[mc4aregreat]

Sat. Practice results- Stewert on top, Cooper 3 sec's behind in 7th place, and Townley 9 sec's further back in 31st place. Qualifiying still to come.

[Teava]

mmmm.... wonder if townley is having some setup issues or weather
his wrist is playing up??

[scott411]

have a look at the qualifing not the practice,

hes on top of his group, i was getting worried after i saw the 31st as well,
the top 10 from last year would not have had to qualify in these heats as they getting seeded into sundays main draw

both boys are in the sunday programme, and looking good

[Teava]

So he must have been tweaking the setup during practice nice to see
that he is on top!! With times that close between him and Millsaps it looks
like Honda should have a good weekend!

I'm not gonna be able to sleep tonight waiting for this! First race of the season is so exciting, seeing who's gonna cope and who's gonna choke!:woohoo::soon:

According to a fella on Thumpertalk during Motocross Saturday non timed sessions Mike Alessi was fastest with a 2:40, but had his time removed, probably due to stopping on the track. We will see but seems that Mike has gelled well with the Suzuki and his pace has really picked up since switching.

[CHOPPA]

Oh you were commentating the race! i thought it was just qualifying! good shit man thanks for the coverage

[Danger]

BT shoulder injury??
Did this happen in practice?

They talk about his shoulder injury. There has been so little press on this, but I suspect its part of the wrist injury he sustained 6 weeks ago. We don't really know any more than what we hear by rumour. Nice if the BT camp could fill us in on Bens fitness. They are saying (the commentators) that he is only 85% fit. Thats just speculation from their part I'm picking. Who knows?

[Danger]

Now they are saying he has an ankle injury from practice!:doctor:

[Teava]

just heard that BT has injured his ankle !!!
ARRRRRGGGHHHHHHH:mad:

[Danger]

Race 2 looking familiar, Bubba leads after Alessi holeshots, so its Bubba, Alessi, Millsaps, BT and then Ferry.
Cody in 10th.

[Danger]

Bubba and Alessi pulling away from Millsaps, BT and Ferry. Cody into 9th about 10 secs a lap of Bubbas pace.

[Danger]

Cody up to 8th!

[Danger]

BT back in 5th dicing with Ferry.

[raglanash]

Go Cody!!!!!!!!!

[Danger]

BT and Ferry dicing it out in 4th and 5th, 18 seconds down on Bubba.

[Danger]

BT and Ferry pushing up onto Millsaps in 3rd place.

[Danger]

Townley must of crashed and drops to 20th!

[Danger]

Looks like Townley is off, bike not starting, helmet off. Bloody Honda's!

[Teava]

yeah he did, safe to say that townley is out of the race.
Not a good weekend for BT

[Danger]

Cody in 7th thanks to Bens misfortune.

[Danger]

BT is out. Looked good for a bit when he was pushing for 3rd in 1st race but looks like the injurys and lack of time on the bike and the move to a Honda have taken their toll this weekend.

[Danger]

Cody is pushing the other Alessi (Jeff) for 6th place.

[Danger]

Cody takes 6th and starts after Tedesco in 5th!

[Danger]

Bubba and Alessi are stomping over everyone. Way clear of the field.

[Danger]

Cody all over Tedesco!

[snarldom]

looking good for MXofN if Cody keeps this pace up the rest of the year!!

[scott411]

looking good for MXofN if Cody keeps this pace up the rest of the year!!

slight problem is that who will ride the 250F.

and who will pay for the bikes and the mecahincs to get to England?

[Danger]

Bubba wins over Alessi, easy win.
3rd Millsaps
4th Ferry
5th Tedesco
6th Cody, good result!

Looks like it could be another season of following Bubba though. Boring.

[Danger]

To early to be thinking of MXoN as far as riders go. Our team has looked good at this time of year before, actually better with BT and Josh flying at this time of year only to be struck down with crashes and injurys. If their season turns around and Cody stays fit yeah it will be a good team. But yes, expensive exercise, hope we can make it and put up a good fight.

[scott411]

Coops 8th overall, 2nd Privateer

great result

Press release:

Ben Townley off to a tough start in Glen Helen

The first round of the AMA Motocross nationals has seen a difficult start to Ben Townley’s much anticipated return to racing. The 23-year-old Kiwi who is based in Tallahassee, Florida had to overcome a banged angle in the morning qualification session only to have a possible podium finish snatched in the final moto when his machine gave up on him.

After grabbing a good start in moto 1 aboard his factory Red Bull Honda, BT was positioned in fourth on the opening lap. He was then passed by fellow Honda team-mate Davi Millsaps while trying to settle into his race rhythm. Five laps later the Kiwi retaliated and moved back into fourth, then setting his sights on Tim Ferry who was holding a podium spot. Townley gradually reeled in the Floridian and tried to go up the inside of Ferry just after the infamous Glen Helen sand section, but went down in the process. He quickly rejoined the race after losing a few positions and came back to claim 6th spot.

In Moto 2, Townley took advantage of an aggressive first corner to position himself in fourth as he had done in the first moto. He quickly settled down and focused on catching Millsaps which he succeeded in doing on lap 3. As Townley was poised to make a move on his team-mate disbelief overcame the crowd when they saw the number 101 forced to the side of the circuit with a technical problem - The Kiwi’s race was over.

“It’s awesome to be back at the races especially as it’s my first race for the Red Bull Honda Team. Saturday went well and I was able to shake off all the old cobwebs and I got back into the rhythm of being at the races again. Today was a little bit different though - I was going through a turn during qualifying when my foot hit a boulder on the inside of the turn and smashed my heel and ankle. At first I thought the injury was much worse but I still made it to the first moto after icing the foot. I was pleased with my riding under the circumstances and was happy to be in a race situation again. The second moto was cut short with a bike problem but I was feeling confident for a podium spot at that stage.” explained Townley.

Townley has more testing planned with the Red Bull Honda team in California before he heads to round two at the ‘Hangtown Classic’ near Sacramento next weekend.

Big girls chasing the money. :girlfight:

[scott411]

i think it is more to do with team budgets,

some teams (butler Bros, atomic) are only doing SX as the nationals cost just as much, and get less press and sponsorship,

unfortunalty i think this is going to continue to be the case :( there are rumours that the supercross season may be extended to 20 races from the current 16

[Danger]

Also that the Nationals maybe switching to a one race format. The riders earn a lot more money racing SX and I believe it is less work for them. But it only has a tenth of the interest for me. Rather watch a good MX race rather than the aerial antics of SX.

[denill]

Scott and Danger's posts got me wondering. As I have a major preference for MX (over SX) I got to wonder if I was in the minority?

So rather than hijack this thread I've <a href=http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=74618> Set Up A Poll:</A>

there is conflicting reports on the one moto thing, i think it would be a pretty stupid thing to do,

[Danger]

Me too and I hope and don't think they are silly enough to run with that idea.

[Katoomer]

It didn't work when the MXGPs went to 1 moto format . I think the yanks are just looking at ways to improve their series .They even asked youthstream for some input so thats a good sign.We might even get some decent coverage down here. I rang Sky and there's nothing scheduled for June so its back to hassling them again to show it :doh:

[denill]

From HH Media:

I had a call from Russell Burling who was awaiting his flight back to Sydney on Monday night. Russell has been 'assisting' Cody Cooper and owned the Hondas before Coops move to the Biloxi (Mississippi) based Suzuki City/OTSFF/Rockstar team for the 2008 AMA Motocross season.

"He ended up 14th in the first race because he had no rear brake. With his pace he could have been 5th or 6th. In the second race he was 6th and only 4 seconds behind Ivan Tedesco, who was only 4 behind Tim Ferry in 4th." said Burling.

"He is a big story here, an unknown who is 8th in the Championship. All the big motocross mags were all over him. You have to see Glen Helen to appreciate how big the track is, it's massive and there was a huge crowd as Memorial Day Weekend. The jumps are massive also, bigger than anything in New Zealand." he continued.

"Did he like the Suzuki ?" I asked.

"You have to remember he only got the Suzuki RM-Z450 on the Thursday and it is not a full factory bike. He says the turn-in is amazing."

"What happened to BT ?" I asked.

"Ignition problems - the bike would not restart." he responded.
