Monday Kickstart – Southwick MX 2012

After riding as a fill-in rider for the JGR/Toyota/Yamaha team for the first part of the season, Kyle Regal is now on his own and aboard a privateer Yamaha in the 450 class. We snapped this pic of him conferring with his old sponsor Merge Racing between practice sessions.

Geico Honda’s Justin Barcia was sporting these very cool chrome Allsport Dynamics wrist braces. In the motos, Barcia got tangled up in a pileup in the second turn during the first moto, but climbed back up to finish seventh. In the second, he finished fourth for fifth overall.

In the WMX racing action, Honda's Ashley Fiolek dominated both motos, going 1-1 on the day. In doing so, she closed within five points leader Jessica Patterson.

See you next week at Unadilla!
