DC Moto TF Day with Ryan Morais

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.

2012 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series - Indianapolis Preview

Last weekend at the 2012 Daytona Supercross presented by Honda, not one, but two major upsets took place. Well, one actually occurred before the weekend, but it was easily the most significant upset of the two. While the rain that doused the famed Florida circuit certainly made for one very sloppy Supercross race, the mud was not what caused the biggest change in the premier class standings.

On the Friday before the race, a press release went out from KTM Motorsports announcing that Ryan Dungey had broken his collarbone while practicing more than a week earlier. While Dungey had been able to race (and finish second) the previous weekend in St. Louis, he apparently had already been injured and just gritted through the race. Dungey had been second in the points chase, just 13 points behind Ryan Villopoto. By dropping out of the series, James Stewart effectively inherited Dungey?s place in the standings.
