Troy Lee Designs/ Lucas Oil/ Honda welcomes their newest rider to their 2010 Motocross racing team roster with the addition of top-ranked female racer Tarah Gieger. She will be competing in all eight stops of the Lucas Oil Women’s Motocross Championships on her #18 Honda CRF250R, starting May 22 at the Hangtown Motocross Classic in Rancho Cordova, Calif. Tarah will be joining the TLD squad which includes former World Champion and 250 Supercross champion Ben Townley, Wil Hahn, Cole Seely and Christian Craig.

“I am super excited to be on the Troy Lee Designs/Lucas Oil/Red Bull team,” said Gieger. “Everyone on the team and at the shop has been very supportive of me being on the team. The bikes are awesome, and I know they will be very competitive.”

One of the most recognizable names in women’s motocross, Tarah Gieger’s success can be measured in podiums and accomplishments. Since her pro debut in 2003, Tarah has won at every major contest and, in 2008, took home the gold medal at the X Games, the very first Women’s Moto X event. Her past achievements include 2nd Overall in 2007 AMA/WMA series, taking 1st Place at the famous AMA Loretta Lynn’s Championship in 2006 and 2007 and as well becoming the first female in history to compete in the Red Bull Motocross of Nations in 2007, representing Puerto Rico. Injuries prevented her from competing for a majority of the 2009 season, but she is now back, healthier and more focused than ever on winning a championship.

“I’m really excited to have Tarah on the team,” added David ‘Ping’ Pingree, TLD team manager, “For me, racing is racing and if she’s running up front it’s going to be fun. I think she’ll be in the hunt to win every weekend with the Troy Lee Designs/Lucas Oil/Honda team on her side.”

“I am also glad to see that several teams are taking on female riders,” said Gieger. “It just helps validate our series. We have been racing in our own series for some time, and now we are able to get the support that the men have enjoyed. It’s going to be refreshing pitting with a real team, especially one that is as well respected as the TLD team. I am looking forward to the upcoming season and want to thank everyone that helped make this a reality.”

Besides her racing, Tarah will also be the face of Troy Lee Designs Women’s motocross and casual product line, as she will be featured through the brand’s advertisements, in-store displays and select events.

The Troy Lee Designs Lucas Oil Honda race team would like to thank all of the companies that have supported our racing efforts over the years. They include Lucas Oil, American Honda, Red Bull, PPG, Wings for Life, Alpinestars, Avia, Couts Heating and Cooling, Dunlop, Epic Action Video Cam, Leatt Brace, McQueen Racing, Oakley, Pacific Collision, Pro Circuit, Rossignol, Santa Cruz, Selle Italia, Skullcandy, All Sport Dynamics, Cycra, Fasthouse, Flexfit, Hinson Clutch, Hot Wheels, Kahne Racing, Light Speed, Muc-Off, N Style, Nameplate, ODI, Primm, QTM, Renthal, RK Chain, Excel, Twin Air, Vasser Racing and VP Racing.

Add AND subtract fuel in your dirt bike with Wiseco’s Gen. 3.5 fuel controller! The fuel management controller will allow you to fine tune your EFI fuel delivery to maximize the performance of other modifications to your bike, such as high compression pistons, exhaust, intake, or camshafts.

Wiseco is now introducing its new line of fuel controllers, available and ready to ship for the 2009 & 2010 Honda CRF450R/250R, Kawasaki KX450F, Suzuki RM-Z 450/250 and Yamaha YZF250/450 dirt bikes. These controllers are simple to use, with no dyno or computer needed! With the touch of a button, you can easily adjust three basic zones of operation, similar to a carburetor- a “pilot jet” zone to set your idle and cruise; a “needle jet” zone for acceleration; and a “main jet” zone for heavy loading and wide open throttle.

Electronic fuel injection is a relatively new technology in the Motocross and ATV segment. The knowledge of adjusting carburators can not be fully used to fine tune a fuel injected engine. Most of the time you need a laptop or desktop PC to run specific brand software to fill in all the specific parameters to get the correct fuel and ignition map to change the signal to the injector. To make it possible and easy to adjust the air/fuel ratio coming from the ECU, Wiseco developed this unit with a carburator philosophy. No computer or dyno bench is needed. Tuning can be done on the bike itselves where and when is needed.

Our “plug-and-play” EFI controller will be installed between the ECU and the fuel injector. The controller stays connected on the bike as long as you are using it. Also during riding. This makes it possible to adjust the engine to the actual conditions of the track or purpose of the activity, like riding sand tracks, trails in the mountains, etc. To go back to the standard ECU settings, simply disconnect the EFI controller and the bike is standard again. If the controller is damaged it will loop the ECU signal so you can still ride your race (with the basic ECU settings). The engine keeps running!

As mentioned the controller has the carburator philosophy. 3 zones like the pilot jet for idle/cruise, needle jet for acceleration and the main jet for wide open trottle can be adjusted like a carburator. You can still use your knowledge and experience!

So if you change an airfilter, piston or exhaust system your Air/Fuel ratio will change. This will mostly change the graph of your engine’s horsepower or torgue. You do not have to hire a dyno-expert, do it yourself!

MSRP starts at Euro 263,98 excluding 19% BTW

Media day is Thursday, March 11 from Noon-2:00 p.m. EST in the Rogers Centre baseball press box, featuring Canada native and Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki rookie Dean Wilson and Honda of Troy’s Michael Willard, a Canadian Motocross veteran.

When the championship concluded its annual race from Atlanta’s Georgia Dome, it was Dungey who stood atop the podium with his third win of 2010 and all the momentum of the championship after Villopoto suffered a frightening crash while running second and finished 19th. Dungey held a 20-point lead over his rival heading into Daytona last Saturday night.

In last Saturday’s AMA Supercross class main event, it was all Villopoto, who rebounded from his worst outing of the season in dominating fashion, grabbing the lead early and never looking back en route to his fourth win of 2010. Dungey rode to a strong runner-up finish, minimizing the loss of points in the standings to only three. Honda Red Bull Racing’s Trey Canard, fresh off a career-best runner-up effort in Atlanta, posted his second consecutive podium finish in third.

The second stop of the AMA Supercross Lites Eastern Regional Championship produced one of the most exciting races in recent memory. Three different riders found themselves at the front of the field as Wilson captured his first Spike Holeshot Award as a professional and went on to lead the next nine laps. On lap 10, Rockstar/Makita Suzuki’s Austin Stroupe made his move and led until lap 13 when his front wheel slid out from under him. The error allowed Pourcel to capitalize and lead only two laps on his way to win number two.

On Saturday night in Daytona, Stroupe found himself at the front of the field yet again and put forth a quick pace to gap his competitors. However, Pourcel began to make methodical work of closing the deficit and made a stellar pass for the lead on lap six and never looked back. Stroupe would hold on to the runner-up spot while Wilson maintained his recent run of momentum to grab his first-career podium finish in third. The trio also holds down the top three positions in the current AMA Supercross Lites Eastern Regional Championship standings.

Last year in Toronto, San Manuel Yamaha’s James Stewart earned his ninth win of the season as he continued a season ending quest to overcome then points leader Chad Reed after a horrific crash in Daytona and fall the week prior in St. Louis. In the AMA Supercross Lites class, Pourcel dominated for his fourth win of the Eastern Regional Championship season, extending his seemingly insurmountable points lead heading into the championship’s final race.

The first AMA Supercross race held in Toronto was December 4, 2004 when Ricky Carmichael won on a Honda. When Toronto became a regular part of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, schedule on March 29, 2008, Chad Reed won on a Yamaha. Last year, Pourcel captured the first-ever AMA Supercross Lites Eastern Regional Championship main event from the Rogers Centre. With both Reed and Stewart’s returns in question, Toronto could host its third different winner in as many years.

SPEED will broadcast this weekend’s race from the Rogers Centre live, starting at 7:30 p.m. EST

After two successful pre-season races at Valance and Hawkstone Park the 2010 season is looking white hot for the 15 year old German Suzuki star.

“I had a good winter. We had a holiday, some parties and fun. I went snowboarding and hung out a lot with my friends. Then when it came to practice time it was then important to focus, but still have fun! I stayed at home and it was not great with the bad weather but I think the toughness of it made me harder.

Together with the team we also made some tests in France and overall it went well. I rode a lot at Lommel; I don’t hate it yet! I did the same thing for 2010 as before. I felt that my fitness was already pretty good last season so this year should be the same or even better considering that in ’09 I started at zero, but now I have a base to work from for the GPs.

2009 was a great time for me. I looked in a lot of magazines and I only read good stuff! So that gave, and gives me, confidence and makes me want to get better.
We have been working with the new RM-Z250. The bike feels a bit different but it was strong in 2009 and already is very good for this year. Fuel injection means that the engine power is better and more aggressive but the stability and traction of the bike is still awesome. We have some testing still to do with the suspension, but I believe I can be World Champion with this machine, for sure. The 2010 bike does not mean I have to alter my style; in fact the more power the better for me.

I know I will be looked at as one of the main guys in the world championship but I believe this is one area in which many riders think a little too much and get a bit crazy about what people say and expect. I want to carry on as I have done. The team do not put any pressure on me. I know what I am aware of but we want to keep the same working environment. The situation with the sponsors, like Teka and Fox, and Suzuki is really good. There are a lot of people looking at me now and I know it is another part of the job, but I am looking forward to it.

There will be some fast guys at the GPs again this year although I still feel that one of the biggest competitors you can also have is injury. Over 15 races it is important to keep safe and look after yourself to have a solid season. I think the way to beat Musquin (MX2 World Champion) is through pressure; I want to see how strong in the head he is. I will do everything I can to beat these guys, in the right way of course!”

With the prospect of sunny weather for this weekend for the first round of the 2010 Red Bull Pro Nationals everything is looking good. The iconic Foxhill Moto Parc is groomed and ready for the best motocross talent in the UK to do their thing and get the series off to a cracking start.

From the awesome kids of the Red Bull Elite Youth Cup, to the screaming 2 stroke racers of the Fuchs-Silkolene 2 Stroke British championship, through to the country’s top stars in the Red Bull Pro Nationals races themselves they’ll be some great bar banging action. With a few of the top pros like PAR Honda’s Brad Anderson carrying injuries into the race it’s going to be interesting to see who comes out on top but whatever happens defending pro champions Carl Nunn (MVR-D Suzuki) MX1 and Neville Bradshaw (Samsung / Maxxis Yamaha) MX2 will have to be at their best to hold the others back.

Of course they’ll also be the Live FMX Tour doing their flippin’ crazy antics, the Suzuki mx try out experience, VIP Hospitality, the big TV screen, trade stands, plenty of refreshments, some chilled out and pumping music and the dynamic duo of Jack Burnicle and Roger Warren taking you through the action for the whole weekend.

They’ll also be the chance for you to do your bit for Sport Relief over the weekend. After the Saturday programme of races the MCF will be laying on a one mile running course so those that wish to do their bit for charity can do the Sport Relief mile. Each entrant will be issued with a transponder to register their time and will then be required to pay a minimum of 50 pence per the closest minute to the Sport Relief cause. Of course if anyone is brave enough to put their rate per minute up higher than 50 pence they are more than welcome! Then for those that are gasping for a drink there’s the Red Bull Party that night where they can quench their thirst and brag about their race times!

Gates open at 8.30am on both Saturday and Sunday with the action starting at 9am.

The Red Bull Pro Nationals and the Foxhill Moto Parc will be heavily signposted from major trunk roads around Swindon and from junction 15 of the M4. Just follow the bright yellow signs.
