Round 2 of the 2009 Monster Energy Motocross Nationals at Wild Rose MX
Park in Calgary, AB turned out to be a repeat of the opening round,
with clean sweeps for Colton Facciotti in MX1, Dean Wilson in MX2, and
Heidi Cooke in the Women’s Pro Nationals.
For Toyota Yamaha Blackfoot Red Bull Fox Racing’s Colton Facciotti it
was business as usual as he dominated both motos, making it look easy
in the process. Adding the icing on the cake for Calgary-based
Blackfoot Racing was the second overall recorded by Facciotti’s
teammate Dusty Klatt. Klatt, who cleared the task on the strength of
3-2 motos, also duplicated his Round 1 results as did Monster Energy
Cernics Kawasaki’s Paul Carpenter, with 2-3 motos for third overall.
Once Facciotti took control from Carpenter, who pegged the first moto
holeshot to lead for a brief period, the race was a done deal. Klatt
eventually put on a charge to displace Carpenter from second spot but
he was having trouble finding the right lines trying to pass other
riders before he was able to chase down the American. Carpenter’s
cousin and Monster Energy Cernics Kawasaki teammate, Jack Carpenter,
more or less rode his own race to finish fourth ahead of Rockstar
Suzuki OTSFF’s Tyler Medaglia.
Medaglia had settled into a comfortable fifth place after a good start
until he was passed by his teammate and younger brother Jeremy
Medaglia. But with three laps to go the younger Medaglia, who had
charged through the pack after a bad start, had little left in him and
was repassed by Tyler as well as Monster Energy Cernics Kawasaki’s
Bobby Kiniry.
In the second moto, Klatt nailed the holeshot but once again a super
motivated Facciotti wasted little time to take the lead. Klatt stayed
with his teammate till about the 20 minute mark, dropped back a bit,
and then spent the rest of the moto keeping Paul Carpenter behind him.
This time Tyler Medaglia, after another good start, finished fourth
while Kiniry, who had to claw his way through the pack, finished
fifth. Medaglia carded fourth overall for his effort; Kiniry sealed
the top five.
In the volatile MX2 class, Canidae Motorsport Monster Energy
Kawasaki’s Dean Wilson again towered head and shoulders above the
competition to convincingly win both motos. In the first moto, he
quickly took the lead and left the chase group behind him. Leading
Edge Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Teddy Maier finished a distant second
ahead of Toyota Yamaha Blackfoot Red Bull Fox Racing’s Aron Harvey,
Royal Distributing KTM’s Kyle McGlynn, and Monster Energy Thor Leading
Edge Kawasaki’s Brock Hoyer respectively.
In the second moto, Wilson took command of the moto around the fifth
lap and basically checked out again. Leading Edge Kawasaki’s Nick
Evennou, who along with Harvey ran in the top five for the entire
moto, would go on to finish second. Harvey claimed second overall on
the day thanks to his 3-3 motos. Evennou, who finished seventh in moto
one, snagged third overall.
McGlynn, riding another consistent moto, ended fifth behind Harvey’s
teammate Kyle Beaton, taking fourth overall in the process. Rounding
out the top five overall was Maier who finished ninth in the second
moto. Beaton, still suffering from a first round hand injury, rose to
the occasion to finish seventh overall, after finishing 12th in the
first moto.
In the Royal Distributing Women’s Nationals Presented by Suzuki,
Monster Energy Cernics Kawasaki’s Heidi Cooke ensured that Calgary was
a total rerun of Kamloops as far as the battle for first place. She
took no prisoners and raced her own race to convincingly win both
motos. Rockstar Suzuki OTSFF’s Jocelyn Killough again claimed second
overall on the day, this time on the strength of 2-2 motos. Denaye
Giroux (Yam) sealed the podium with third on the strength of 4-3.
