Moose Racing Riders Dominate Across the Globe

03/15/10

With the AMA Arenacross Series winding down, Moose Racing rider Tyler Bowers, increased his points lead this past weekend at the Council Bluffs, Iowa round.

Friday night action inside the Mid American center saw Bowers grab the premier class holeshot and lead wire-to-wire to claim his ninth win of the 2010 season. Behind him, Moose Racing teammate Chad Johnson charged back from a rough start to claim the runner-up position ahead of Thor MX rider Jeff Gibson.

Saturday night's podium was filled with three very familiar faces as the Moose Racing trio of Bowers, Johnson and Josh Demuth swept the podium for the sixth time this year! All three riders battled bar-to-bar and each held the lead at one point throughout the 25-lap main event. When the checkered flag flew, Demuth was the winner followed by Johnson and Bowers.

The man to beat in the Lites class was Moose Racing's Daniel Aulsaybrook who raced to a second place finish on Friday night and took top honors on Saturday night, his first career victory! Just like the premier class, Moose Racing swept the podium on Saturday night with Aulsaybrook leading the way, followed by series points leader A.J. Catanzaro and in the third position, for the second night in a row, was Jim Neese.

Bowers and Catanzaro are still in control of the championships in their respective classes as the series heads to Dayton, Ohio and the Nutter Center for the penultimate round of competition next weekend.

On the other side of the pond, Moose Racing off-road rider Tom Sagar added another victory to his impressive resume as he took the win in the second round of the Putoline XC Championship held at Buildwas in Shropshire, United Kingdom.

The technical four-mile course was no match for Sagar as he dominated the 2.5-hour race from start to finish, proving he is a force to be reckoned with aboard his new Suzuki RMX450Z.

After taking the win, Sagar had this to say, "This event was a great opportunity to try the new bike in really technical and challenging terrain and it came up trumps."

Team manager Paul Edmondson offered, "Another great result for Tom and the RMX. He's able to ride within his limits and still take victory, which is clearly very positive as we get ready for world competition in the coming weeks and of course the second round of the British Enduro Championship before that."

The next round of the Putoline XC Championship is set for Sunday 11th April at the Butts Quarry, Ashover, Derbyshire.
