[paturoa]

Does anyone know how Courtney Duncan is going in merka? I've done the usual searches but not found anything.

[MIXONE]

I see on fb that she won her first race easily.

Watched the race on LiveStream and she just cleared out............................

Fecking brilliant. Almost a quarter lap over 2nd place and looks like she lead from start to finish.

Edit: She was on a 125 and the others all on two fiddies!

Edit 2: Nice link denill, she won moto 2 as well. http://www.americanmotocrossresults.com/xml/MX/events/M1305/MWF2RES.pdf

I was able to watch most of her race (The little 125 Stroker and Courtney were brilliant and both machine and Courtney were favourites with the commentators) and the 450 race on Live Stream http://www.allisports.com/motocross

The link took me to a window that allowed International Viewers to go to another window.

Then the Fkn thing wouldn't allow that for the latter races??????

Ohhhh, thanks for the heads up on that Mate.

I thought it was me...................... :laugh:

Why has this not hit the NZ media yet? The amount this young lady wasted the others by at 16 years old is phenomenal. I imagine once Andy McGechan has written an article for Bikesportnz it will be sent around the traps? Is that how it normally works?

I went to both the TVNZ and TV3 news web sites yesterday and they have email addys to send them new news stuff. So I did for both. Nada in the news.

I'm biased, however that was an excellent "news item". Perhaps the mainstream TV media could show that in the 6 o'clock news.

The low shot of her going around the wide right hander heading to the jump was a wicked shot.

So was DC's reaction! "WOW"
It does not involve a ball or a boat so we won't likely see anything. We bloody should though!

High Point on June 8 and Southwick on June 29 are the other 2 rounds. I don't think those other girls have a shit show, even on a factory Honda 250F!

I had the same thought watching her rail that right hander.
I remember getting smoked by Katherine Prumm on numerous practice days, and I don't think she would even have had anything for Courtney Duncan at Hangtown.
I hope she shows the boys a thing or two at Loretta Lynns...

[raglanash]

Thats great! She has a whole lot more fans in the US after that, the 2 stroke taliban has a new hero!

the vital MX two stroke brigade have there new Queen for sure, you should see the theory's already coming along that the evil empires that run motocross will pay her to ride a four stroke against her will,

Haha yeh bro I've been watching it develop, the "that chick on the 125" and "will a 2 stroke win Hangtown" threads have been on the front page all day.
Scottie recons that his vital video guy is in love, bet there will be some photo/video shoots going on in the next week or two.
She has definitely stirred some interest. Stoked for her, living the dream.

[jasonu]

That is excellent news and good for her. Trouble is though, there are very few that give a rats arse about WMX. It is more of a side show boardering on a distraction at the nationals MX meetings. Sad but true.

sad but true, when i don;t know one of the girls racing i dont ever look up to watch them,

I have to admit tho, this is the first time in a long time the US websites have talked about WMX in a positive light, they love that she rode a 125

That is excellent. I hope they show the full clip from below plus some older footage to give it some context.

I wonder how many people sent them emails today?

Edit: Watched the news, they should have just played the whole clip.

Any one else getting a pang of pride for this young ladies achievements and the recognition and attention she is getting overseas?

They loved the 2/ angle, but I have to be honest I think her speed & style was more important, being so close in times to qualifying for the 250's seemed huge and then the 2/ was just like cream on the cake.

having the vitards talk about her is pretty cool, even if the two stroke taliban on there are on a different planet at times,

The interweb is shite for the WMX, as far as I can tell the next WMX rounds are 8th June and29 June.

Does anyone know if Courtneys is racing those?

Edit: yes, http://www.moto-media.net/?id=2460

"Sharon also credits herself with initiating the ONE Sport news story - not MNZ - still nothing on their website."

Why was I not surprised to read that!

MNZ is consistent at least......................... :(

Is Courtney racing this weekend? Saw on a overseas forum someone claimed shes out injured?

Anyone able to confirm or dispel this? Cant see any news as such on her Facebook page.

[raglanash]

Absolutely pitted with this news!!!!

Racer X has confirmed that Rock River Yamaha's Courtney Duncan, who in her pro debut won both motos at the Red Bull Hangtown Motocross Classic by large margins on a YZ125 two-stroke, will miss the second round of the WMX Triple Crown this weekend at the GEICO High Point National with a broken wrist. Duncan had a plate put in her wrist and her status for the final WMX round at Southwick is currently unknown. We'll keep you updated on this situation as more information becomes available.

[paturoa]

That is the suckiest news!

I have no idea, but I'd suspect that with a plate in her wrist then the next round 29th of June may be at risk too. When is Lorettas?

[paturoa]

Bump - what is the latest news?

[scott411]

shes back in the states preparing for Loretta Lynns, the US Amatuer champs, starts July 29

So the broken bits are good again!

She will have quite a lot of pain and work to get her fitness back I spose. Hope is going well as it starts this weekend.


MX Sports is pleased to announce the date for the 2013 Red Bull AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship presented by Amsoil. Following the Area Qualifier and Regional Championship qualifying process, the 2013 National Championship will take place July 29 – August 3 at the Loretta Lynn Ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tenn.

she has been back on the bike for about a month, and was 50/50 to do the last round of the WMA series but decided not to, i think she will be 100% ready, I am not sure if she is doing another class but she will be the favourite for the womans 16 plus title,

[paturoa]

Starts tomorrow?

Race schedule here http://www.mxsports.com/pages/the-national/race-order has Women +14 but no 16+ ??

[Shorty_925]

Practice is on at the moment.

I have read that Jerry Robins '85 CR250 has had a crank bearing go. He has been practicing on a back-up '07 CR250 that he's been lent leading up to the event while they were re-building his '85: http://www.vitalmx.com/forums/Moto-Related,20/Jerry-Robbin-ready-for-the-Ranch,1257509

Here's a link to the results for Loretta's :

edit: a thread on vitalmx says she never started, not sure on this tho

[L Rider]

I'd read that she started but was knocked off before 1st corner & didn't get going again
