World Motocross MX1 Champion Tony Cairoli and Grand Prix of Netherlands

Tony Cairoli twisted his knee severely at the Bulgarian Grand Prix of Motocross over two weeks ago. He wen thru a lot in the two weeks leading up to last Monday's Grand Prix of Netherlands. But neither the pain in his knee, or the memory of Bugaria could stop him. He arrived very motivated (although in pain) to Valkenswaard ... and ended up winning the MX1 Grand Prix!

After the GP of Bulgaria, Tony first went to visit his doctor, Dr. Toon Claes. They conducted an MRI, and after that scan Dr. Claes could tell that Tony damaged his patellar tendon and miniscus. Also he found a bone fracture in the femur and saw that Tony's ACL's are streched!

Tony said Valkenswaard was one of most difficult races if his career, but he ended the day with a first moto win, second position in the second heat, and won the GP - the 38th of his career.

Tony had great starts in both heats, but lost important positions in the first corner. In heat one he hit hay bale in the first corner and had problems getting rid of that! In both races he showed great race speed, and made spectacular comebacks!

Five Things to Look For at the Salt Lake City Supercross

The gate drops on the penultimate round of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross series this Saturday night at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City, Utah. Kevin Windham took the win at last year's race, and he commented that it's the first time he's ever recalled racing in the snow.

The 2011 AMA Supercross Series championship hangs in the balance in the next 10 days. Ryan Villopoto, Chad Reed, Ryan Dungey, and James Stewart are separated by a mere nine points with only two races to go: Salt Lake City and Las Vegas.

See the latest from the race in Salt Lake right now!

MX Adventures: Leaving the West Coast ... talking with Kevin Windham

{jvideo id=259 height=378 width=660 autoPlay=0}

Who dat?

This week I caught up with Kevin Windham. In the video below, Kevin Windham talks about the Superbowl Champions, the NFL's New Orleans Saints, his family, his future plans for racing and beyond.

The Superbowl XLIV champions, the New Orleans Saints, have many fans - among them is none other than the number 14 in Supercross, Kevin Windham. While the NFL season started when Supercross was in its off season, Kevin was able to take part in season tickets to his favorite NFL team - da' Saints. Eventually the 2010 Supercross season got underway in January, which meant Kevin was flying off after those Saturday night Main Events back East to watch the New Orleans Saints Playoff games.

On February 7, 2010 the New Orleans Saints headed to the Superbowl in Miami, Florida and Kevin Windham and his wife Dottie made arrangements to attend this momentous occasion. First, however Kevin had to finish up a Supercross race in San Diego the night before.

I didn't make it out to the 2009 A Day in the Dirt, but my fellow MXGirl and race correspondent did! Bridget Hall is one of my favorite weekend warrior - dedicated to the sport of motocross! She has been on fire participating in all the local events!

I reached out to Bridget for her MXGirls feedback on how her race went out at LACR (Los Angeles County Raceway) for the 2009 A Day in the Dirt event held over Thanksgiving weekend in Palmdale, California. Once again there was a healthy showing of girls out there racing the Women?s GP on Saturday morning. Some of the well known names in attendance were Tarah Geiger, Heather Kelley, and Sayaka Kaneshiro. Tarah Geiger clenched the win in the Women?s Pro Class, with Kaneshiro finishing second. Bridget ended up finishing third in the Women?s Intermediate class and had a great time as usual! I look forward to attending 2010!

Many vendors donated great prizes to the raffle & auction and the ride day was packed! The moto community is such a fantastic one; it?s amazing how many people came together to show their support! Many of the pros were in attendance as well, such as Jeremy McGrath, Mike Sleeter, Brett Metcalfe and Brian Deegan (to name just a few). It was a HUGE success and everyone wishes Ross the best of luck in his recovery. Please follow his journey at www.rossiproject.com

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.

Red Bull Teka KTM factory motocross rider Steffi Laier "Ready to Race" in 2011

When Steffi Laier, Red Bull Teka KTM factory rider and two-time Women's MX World Champion takes to the track in the pre-season MX races in Valence, France, this weekend it will be her first competitive ride for 2011. Steffi has been training hard on the bike since mid December and in Valence tests herself against a field of male riders.

At the French pre-season special, she faces off with a strong lineup of riders including those from the Nestaan JM Racing KTM squad led by Joel Roelants, Yentel Martens and young talents like 125 European champion Jordi Tixier of France and Austrian Pascal Rauchenecker. Also in the field are other KTM riders like British rider Nathan Parker (PROPPA-COM KTM and French riders Loïc Leonce (B G R KTM) and Loïc Larrieu (WOLFF KTM). But these and other top riders hold no fear for Steffi who his very well known for her toughness, skill and courage when attacking any MX track.

I was very impressed with the layout of the entire facility - the pits, the press, the track ... the entire presentation.

Everyone from Glen Helen Raceway - Dr. Bud Feldkamp (track owner) to Lori (track manager), their staff including Carl, Steve, Bob did a great job in representing the United States and California in having one of the greatest motocross tracks in America.

I sat with Dr. Wolfgang Srb, President of the FIM Motocross Commission, and he was very impressed with the preparation of everything as well, including the track, especially with the fact that the event was put on with 60 days notice. He thought everything was top notch, and is excited to have the event come back next year.

Effective Braking for Faster Cornering

Everyone can go fast by hold the throttle pinned on the straights, but it?s when it comes time to slow down that separates the pros from the amateurs.� Next time you are at your local track, watch the fast guys around the track; they are either on the gas or braking.� Slower riders tend to [...]

R4TC: 2010 Ride for the Cure at Cahuilla Motocross Park

I haven't hit the track much in 2010, but knowing that the 4th Annual Motocross Ride for the Cure Event was coming, I dusted off the KTM, dropped it off at Malcolm Motorsports for some fine tuning, hit Milestone Motocross Track for a handful of warm ups and I was ready to enjoy the funnest event of the year hosted by motocross enthusiast herself, Laurie Carey, who is constantly raising the bar for fundraising, support, education and interaction for Breast Cancer Awareness!

The morning started off amazing, perfect day to moto! The sky's were bright blue and littered with dark fluffy rain clouds! Dropping rain in perfect track watering patterns, the day was in full swing and the pits were packed! Tons of Factory support lined up for the event, they even had a never ending Freestyle show in the works! Mike Metzger, the God Father of FMX was doing his thing and dozens of other talented riders busting out tricks for the fans.

I pretty much settled into a pack rat of MXGirls, WMA Pro Rider Elizabeth Bash, Race Techs Michelle Marshall, and Mission Motorsports Brooklyn McClendon. We had a blast mixing it up on the main and vet tracks, sporting our decorated "Ride for the Cure" Bra's and having a blast spinning laps, saving boobies!

In the end I was amazed at the growth this event has accumulated over the years, by far the most impressive outcome I've seen. I'm looking forward to next year's event, but more importantly, it's touching to see all the work Laurie Carey puts into the Support and Awareness of Breast Cancer.

Interview: AMA Women's Motocross Champion Jessica Patterson

Jessica Patterson is the 2010 AMA Women's National Motocross Champion. Here is Supercross.com's latest interview with JP$.

Jessica, congratulations on your 2010 AMA Women's National MX Championship. You walked away with some amazing trophies from this summer's race wins .... where do you put all those great awards, and what does it mean to you when you see them?

Thanks Annj. I usually go straight to my parents house and drop them all off and let my mom decorate the house with them. But recently she told me that I have started to bring home too many, and to figure out where to put them at my place because her place is now full.

Her suggestion to me was to rent a storage unit if I didn?t want to keep them all over the house. They are all just hanging out at her house right now, and eventually when I decide where I want to move, then I will take them with me and start the decorating.

To see the trophies is pretty cool. It is what I have been working so hard for, and after struggling for for two years and now coming back and winning the championship in 2010, it makes it that much better. Seeing that I have all those number 1 trophies from each race except for two, it reminds me of how good of a year it really was, so it makes me really happy and makes me want to keep pushing.

15 Motorcycle Insurance Discounts you should ask for

RJ Says: Moving to Pro 4 Off-Road Truck Racing in 2011

Last year I won the TORC Pro 2 Off-Road Truck racing championship. This year I'm moving to the Pro 4 class.

What's the difference between Pro 2 and Pro 4? Pro 2 is two wheel drive. Pro 4 is four wheel drive.

With Pro 4 you can drive more aggressively - you can get on the gas more, because you have much more traction with all four wheels.

Also in 2011, I'm with a new team - Menzies. Plus I have help from Dodge, and Red Bull.

In this video below, this is one of the first times I started testing for 2011. It's a track at Glen Helen Raceway! (Home of the US MX GP)

James Stewart, Two-Time Supercross Champion, is Sorry for Incident, Will Continue Racing

James Stewart was arrested for allegedly impersonating a police officer. The incident occurred on Florida's Highway 417 in Orlando, as Stewart was taking a friend to the airport to catch his flight. According to police reports, Stewart allegedly used his vehicle lights and red and blue lights to slow down a vehicle containing off duty police officers that had passed his vehicle. Stewart was in street clothes and never exited his vehicle during the incident. No confrontation or exchange of words between the officers and Stewart occurred.  Stewart was not charged with any dangerous driving or any other negative action. The police report is clear that once Stewart slowed the police officers' vehicle that he then drove towards the airport; several miles later, Stewart and his friend were pulled over at the airport where they fully cooperated with police.
