BRITISH SUPERCROSS
How cool is it to wake up Monday morning to news of five Canadians racing a Supercross in London? To top it off, two of our BC boys had impressive results: Colton Facciotti won the Lites Championship and Kyle Beaton chased down Open Champion Mike Brown in the final moto of the series for the main event win.

COLTON FACCIOTTI
With the Future West ACU British Supercross Championships in the book for another year, Canada’s Colton Facciotti now has a second British SX title to his name! Facciotti won the Lites class, after finishing third in the Lites main on Saturday. He edged his Dixon Yamaha teammate Jean-Sébastien Roy by just one point to clinch the championship. Colton’s next race: the Daytona Supercross on March 7.

TREY CANARD
It’s always impressive when an amateur sensation lives up to the hype when they hit the pro class—especially when the rider is as genuine as Trey Canard. Despite the prediction of a runaway victory for Pro Circuit’s Ryan Villopoto, Canard won his heat race, grabbed the holeshot in the main event and led every lap of his first ever supercross win. Quite the debut for the Torco Racing Fuel’s Honda rider.

SUPERCROSS CLASS
Since the untimely departure of James Stewart, and the resulting domination of Chad Reed, things have actually become pretty unpredictable in the big bike class. In the last two weeks, however, two Honda riders have stepped up to the plate, with Kevin Windham winning his first SX since 2005, and Davi Millsaps taking his first career SX victory on a 450 in Atlanta. And how about Timmy Ferry and Andrew Short literally banging bars for the final podium? This title might just go down to Vegas!

TYLER MEDAGLIA
What’s that saying? Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Once again we have one of our most talented young riders trying his hand at the Eastern Region Lites SX Series. Medaglia put in a solid lap time to qualify 22nd, but unfortunately, a busted shock and sputtering motor caused him to pull off in his heat race and put him back to 11th in the LCQ.
 

DUSTY KLATT
After kicking off his SX season in Houston with a 16th place finish, Canadian fans (along with Klatt himself) were hoping for even stronger results in Atlanta. But it wasn’t to be. Klatt struggled with his practice times, and ruts, and despite a good jump in his heat race, and a strong ride in his LCQ, he missed the main event. There’s no doubt Klatt has the skills to run with this class, he just needs to put things together faster during the timed qualifiers, and take that momentum straight to the night show.
