approach to all people has made them an important part of the fabric that is Canadian motocross.

Derek Schuster

The youngest of team managers on the series, Derek Schuster and the GDR TLD Honda team have the respect of everyone in the paddock. The team, in a few short years, has worked with a shoe string budget and turned it into a well branded team, capable of challenging for podium finishes each weekend.

John Nelson

There is only one John Nelson in Canadian motocross. He can be fiery and intense, but rational and level headed. More than anything, John Nelson and the Machine Racing crew have a pit area that is a lot of fun. John loves playing up the underdog, but both the team and John love to compete.

Andre Laurin

Andre Laurin didn’t come into motocross with a long history in the sport, but has a passionate love for racing. From a humble start-up team to one of the most powerful motorsport teams in Canada, the Rockstar Energy/ OTSFF/Yamaha/Motovan.com has worked its way forward in a short period of time. Laurin’s riders and staff are just as dedicated to the team as they are to their riders.

Al Jaggard

Al Jaggard was a former top ten National Pro motocrosser in the ‘70s who transformed his passion of motocross into a leading motocross distribution company in the ‘80s. Today Al is instrumental in associating companies like Royal Distributing, Motovan and Marin Bicycles with the CMRC Nationals. He is an open minded competitor who is always looking for new connections to grow the sport.

Iain Hayden

Iain Hayden is one of the few riders to make the transition from professional racer to professional business man in motocross. He is an owner of a successful off-road park, and the Manager of the Rockstar OTSFF Yamaha team. Hayden is a calm force but a fierce competitor who can still lace up the boots and run with the very best.

fan guide What are the classes? The CMRC Monster Energy Motocross Nationals are split into two classes: MX 1 and MX2. The MX1 class competes on the bigger 450cc machines, and the riders are considered to be the premier racers in Canada. You will see names like Brett Metcalfe, Colton Facciotti, Teddy Maier and Bobby Kiniry. The MX1 class motos are 30 minutes plus 2 laps in length. At the end of the series the riders who finish in the top ten in points in the MX1 class determine who gets the numbers 1 through 10 the following year. The MX2 class competes on the smaller 250F machines (F = four-stroke). These riders are generally younger and less experienced than the MX1 riders, although there are exceptions. The MX2 motos are a little shorter, only 25 minutes plus 2 laps, but given the lesser experience of these riders, the racing is quite intense and a little more unpredictable. What brands of bikes do these riders race? There are five major brands of motocross bikes: Kawasaki, Yamaha, KTM, Suzuki and Honda. Even though a sponsor may dictate what colour a rider’s bike is to be, the general rule is that Kawasakis are green, Yamahas are blue, KTMs are orange, Suzukis are yellow, and Hondas are red. Although there might be a few subtle differences between these bikes, they are all great machines. They all use a 5 speed transmissions, the clutch is always located on the left side of the handlebars, the front brake is on the right side of the bars, the rear brake is by your right foot and the gear shifter is by your left foot. They all use a kick starter with the exception of the KTM 450, which has electric start.

Why are the number plates different colours? This determines what class you’re riding. The MX1 class uses black numbers on white plates and the MX2 class uses white numbers on black plates. Occasionally you will see bikes that have black numbers on yellow backgrounds in the MX2 class. These riders normally compete in the amateur Intermediate class but are allowed to try to qualify for the MX2 class. The Women’s class riders use white numbers on a blue background. These colours make it very easy for the lap scorers and fans to identify the class in which each rider competes. Do riders choose their numbers? The numbers from 1 to 99 are assigned to riders based on their overall finish from the previous year. It is mandatory for the riders to have these numbers on their bike. It makes it easy for the fans to know how the riders performed the previous year. From 100 up, the numbers are requested by the riders that did not score enough points in the previous year to be assigned a double digit number. How do the riders choose their starting gate? For each round of the series, the gate pick for the opening moto is determined by the order in which the rider qualified the morning of the race. Each rider has a transponder attached to their bike to electronically record their lap times. On Sunday morning of each national, a timed qualifying session is held for both classes. The rider’s gate choice is determined by the order of their lap times in their respective class (fastest to slowest). For the second moto of the day, gate pick is determined by how the rider finishes in the first moto. It is like a reward system, which is another motivator that encourages the rider to place as high as they can in the first moto.

What does it mean when a rider gets the holeshot? The holeshot goes to the rider who crosses the line at the first turn after the start. This brave, crafty rider gets the prestigious job of leading the pack around the track for as long as he can hold the position, and receives the Royal Distributing Holeshot Award. What do all the flags mean?

The officials use a series of flags to indicate to the riders the different situations that might arise during a race. The green flag, waved at the end of the first lap, means that the race track is clear and everything is a go. However, if the red flag is displayed, this means there has been an accident that needs the attention of the officials or medical crew, and the race needs to be What does the big 30 second stopped. If the red flag is given past the halfboard on the starting line mean? way point of a moto, the race will be concluded This is what is used to start a motocross and the riders will be scored according to their race.

serieschanges ith the 2013 CMRC Monster Energy Motocross Nationals comes many new changes. One of the most exciting rule updates is the allowance of 250cc two-stroke motorcycles in the MX2 ProAm class. This will surely add more excitement to an already stacked and exciting MX2 class. In addition to this key rule change, a new condensed race schedule will allow the day to end one hour earlier than in the past. There has also been a few major series schedule changes. Sand Del Lee is now scheduled in July as opposed to the week before the final round in Walton. This is a particularly positive change as it allows Pro riders more time to travel from New Brunswick to Walton, plus caters to the amateurs that choose to compete at the final round of the Ontario Provincial Championships at Sand Del Lee and still want to be able to start the amateur week at Walton. Another major series schedule change is that Deschambault has been added back to the schedule. The last time the National Series

visited Deschambault was in 2004. This is very exciting as this venue is known for its die-hard fans and exceptional track conditions. Riders and spectators are both thrilled with this news as the Deschambault will also host the ECAN on the same weekend to make for another large Pro/Am event in Canada. This is representative of the healthy growth of the sport in the country. Onsite details will be highlighted even more in the 2013 season. There will be a new digital scoreboard at the finish line to assist fans with keeping track of the top five positions for each lap. In addition to the scoreboard, a new “Royal Distributing Triple Crown Holeshot Award” truss with banners will be located in the first turn. Also, there will be a professional mechanics area set-up with tents from each of the major manufacturers supporting the series. Improved live lap time coverage will make the service more consistent and accessible at each round. It will be available at mobile.cmrcracing.com on your mobile phone, or on the

internet at www.cmrcracing.com. New series t-shirts and hats will be available at the MXP booth at each round too – the best ever! With each national on the schedule, organized press conferences will be held at selected motorcycle dealerships on Saturday morning. There will also be Pro autograph sessions taking place on Saturday afternoons following the Women’s National motos. With the growing importance of social media in everyone’s lives, the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals will be leading an aggressive Facebook campaign that will extend for six months, plus there will be an increased television and radio advertising campaign that will help boost spectator attendance. Ryan Gauld, a social media guru himself, will be the voice of the Nationals for the 2013 series, and will take the role of house announcer each Sunday. There are lots of positive changes that can only make the experience at every national that much more enjoyable.

Eastern tracks

Gopher Dunes

Sand Del Lee

Gopher Dunes represents perhaps the most demanding and grueling stop on the national tour. It is a predator in hiding. When you arrive it is unnaturally smooth, and tame – inviting even. However, by the end of practice the glassy sand turns into large rolling whoops that grow until the final lap of the day, leaving riders feeling exhausted both physically and mentally.

Gopher Dunes falls in the heat of summer in Ontario, and the temperature and humidity are usually high. Mixed with a brutally rough track, riders are tested here. It is incredible to watch riders still charging in the final laps, and for the pure enthusiast who understands the demands of motocross, you cannot help but give a nod of respect to each rider on the track.

Sand Del Lee jumps ahead in the racing schedule from its traditional second to last stop. The facility – track, pits, and spectator areas - is always immaculate and well prepared by the MX101 team for racers. For some reason, this sandy track becomes choppier than the other sand tracks on tour, but still becomes rough and offers few breaks to rid-

ers. The track has a few unique timing sections like “Hell’s Kitchen,” a set of tricky jumps, and some tight switch-backs that give riders passing options in the late stages of the motos. Sand Del Lee has a faithful crowd of loyal fans whose delight is nothing more than home town racers running up at the front of the pack.

Eastern tracks

Deschambault

The third stop in the series, and the final sand track on the schedule, returns to Deschambault. The track is full of large rolling hills, deep sand and of course passionate Quebec motocross fans. As the legend JSR can attest to, hometown heroes are a-plenty in Quebec. For many years, thousands of motocross fans would do whatever they had to do to be at the Quebec round to personally cheer on Jean Sebastian Roy. And, for most of his career, JSR did

Moncton

Moncton is the feel good stop of the Nationals. The welcome riders and teams get on the east coast stop is what makes this event so special. Riverglade is somewhat of a tradition; the track has hosted Canadian Motocross Nationals longer than any other track in the country, and remains relatively unchanged in many parts. The track weaves around the property and is usually lined with shirt-waving fans. There are a few unique sections that send riders down the side of the Trans Canada highway at top speed. Moncton is a fan-friendly event with a great midway, big jumps and a fantastic atmosphere. It is a must hit event for any race fan.

not disappoint his local fans. He now plays a different role in the motocross scene in Quebec, as he is now a track designer, consultant, and builder. The track has undergone many changes over the past couple of years that will make for great racing. The newest addition is the Eastern Canadian Amateur National event leading into the National weekend. Quebec riders often find the extra speed in front of their home crowd and there is no question there will be a boisterous following of any rider from the home province.

Walton

The Grand National Championship ends where CMRC started it National motocross events - Walton, Ontario. “Motocross Town” welcomes amateurs from across Canada for a week of competition and caps it off with the final round of the Monster Energy Motocross Championships. Walton has a long history of motocross events, both small club and national races. The Lee family has always been a part of motocross and this facility, especially with new, state of the art solar buildings, displays their dedication. As the final round, this one certainly boasts the largest dealer presence, local support, food selection, and beer tent options. With many local community groups taking part in this event, in addition to the racers and their families, Walton has a feel of home like no other round on the National schedule. The track can vary, which depends largely on the weather, but one thing riders can count on is large crowds, deep ruts in the corners, and a collective sigh when the checkered flag is tossed in the final moto of the weekend.

Q: Hey Brett, what was going through your head when you found out you were coming up to Canada to ride the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals?

I was definitely excited to come up and get going. For one, it was going to be a brand new experience for me so that’s exciting, and two it has been almost a year since I last raced because of my injuries so I was excited to get back out there. Before the series started I was able to go up to Kamloops and do some testing with the Leading Edge team. It was great to meet everyone and get started. Also, it was good to get a little time on the Kamloops track.

Welcome to the

Great white North

Q: You mentioned your injuries from a big crash last year. How has your leg and wrist healed?

Yes, I had a big one last year which put an end to my 2012 season. My leg is feeling good and is all healed up. My wrist took the longest to heal but it is feeling better now. I took a lot of time off because I wanted to heal up properly and also because my wife and I had our son Nash in August. I wanted to be home all the time so we could get the parenting thing going, but everything is going good and I’m ready for the east. Q: Well, congratulations on becoming a father. Life certainly takes on a whole new meaning after that. So is that why we didn’t see you racing Supercross this year?

Yes for sure, I didn’t want to rush back and not be fully prepared to race. Supercross is tough enough when you’re completely healthy, so we decided that I would take the extra time and do it right. I think we made a good decision and now I’m ready to go. Q: How old are you now?

I am twenty-nine right now so I feel like I am not too old but I also have a lot of experience. Q: I think twenty-nine is the new twentyfour. You’re just coming into your prime.

(laughs) I’d like to think so for sure. I think you’re right though, training is so much better now and we take care of ourselves better so that part of it is a little easier than before. I do feel like my best days are ahead of me so hopefully I can prove that this summer and beyond. Q: With the western part of the series over now, your travel distance is going to be longer. Do you plan on spending a little more time in the east between rounds?

For the first four rounds I just flew home each week so I could ride and train here in California. They’re just short flights so it was all good. Now that the flights are going to be longer I am going to try and spend more time in the east, for sure. I have never seen Eastern Canada so it’s going to be cool to visit.

Q: Now that you‘ve raced on the four western tracks, did they remind you of what you used to ride back in Australia?

The tracks out west were pretty good; I mean two of the four were good. I really enjoyed Kamloops and Calgary. Those tracks were really fun and challenging to race on. The other two were a little different, that’s for sure. When the tracks are like that you just kind of get in and get the job done and move on. I’ve heard nothing but good things about the tracks in the east though. I heard they’re rough and fun to ride. I am really excited to get to these final five rounds. I think I excel in really tough conditions so the east hopefully will be good to us. Q: Going back to the start of this year, how did the deal happen to come to Canada this summer and was it a tough decision?

I actually just got a call from Jason Hughes one day asking me if I’d be interested in coming up to Canada to race. At the time I had a few offers to race the AMA Nationals this summer but when we looked at everything, this was the better option for me. I think if I can have a great summer in Canada and get back to where I was before my crash last year, I think I’ll be in a good position heading into 2014. Q: I know we see it on television and we read about it all the time so maybe we mistakenly think we know what it’s like, but really, how tough is it to race week in and week out on the AMA circuit?

It’s tough, really tough. It’s the pinnacle of our sport and all the top guys race there. As a rider, you’re constantly putting yourself out there, and if you want to be successful you have to constantly ride outside of your comfort zone. Obviously some riders are better at that than others, but it doesn’t matter who you are, it always catches up with you. At this moment in my life, I don’t feel like doing that every weekend. I am coming back from a major injury and I have a new family. I want to race and I want to win, but I want it to be on my terms right now.

Q: During the break between rounds four and five of this series, you made your way to Southwick to race an AMA National and you did really well.

Yes, I decided to go and do Southwick for a few reasons. One, I didn’t want anyone to forget about me down there, and two because that track is the sight of my only AMA National win in 2011. Honestly, the day couldn’t have gone any better. It was fun to race with those guys again, especially on that track. To go there in the middle of their series and finish 5-6 in the motos was great. From racing down there for so long I obviously have a lot of friends so it was good to see everyone and catch up. They all knew how well things have been going in Canada so that made me feel good. Q: I think because you’ve been racing up here and then you decided to go to Southwick, there was certainly a lot of hype surrounding your return to the AMA Nationals, even if it was just for one round.

Oh definitely, a lot of people were talking about it. This is certainly what I hoped for when I signed to race in Canada. I hoped I would be leading the series as it headed east and I hoped that people in the industry on both sides of the border would take notice. This definitely has happened and I’m excited for the remainder of the Canadian series. Q: Well Brett, since you’ve shown out west that the rougher the tracks get, the better you ride, we’re really looking forward to watching you in the east. Good luck in the remaining five rounds of the 2013 Monster Energy Motocross Nationals.

Thanks, I think each round out west we learned things about the bike so hopefully we can apply that to the races in the east and we can continue to put on a good show for the fans.

2013 Monster Energy Motocross Nationals

Will this be the 2013 Monster Energy MX National Champion?

MX1 Preview

efore the 2013 MX1 Series began there was a lot of hype about just how many fast riders would be lining up at the starting gate in Nanaimo. Two riders in particular were supposed to be the standouts: Colton Facciotti and Brett Metcalfe. While Metcalfe certainly has lived up to his billing, Facciotti, well that’s been another story. After dominating the opening round in Nanaimo, BC, Colton looked to be on his way to a successful summer. But at round two in Kamloops while chasing Metcalfe, Facciotti had a small crash. While trying to remount his KTM, he was hit by a few other riders. The result was a broken leg and a long summer ahead on the sidelines. As we head into the final five rounds of the 2013 Monster Energy Motocross Nationals there have been other really good stories to talk about other than Brett Metcalfe’s large points lead. Riders like Teddy Maier, who won a moto at round four in Edmonton, has been steadily improving at each round. Tyler Medaglia is another rider to watch as he has put himself in a great position heading into the eastern tracks he loves so much. Bobby Kiniry has looked to regain his speed after a slow start out west; the tougher the tracks the better Kiniry rides so keep your eye on the big number two. Throw in names like Jeremy Medaglia, Morgan Burger and Gavin Gracyk and you have one of the strongest fields ever heading into round five at Gopher Dunes. Before the 2013 Monster Energy Motocross Nationals began, we asked Ryan Lockhart to give us his predictions for how the first four MX1 rounds in the west would transpire. As the series is set to move east to the land of heat and humidity, we called upon Ryan again for his thoughts on how the final five rounds of the series would shape up.

Top 5

1. Brett Metcalfe: Kawasaki

Metcalfe’s performance so far has been pretty much what I thought it would be. I mean when you look at his credentials, maybe he should be beating everyone by more, but all the top riders in the MX1 class are fast and it hasn’t been easy for him. In watching the first four rounds I’ve noticed that he isn’t just fast but he’s really smart as well. The way he rode in the second moto in Calgary when the track was insanely rutted and rough, that was amazing. So I think he will just get better and stronger as the series moves east where the tracks are really tough. Another thing that has impressed me about Metcalfe is just what a good guy he is. I’ve gotten to know him fairly well; he’s honest and down to earth. I think he is enjoying his time up here and enjoying the series. I think it shows with how he’s been off the track.

2. Teddy Maier: Kawasaki .

I still have Maier to finish second in the MX1 Series. I like what I’ve seen of him so far in the first four rounds. He did seem to struggle a little more than I thought he would in Nanaimo and Kamloops, but judging by how he rode in Calgary and Edmonton, he looks like he has it all figured out. He really has been the fastest guy lately but he hasn’t been able to put two motos together for an overall. It’s good that he has Metcalfe to push him under the Kawasaki tent; that seems to motivate Teddy and bring out the best in him. We’ll see how he can do on the really rough tracks in the east. In 2012, Maier looked like he struggled a little bit in the east so it will be interesting to see how he does. I also like Maier’s consistency, especially when the pressure is really on. He just goes about his business and gets the job done. This is why he is a two-time National Champion. If Metcalfe falters at all then Teddy will be there to jump all over him. The final five rounds will be very interesting with these two battling.

Top 5 3. Bobby Kiniry: Yamaha

I have Bobby Kiniry to finish third simply because the guy is an animal. The rougher the tracks get, the better Bobby Kiniry gets. I think he really struggled in the west on the smoother, hard packed tracks. He sometimes looked like he was over-riding those tracks a little. In the east when it’s hot, humid and guys have trouble, Kiniry is the guy charging late in the moto. I think Kiniry will look at it as a huge disappointment if he doesn’t finish at least second again in the MX1 Championship so look for him to really dig down and put a push on in the final five rounds. We have to remember that Bobby has been racing almost every w eekend since the beginning of the year. I know he loves it, but you have to wonder how fresh he’s feeling on the bike. He lives in New York State so his travel time to races will be a lot shorter, which should help him save some energy for race day.

4. Jeremy Medaglia: Yamaha

Of all my picks so far this is my boldest one, for sure. I will be honest - Jeremy has really impressed me in the first four rounds with his speed and ability to ride that bike. I raced that bike last summer. While those Yamahas are great bikes, they can be a handful sometimes. Jeremy looks as though he has it figured out. He has good style and deep down he really believes that he can win races. He probably would’ve won the second moto in Edmonton if it wasn’t for Metcalfe catching him. As we travel east and the riders get to tracks they like, Jeremy is one of those riders that is really going to do well. He loves the sand, and we have three sand tracks left. He always goes good in Moncton, maybe he struggles at Walton sometimes, but that’s it. I would be very surprised if he doesn’t win at least one moto at one of the remaining rounds.

GOERKE 5. Tyler Medaglia: KTM

In my pre-season picks I had Tyler at three, but after seeing him in the west I am going to put him at five. I don’t know what it is, but he looks as though he’s searching for something. Maybe it’s a bike issue, I don’t know. He had a good round at Kamloops but that’s it. In the other rounds he had good starts but his speed wasn’t there to run with the top guys.

Maybe it’s been the harder packed tracks that he’s struggled with. Hopefully that’s it and he will do really well in the east. He does ride the sand very well so that gives him an advantage at three of the final five rounds. Another thing that might have hurt him in the west is the amount of travel he had to do. He has, by far, logged the most air miles flying back and forth from Nova Scotia each weekend. He won’t have that trouble now so he may be fresher come race day. It would be good to see Tyler win some motos but it’s going to be really tough.

2013 Monster Energy Motocross Nationals

MX2 Preview

s the MX2 series gets ready to begin its final five rounds in Eastern Canada, the chase for the Championship has changed dramatically over the last few weeks. Although Kawasaki rider Austin Politelli is currently in first place with a large points lead over KTM rider Kaven Benoit, in the weeks prior to round five at Gopher Dunes, Benoit crashed while practicing and suffered a broken leg. He will be out for the rest of the season, which drastically eases the pressure on Politelli because it was expected that Benoit was going to make his move up the standings thanks to the sand tracks in the east on which he shines the brightest. This is another huge blow to the KTM team in 2013 as this is the second time this year one of their top riders has exited the series due to injuries. We will miss Kaven at the eastern rounds and we hope for a speedy recovery. The eastern rounds of the 2013 Monster Energy Motocross Nationals are certainly a different animal than the races out west for more than just one reason. First off, the weather in the east is always hotter and more humid, considering the eastern rounds are held in the middle of summer. This is really taxing on the riders as their bodies are pushed to the max. Only the fittest riders will excel in these conditions, which adds an entirely different aspect to each of the final five rounds. Another aspect that is different in the east is the difficultly level of some of the tracks. Three of the final five rounds take place on very tough sand tracks. These tracks get very rough and force the riders to stand up more, therefore it is harder on their bodies throughout each of the 30 minute motos. When you factor in the heat and the toughness of the tracks, many people feel the race for the 2013 MX2 Championship really begins at Gopher Dunes. For his expert predictions, we once again contacted Kyle Beaton for his thoughts. Beaton is from BC and knows exactly what it’s like to step off the plane and feel that oven-like blast of heat and humidity in the Eastern Canadian air. If you’re not prepared for it then the final five rounds of the 2013 Monster Energy MX Nationals are going to be almost impossible to endure. Here are Kyle Beaton’s picks for the final five MX2 rounds:

Top 5 1. Austin Politelli: Kawasaki

In my pre-season picks I had Austin at number three, which was obviously a mistake on my part. So far Austin has done nothing but impress me with his speed and his fitness in the first four rounds. I honestly didn’t think he would be the fastest guy week in and week out. Benoit was close sometimes but not that often. I think in the east Politelli will continue to dominate, especially now that Benoit will be on the sidelines. This kid can ride sand too as you may remember a few years back when Austin just killed everyone at Gopher Dunes. He is tall and fit so I think he really excels in the sand. The final five rounds are sure going to be fun to watch. .

2. Brad Nauditt: Honda

Brad Nauditt has really impressed me so far this summer. He is fit and gets great starts all the time. When you combine those two things, you really can’t go wrong. In the past he hasn’t always been in the best shape, but this year he has been training really hard and it’s showing with his results. Mathematically, he is still in the title chase but he needs to start winning motos. I also think that Brad will be stronger on the eastern tracks because he rides those softer conditions very well. To do well in the east you have to be strong both mentally and physically, and Nauditt is definitely both. His Hondas have been working well and his Cycle North team is really motivated. I expect Nauditt to be a close third in the MX2 Championship.

3. Topher Ingalls: Honda

Before the series started, I knew Topher would be fast but I didn’t know just how fast he would be. So far in the first four rounds his speed has been great; other than Politelli, Topher has been the fastest guy on the track. His luck hasn’t been the best so he is a little behind in the points race, but this kid can let it all hang out, so look out for him on the tough east coast tracks. I know at this point Topher is a long shot to win the MX2 Championship, but he could make things very interesting if he starts to win some motos. He is one of those riders that has a lot of confidence, and he will never back down or quit. He is definitely a wild card in the east. I can’t wait to watch him.

4. Josh Clark: Yamaha

I know one thing, I didn’t expect Josh Clark to ride as well at the western rounds. Usually the riders from Eastern USA only do really well on the softer terrain tracks, but Clark scored some really good results out west. I also didn’t think that he would be the top Yamaha rider at the halfway point of the series. He is making other Yamaha riders like Richard Grey look bad. Last year, Clark did really well in the east so I look for more of the same from him in the final five rounds. He has great style, he is fit and he just quietly goes about his business both on and off the track. I like him and I hope he does really well in the rest of the MX2 series. I doubt he can win a moto, but he certainly will be on the podium a lot in the final ten motos.

Kyle Beaton’s

Top 5 If I had to pick one I would probably say Blake Savage has the best shot. He was injured coming into round one but since then he has become stronger and stronger. His speed is also very good. I think with a healthy wrist he can be a podium guy. The battle for this fifth spot is going to be the best battle on the track as all of these riders will be going for it. Whatever happens in the final five rounds of the 2013 Monster Energy MX Nationals, one thing is for sure - the fans are going to get treated to some great racing at some of the toughest tracks in the world.

5. Blake Savage: Honda

With Benoit out for the season, everyone jumped up one spot in my predictions. That left the number five spot wide open. I think fifth place in the 2013 MX2 series will go to either Jared Allison, Richard Grey or Blake Savage. Whichever of these three riders can step it up and start stringing together some consistent results will finish fifth.

For 2013, the Monster Energy MX Nationals will continue to be broadcast exclusively on Roger’s SportstNet beginning in mid-July. CMRC has put this coverage in place for 19 years to increase exposure of motocross and the off-road industry, creating more tracks, riding areas and bring in more support from outside the industry.

CMRC sanctioned events are the breeding ground for Canada’s amateur motocross athletes. It's the twenty-first year they have showcased professionally ranked riders in the MX1 and MX2 outdoor Nationals. The series has been progressing and changing to adapt to economic developments and hardships. With the support of Monster Energy, CMRC is able to continue to put on one of Canada’s most unique and progressive competition tours in North America that takes riders from one coast to the other. This series is not only made up of riders from Canada, but there are also entries from every corner of the globe. Champions have come from as far away as Scotland and New Zealand.

When it comes to getting the latest news in print or online, MXP has it covered and is your one stop for everything media. The heritage of Canadian Motocross carries a host of respectable championship contenders that MXP has featured to its readers including the likes of Ross Pederson, Jean Sebastian Roy, Carl Vaillancourt and Blair Morgan. These are riders that have proven to be competitive in Canada and the rest of the World. In the last few years, the torch has been passed to new champions such as Colton Facciotti, Dusty Klatt and Tyler Medaglia. All of these riders have endless talent and will no doubt elevate the sport of motocross to even higher levels.

For the opening rounds in Nanaimo, Kamloops, Calgary and Edmonton, our MXP team will be under our 300 square foot tent interacting with the thousands of attending motocross fans. We will be there in full force doing giveaways, autograph sessions and cheering on our favourite riders as well.

Top Woman in the East

TopWomen.indd 1

n 2011, Women’s National motocross was on the cusp of collapse; the resources to build the series weren’t available. Although there was lots of passion, there weren’t a lot of hands. In 2012, a group of women racers took control and changed the direction of the series with simple hard work and enthusiasm. For 2013, the passion has spilled over and Women’s motocross has continued to grow. The three round western series travels through BC and Alberta, attracting women from across the Western Provinces and Northern United States. The 2012 CMRC Western Women’s Champion, Hailey Larson from Washington, came to Kamloops not expecting to chase the series. “We came to the first round in Kamloops and the enthusiasm the women showed towards building the series and racing is why we kept going. Denaye (Giroux) was one of the ladies who told me I should do the whole series, and she was my biggest competition and I was hers. It was cool for me to be part of this, and special to win.” The western rounds were such a success. A lot of people, including organizer Claudie Lapointe, are very excited about the upcoming eastern rounds. The series will consist of three exciting rounds: two will be in Ontario and the third will be in the Province of Quebec. The unique aspect of the eastern series is that all three tracks are sand based. Gopher Dunes, Sand Del Lee and Deschambault are all rough sand tracks that will not only test the riders’ fitness, but they will also test their bike set up and mental fortitude. Another part of racing in Eastern Canada during the summer months is the weather. As everyone knows, the temperatures can skyrocket and the humidity can be stifling. The battle for the Women’s Eastern Championship will no doubt be a battle of attrition and only the toughest women will be successful.

Top Woman in the East

With multi-time Women’s Champion Heidi Cooke sitting out the series this summer, and with current favourite Maddison Alcock recently injured, it leaves the door wide open for a new champion. With the racing on the track being a crowd favourite so far in 2013, the work that the women have done off the track has not gone unnoticed by series officials. “It proves what can be done when you put your mind to something and go after your goal,” said CMRC President, Mark Stallybrass. “All the women in the series have taken ownership of this series and of the Saturday National day. They are the showcase event of that day and I really see this series growing. What the women are doing, perhaps better than the men, is working at being role models and ambassadors of the sport for other young women. They do things with the sport’s best interest first.” The 2013 eastern series will leave the gates in Gopher Dunes. The very best women racers from across Eastern Canada and the United States will part of not only a good race, but a good time in Women’s motocross.
