OCEANSIDE, California / USA (Saturday, August 13, 2011) – Lakey Peterson (Santa Barbara, CA), 16, has capped off a perfect season by winning the ASP 6-Star Supergirl Pro Ju
Christian Craig?s injury at Southwick was heartbreaking for the whole team and Troy Lee Designs is doing everything they can to support him during his rehabilitation. In his absence, three-time Canadian national motocross champion, Colton Facciotti, will be joining the team and taking a swing at American MX glory.
Facciotti came south on his own dime last weekend and posted a solid fifth place in the opening moto in Massachusetts. Anyone who has seen the tall, Canadian rider in his element can attest to his talent and raw speed on a motocross track. The Troy Lee Designs / Lucas Oil / Honda team recognizes that and, with a bike available, is excited to give Colton an opportunity to show his skills on the sports biggest stage.

"I?m looking forward to the last couple rounds and seeing how Colton can do," says Troy Lee, team owner. "I love to see a kid that is hungry to make it happen and I see that fire in him. I think he is going to surprise a lot of people who haven?t followed his career. The kid is fast."
Colton is anxious to for this weekend too.

"I?m pumped to get the opportunity to ride for TLD," says Colton. Adding, "It?s always been a dream of mine since I was little to get on one of the elite teams in the US and hopefully I can do them proud and get some good results."
If you are heading to the Steel City National Motocross this weekend, or the Pala National MX the following weekend, be sure to keep an eye out for Colton Facciotti. If we?re right, you might just find him at the front of the pack.

Ryan Morais' goal for a 2010 West Coast Lites Supercross championship came to a screeching halt in just the 3rd round of the series, when another racer landed on the back on his bike, sending both riders crashing to the ground. This unfortunate crash would sideline Ryan for a few rounds, but he would eventually return to racing action in Seattle and finish the season 10th overall points. When the AMA Motocross Nationals came into around, Ryan was ready to get back to racing, but going into the second round he was once again out with an injury. Ryan has been busy the past few months, but is back and ready to set some new goals for the upcoming 2011 series. I spoke with Ryan about what he learned over the past year and his prospects for the new season.

Angela: Well Ryan, here we are just a few short weeks until the first Supercross race of the season; let's talk about sponsors and the bike?
Ryan: Yeah, DC Shoes stepped up recently and is sponsoring the entire Rockstar Energy Suzuki Team, so I am really excited to be a part of it. I have only been with this sponsor for a few days now and they're really taken care of the team. I'm with the same team as last year, Rockstar Energy Suzuki, with the same mechanic (Rene Zapata), and the same team manager, and owner, everything is pretty much the same, but Suzuki really is stepping up this year. Last year we were on a 2009 carburetor bike, so we were kind of behind the ball, but this year we are on the new 2011 fuel injected, the whole new chassis and everything, and Suzuki has really helped us out with factory support. Our bikes are pretty much in house bikes, running Shoei Suspension, so everything is looking great. Everyone has been doing a great job and the people at Yoshimura have been doing a lot of testing and getting our bikes dialed in, so I'm excited for Anaheim 1. Our bike should be one of the best ones out there, making things really competitive, and that is very cool.
