| ANAHEIM DOUBLE FOR VILLOPOTO | 05.02.2012 |
|---|
Ryan Villopoto completed the Anaheim double to take over the red plate in the AMA SX series. On a track with two sand sections and a tough set of whoops James Stewart shook off a big get-off in the heat to chase the defending champion home and confirm his role as number one challenger while Chad Reed completed the podium and Ryan Dungey was once again 4th. With Dean Wilson off the podium, Eli Tomac moved relentlessly clear in the Lites points after another runaway. Max Anstie qualified 10th but failed to make the Main.

PRIME TIME AT HAWKSTONE
... the track is ready for the Hawk International
| 02.02.2012 |
|---|
Just over three weeks to go to the big season opener at Hawkstone Park and the HIMX crew have taken full advantage of the recent mild weather spell to get the track in perfect condition for the upcoming Hawk International on February 26; even more lines have been carved out, the bomb hole has been given a facelift and the Yamaha jump made more user-friendly.

| "BUBBA" BOUNCES BACK | 29.01.2012 |
|---|
On the most selective track of the tour so far James Stewart bounced back into contention by repeating his 2011 win at Oakland: "I would like to dedicate this win to my mechanic Mark "Tex" Adams, who passed away this week. I got in a rhythm out there tonight and put together a great race. It's been a while since I been up here and I had a tough couple of races this year but our team never gave up and tonight I got it done." The Yamaha leader is still fourth in the points, but only 12 back from new joint-leaders Chad Reed and Ryan Dungey with defending champion Ryan Villopoto just two off the pace.
The evening was a disaster for Pro Circuit; Tyla Rattray knocked himself out in his heat and did not appear again and a second lap off-track excursion restricted Dean Wilson to 10th whilst Geico Honda's Eli Tomac scored his second straight Lites win. Zach Osborne got on the podium for the second straight week.

CHAD REED TAKES THE WIN IN LA
... double tops for Honda as Tomac beats Deano in the Lites
| 22.01.2012 |
|---|
Chad Reed bounced back from a below-par Phoenix to destroy the opposition in Dodgers Stadium for a win which takes the Australian to within four points of the AMA SX series lead. Lites winners Eli Tomac and Dean Wilson were setting lap times similar to the SX class leaders, but the Scot had to settle for second after new points leader Tomac escaped early in the Main and Zach Osborne joined them on the podium. Joy and despair for Honda; wins in both classes, but Trey Canard left the stadium strapped to a backboard as the SX Main was red-flagged first time around and Justin Brayton didn't even make the Main.

KTM WIN WITH DUNGEY
... but Deano controlled the Lites !
| 15.01.2012 |
|---|
In his third ride in orange Ryan Dungey has given KTM their first SX class victory in the States as he ran away with the win at Phoenix. It was a great night for the Orange Army as Marvin Musquin took second in the Lites, but Kawasaki was strong again; Ryan Villopoto came through the field for third to teammate Jake Weimer in the SX class after being dragged down on lap one ... and Dean Wilson arose like the phoenix from the ashes of a nervous A1 display to control the Lites whilst Tyla Rattray kept the points lead with third.
Link to SX1 Main added below ... drag forward to 21:25 for the most amazing past lap pass !

| KING COLE | 08.01.2012 |
|---|
Cole Siebler reaped the reward for his charges through the pack on the two opening nights as the Meyer Honda alone of the four candidates for the stadium title in Dortmund escaped the first turn snarl-up to sweep past early leader Florent Richier and run away with the final race of the three day festival to be crowned King of Dortmund.
|
MATT GOERKE DOES IT IN STYLE
ADAC title with win in the Main !
| 07.01.2012 |
|---|
After a nerve-wracking Friday night when he failed to make the Main, Matt Goerke struck back to clinch the ADAC-SX-Cup title in style with a clearcut win in the final round this evening. The 25 year old from Florida moved past Robert Kiniry early in the Main to stay out of trouble; with victories at every round bar Stuttgart he proved himself a worthy champion and was the only series regular to outpoint Stuttgart and Munich wild card Mike Alessi.

THE ABSENT LEADER
Alessi still leads the points as Goerke and Richier screw up !
| 06.01.2012 |
|---|
After a sensational evening of racing on the first evening in the Westfalenhalle, just two riders can still pip the absent points leader Mike Alessi for the ADAC SX1 Cup title - and neither of them even made the Main ! After a series of collisions both Matt Goerke and Florent Richier rolled out of hopeless positions in the LCQ, and even defending champion Richier can only catch Alessi on points if he wins the Saturday Main. Even Goerke, trailing Alessi by just four, needs to FINISH the Saturday Main because the ADAC only award points to finishers ! Boris Maillard sealed the SX2 title with second to Austin Politelli in the first moto. Oh, by the way, Cyrille Coulon won the SX1 Main !

| VILLOPOTO IN DORTMUND ! | 29.12.2011 |
|---|
No kidding, but don't worry, the SX world champion is not skipping A1 to give the rest a chance - the Villopoto who will race for Sturm Kawasaki in the Westfalenhalle next week is not Ryan, but younger brother Tyler ! The kid may not be quite as fast as his big brother yet - but then, who is ? - but he is apparantly even more spectaular and will step up to the SX1 class on all three days of the ADAC SX Cup finale. The Saturday show in the German arena has been a sell-out for weeks, but anyone who wants to witness the Friday January 6 or Sunday January 8 show can still order tickets @ http://www.supercross-dortmund.de/tickets/ticket.php
