Honda Powersports Racing - Motocross Schedule - 09 AMA Motocross

Round two of the AMA Motocross season took place this weekend at the Hangtown Motocross Classic in Sacramento. New this year is a fundamental layout change: the riders rode the track in the opposite direction.

Last weekend, Honda Red Bull Racing’s Ivan Tedesco suffered a crash, but that didn’t hold him back in Hangtown. Tedesco led the first nine laps in Moto One and ultimately finished the moto in second.

Honda Red Bull Racing’s Andrew Short began Moto One in fifth but was able to move up two positions to finish third.

Honda Red Bull Racing rider Davi Millsaps injured his foot during practice and consequently had a difficult race. In Moto One he finished 15th and in Moto Two 35th, giving him 19th for the day.

GEICO Powersports Honda rider Dan Reardon started the first moto in ninth but finished seventh. In Moto Two, Reardon started in seventh and moved up to fifth. His 7-5 score gave him sixth for the day.

In Moto Two, Honda Red Bull Racing’s Ivan Tedesco was in the lead for the early part of the race, but ended up finishing fourth. His 2-4 score put him on the box with a second overall.

Andrew Short began Moto Two in fourth place and finished sixth. With his 3-6 finishes for the day, Short took fourth overall.

GEICO Powersports Honda teammates Justin Barcia and Trey Canard battled for the holeshot in the first Lites moto. Barcia came out on top and led the majority of the race but ultimately finished second.

As you’d expect, Trey Canard was looking good on his CRF250R, finishing Moto One in third place.

GEICO Powersports Honda rider Brett Metcalfe started Moto One in fourth and ended in fifth. In Moto Two, he started in fifth but had a better finish and ended in fourth. His 5-4 overall score gave him fourth overall in the Lites class for the day.

GEICO Powersports Honda rider Blake Wharton started Moto One in thirteenth and moved up four positions to finish in ninth.

In Moto Two, Trey Canard was the top Honda finisher, coming in second. With his 3-2 performance, Canard was second overall in Hangtown.

In Lites Moto Two, Blake Wharton finished fifth. His 9-5 performance gave him seventh overall.

In Moto Two, Justin Barcia ran eighth until he had a bad fall. He ended up finishing tenth overall for the day.

In the women’s division, it was Honda Red Bull Racing rider Ashley Fiolek, aboard her CRF250R, who won Moto One. This was a great start after winning both motos last weekend in Glen Helen.

Talk about speed! In Moto One, Ashley Fiolek had the overall fastest lap time.

In Moto Two of the women’s class, Ashley Fiolek finished second. Her 1-2 performance gave her first for the day and she continues to lead the season.
