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.

Rough Racing

The 250 riders in the East are crazy.  Barcia and Wilson had an epic battle in the front of the pack early in the race as the fireworks went off between the two riders.  However, Barcia wasn?t content with 2nd place and made Deano aware of this with an aggressive pass.  Wilson countered with another [...]

Angel Stadium in Anaheim hosts Second Annual Monster Energy Supercross Breast Cancer Awareness Race Saturday

Pink-themed supercross race to support the fight against breast cancer

Courtesy Feld Motorsports-Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, heads to Anaheim's Angel Stadium this Saturday for its second annual PINK themed race in support of finding a cure for breast cancer. The PINK supercross race will help fund the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure 60-mile walk. With the season four races in, San Manuel Yamaha's James Stewart has assumed control of the points lead in the Supercross class with a win last weekend, while Pro Circuit/Monster Energy/Kawasaki's Broc Tickle earned his first win in the Western Regional Supercross Lites class, which puts him one point behind the division leader.

Last weekend before 44,394 fans at a rainy Oakland Coliseum, Monster Energy Kawasaki's Ryan Villopoto opened the main event by capturing the holeshot. Leading through two laps, Villopoto went down and lost his position to Stewart. Unfazed by a series of hard crashes earlier in the day, Stewart controlled this lead for the remaining 18 laps, registering his second victory of the season. This victory also moved Stewart into first place in the standings with a two point lead over Villopoto.
