This is round 10 of the 2011 Lucas Oil 450cc AMA Pro Motocross Championship from Motocross 338 in Southwick, MA.
Returning contenders like 450cc rookies Jake Weimer, Christophe Pourcel, and Trey Canard, Ryan Villopoto, Josh Grant, 450cc sophomores Justin Brayton and Brett Metcalfe, 2009 champ Chad Reed, Andrew Short, Mike Alessi, Michael Byrne, Davi Millsaps, and defending champ (and 450cc sophomore) Ryan Dungey battle it out for the 2011 Lucas Oil 450cc AMA Pro Motocross Championship. After being released from Monster Kawasaki in late 2010, and all the factory slots taken for the year, Chad Reed decides to dig into his own pockets and form his own team of TwoTwo Motorsports Honda, which (after a slow beginning in Supercross) christens a spark in Reed's confidence and season for almost all of 2011. This series features a 3-rider battle between Ryan Villopoto, Ryan Dungey, and Chad Reed. The series is presented with another guest in Hurricane Irene. Ryan Dungey wins the first moto, only to suffer mechanical problems before the start of moto 2; amazingly, Dungey demonstrates the heart of a champion as he comes from having no bike at the start to finish an astonishing 7th place (3rd overall). Simultaneously, 450cc rookie Justin Barcia wins the second moto in just his 4th career 450cc moto, but the real winner is Brett Metcalfe with a 3-2 performance, which turns out to be his one and only Motocross win of his career.
Enjoy.
