When riders don new numbers, it’s always a rush for members of the media to get that first glimpse of the future, and California’s Spencer Owens got just that with Adam Cianciarulo sporting his new single-digit #9. Spencer spent the morning at the Kawasaki test track and knocked it out of the park with our cover and poster for this month’s Racer X.
Brothers Logan and Jordan Martin are lifelong dirt bike enthusiasts from Fairmont, West Virginia, who, for some crazy reason, wanted to try a 24-hour race this year. The two picked up an old Honda XR400 and gave it their all at the Kenda Northeast 24 Hour Challenge by Arcadia Bark Busters, with help from their entire family working the pits. Read how it all happened in “All Night Long” starting on page 100.
After several years of wet weather, sunshine finally greeted riders and race fans when they gathered at the refurbished Ironman Raceway for the 2019 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross finale. Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Eli Tomac, the series champion for three years, closed out his season with a win, while Monster Energy/Yamalube/Star Racing Yamaha’s Dylan Ferrandis won both 250 motos.

On the same day the 2019 Motocross of Nations was besieged by rainstorms in Holland, Rockstar Energy/Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Thad Duvall survived billowing layers of dust that lined the Mason-Dixon GNCC to win the event for the second straight year. All of the racers were confronted with talcum-powder-like dust following an autumn dry spell in southwestern Pennsylvania. Duvall made up some ground in the point standings on series frontrunner Kailub Russell after the defending GNCC #1 struggled to keep his bike running at the end of the nearly three-hour race.

Team Honda’s Tommy Croft launches toward the mechanics’ signaling area on his way to a first-moto win in the 250 support class at the 1975 Trans-AMA race at Northern California’s Carnegie Cycle Park. Later in the day, Roger De Coster snapped his RN370 Suzuki factory bike in half off this same jump, knocking the series points leader out of the Trans-AMA Series. Fortunately, there was only one round left, and The Man had already wrapped up the series title by that point.

hen our friends Logan and Jordan Martin decided to team up and race the Kenda Northeast 24 Hour Challenge by Arcadia Bark Busters, they decided to do it aboard an old Honda XR400, Scott Summers-style. It was an odd choice for a grueling race, as those mid-nineties XR thumpers were as heavy as they were hard to start. The Martins, as you will read in their feature “All Night Long” that begins on page 100, found themselves with a whole new appreciation for what Summers managed to accomplish in his AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame career.
Racer X Magazine.
One of the big issues in our industry is attracting new riders or trying to have a versatile lineup of products that suits everybody’s needs. Recently we’ve been seeing “cheap as possible” dirt bikes for the weekend warrior who doesn’t race and just wants to go out and have fun without breaking the bank. I commend Kawasaki on their release of the KLX300R, and I look forward for reviews on how the machine performs.
But what about these off-brand bikes? Sure, the majority of us would consider them junk or throwaway bikes, but the questions remains: are they any good? For example, the SSR SR450 or the Kayo K6. Forget about comparing them to any of the Japanese or European OEMs, because that’ll be a never-ending debate. From the standpoint of the average Joe who’s not a racer, would these bikes be sufficient enough to have fun? I’d be curious to see some of these off-brand models tested and reviewed.
Dan Sutera // La Habra, CA
Dan, thanks for the note. I’ve personally been tooling around on an Alta lately, and while it isn’t on the level of a 450F, it’s a lot of fun, and I can ride it pretty much anywhere. (Well, anywhere close.) We will mention your idea to Ping and see if we can get him to try some off-brands for Racer X Online—thank for the suggestion! DC

here are two things motocross fans don’t like: change . . . and the way things are. That’s a phrase I use about firemen when we sit around the coffee table and complain about things, but it applies perfectly to motocross fans too. We are a fickle group when it comes to how we want the stars of the sport to act, aren’t we? If they’re too reserved and quiet, we call them boring and robotic. If they’re too outspoken and boisterous, we label them loudmouths and arrogant. These guys can’t win! So what are we looking for from these guys? We all have different opinions about how these riders should act, but here’s my two cents.

easons versus excuses. That becomes a pitched battle as soon as the FIM Monster Energy Motocross of Nations concludes. Monday-morning quarterbacking is normal for any sport, with fans spouting theories as to why their team lost. The losing coach and players have to give reasons after the game, and that’s understandable. It all looks different under the prism of nationalism, though.
If Team USA doesn’t win the Motocross of Nations, blaming anything for the loss—luck, conditions, scheduling—is just a jab at the winners and their fans. Lately, in the face of a mounting losing streak, the Team USA riders have taken the high road. Last year at RedBud, Team USA’s Justin Barcia, Eli Tomac, and Aaron Plessinger trudged out of their team trucks for our Best Post-Race Show Ever. Tomac spoke first and quickly went to the magic words: “We got beat.” Barcia, behind him, let out a sigh of relief. “We just got beat” became the mantra. Behind the scenes, all the riders were befuddled by RedBud’s different track prep and feel. Maybe five weeks off of racing hurt too. We wrote an entire magazine feature on the loss last year. And the year before that. Whatever—if you’re the rider, don’t make excuses.
Except the rest of us can’t help ourselves. We want reasons! The American fans and moto industry are still bewildered and confused over this losing streak, spoiled after winning 22 times in 31 years.
FIVE GUYS, ONE QUESTION | BY AARON HANSEL
Martin Davalos: By The Numbers
cuador’s Martin Davalos has had quite the run in professional racing, dating back to his professional debut, at the St. Louis Supercross on February 18, 2006. The veteran 250 contender and brand-new father has earned a national number each year and has finally pointed out of the 250SX class. Now a free agent, he’s looking for a 450 ride in 2020, so let’s take a look at his career number by number. Davalos was #577 from his first race in 2006 through the 2010 season, where he earned national #23. He’s run his earned number ever since.
The Dogger Gets His Due | BY DAVEY COOMBS
hen the AMA announced its Motorcycle Hall of Fame Class of 2019, sighs of relief could be heard all around the motocross world. For the first time since 2014, an SX/MX racer was voted in by the AMA Life Members and living Hall of Famers who make up the electorate. Ron “Dogger” Lechien, one of the biggest and most controversial stars of eighties supercross and motocross, finally got enough votes to make it in.
Joining Lechien in the Class of ’19 is the late Kurt Caselli, the off-road legend who passed away in 2013 while racing in the Baja 1000, as well as motorcycle rights advocate Mark Buckner, trials pioneer Wiltz Wagner, and museum founder Dale Walksler.
Lechien, whose cause was championed by many of the sport’s top journalists, including our own contributors Steve Matthes and Brett Smith, will become the first motocrosser since Mike LaRocco to enter the Motorcycle Hall of Fame based strictly on his race results. Bob Moore, the 1994 FIM 125cc World Champion, was inducted in 2017, in part for cofounding the Road 2 Recovery charitable foundation. With his 26 SX/MX wins in one of the sport’s most competitive decades, as well as three winning appearances with Team USA at the Motocross des Nations and a 125 AMA Pro Motocross Championship, Lechien should have been an easy choice, but due to the lack of representation of SX/MX enthusiasts in voting, as well as some of his own off-track antics late in his career, he missed the cut several times. Now he will join fellow eighties superstars David Bailey, Broc Glover, Rick Johnson, Johnny O’Mara, and Jeff Ward in the Motorcycle Hall of Fame.

effrey Herlings has often been proclaimed as FMOTP (fastest man on the planet), and with good reason: he’s the only rider in the world with both an AMA 450 Class National win (Ironman ’17) and MGXP win (many times). Although he only won two races in 2019 due to injuries, they were big ones—literally. By taking the last two rounds in Turkey and China, we thought Herlings may have captured the flag of more countries (and more space) than any riders in the sport’s history. But digging deeper, we found out he’s actually tied with two other legends—Stefan Everts and Antonio Cairoli—at wins in 24 countries each. Check out their impressive nation lists to the right, and the first race where they captured the flag.

MULTI-LINED RIGHT-HANDER

MULTI-LINED RIGHT-HANDER
his month’s sequence is something you’ll find often on racetracks, and it’s a technique that isn’t used often enough. Right-hand corners are more difficult because you lose the ability to use the rear brake the moment you commit to sitting and putting your foot out. If the turn is flat or has a big berm, this isn’t much of an issue. However, if the turn has a long rut, or one that bends and straightens, it can be extremely technical.
This turn is a 90-degree right-hander with a rut that has a hook at the beginning, a straighter section, and then a second hook to complete the turn. If you attempt to negotiate the corner with your foot out, timing is critical, and a dab of the foot can leave you dragging your Tech 10 behind you like a boat anchor for most of the turn.
I advocate for standing up more. You’ll hear me preach this often because some of the world’s best riders keep their feet on the pegs as much as possible. Doing so lets you maintain more control of the bike, minimizes the chances of injuring your knees and ankles, and saves energy. It’s a no-brainer, right?
Racer X: You’re heading to Europe to do some training and to watch the MXoN in the Netherlands. Tell us aboch is why I think tracks like Lommel will help me progress and prepare to become a professional racer.ut that.
Alessio Sasso: Yeah, so my dad and I are going to the Netherlands to watch the Motocross of Nations and ride a little bit over there. I’ve never been to the Netherlands or a Motocross of Nations, so I’m stoked!
Do you think training on a rough track like Lommel in Belgium will help you here in the states?
Absolutely. I think that being able to consistently train on rough, deep tracks like Lommel will help with my progress and overall ability on a dirt bike. The tracks over here in California are great because they’re open most days of the week, but they aren’t the best for training because they don’t get as rough as it does during race time. And it especially doesn’t get rough like Loretta Lynn’s, which is why I think tracks like Lommel will help me progress and prepare to become a professional racer.

THE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP MIKE TYSON was once asked about the question of strategy in his fights. Iron Mike just shrugged and said, “Everyone has a plan until you get punched in the face.” For Team USA at the 73rd Annual FIM Motocross of Nations, that punch in the face came early, and it was a devastating blow. After months of controversy and debate about who even wanted to be on the starting gate at the Assen TT circuit in the sandy North Atlantic region of the Netherlands, and then weeks abroad preparing—and even a hot minute of looking like real contenders for a first win in seven years—the jarring punch came in the second corner of the first moto for MX2/Open riders. That’s when teammates Jason Anderson and Justin Cooper somehow found each other in a pack of 40 riders, splashing around in a deluge of cold, steady rain and heavy sand and crashing together in a heap, tearing the clutch perch off Cooper’s bike, smashing his left hand, and leaving both riders in the back of the pack. Less than 15 seconds after the long-awaited race had finally started, even those back home watching the TV feed (which looked like it was being shot through the periscope of a surfacing submarine) knew Team USA was already knocked out. |

“We should race a 24-hour race,” Logan suggested. Just the idea should have raised alarms. Then he added, “Oh, and let’s go find an old Scott Summers-style Honda XR, fix it up, and ride that the whole 24 hours, full retro-style. I mean, how hard can it be?”

his month we’re putting on a fresh set of graphics—and it’s not just as easy as putting a sticker on a wall. You’ll need an 8mm or 10mm T-handle to remove your seat, a heat gun, contact cleaner, towels, and an X-Acto knife.
First, remove the old graphics kit by heating them up—that will bring a lot of the glue with it. If you just try to pull them off cold, most of the glue will stick to the bike, making cleanup a lot harder. Use a heat gun. (I don’t recommend using a torch—open flames aren’t a good idea around gas.) Once the old graphics are off, clean the plastic and get off all the old glue with some contact cleaner.
Once your graphics are in place and everything is looking good, if there’s any excess hanging off the edge of the plastic, use an X-Acto knife or a razor knife and cut that edge, about 2-3mm off—just enough to get you back up onto your plastic so you don’t have that extra graphic sticking over the edge. Again, when you move up to your shroud, do the same thing. Align the larger pieces first and then you can do your smaller pieces.
eam USA had fallen on tough times. After absolutely dominating the 1996 FIM Motocross des Nations in Jerez, Spain, they’d failed to even reach the podium in Belgium (’97), Great Britain (’98), and Brazil (’99). Leading up to the 2000 event in St. Jean D’Angely, France, a highly motivated home team was ready and waiting to take them down again. France had never won the “Olympics of Motocross,” but they were fielding two multi-time FIM World Champions in Sebastien Tortelli and Frederic Bolley, as well as AMA 125 West Region Supercross Champion Stephane Roncada.

Who would play you in a movie?
HL: Probably Thor.
JL: Zac Efron.
Last person who made you nervous?
HL: Young Asian girls texting while driving on the 91 Freeway.
JL: No one makes me nervous.
Favorite person in the pits?
HL: Have to give it up to the privateers. I respect their hustle and grind to show up at the races every weekend. Without them, we wouldn’t have a full gate!
JL: Jo Shimoda.
Thing you’re looking forward to most about 2020?
HL: Definitely the racing and doing a supercross season. Living in my new house is also going to be wicked.
JL: Kicking Hunter’s ass.
Most common part you break?
HL: After my collarbone performances this past year, I’d say collarbone.
JL: Girls’ hearts.
Worst part of being brothers?
HL: Normal brother dramas and crap.
JL: Seeing his face when I wake up in the morning.
Angriest you’ve ever gotten with each other on the track?
HL: When Jett would blow all the ruts out and just destroy lines. It makes me want to punch him in the face.
JL: We’re pretty chill when we’re on the track, but it’ll change.
Funniest memory of working with Ken Roczen’s dad, Heiko Klepka?
HL: We were making a smoothie and the blender broke, spilling all over the table. We drank it through straws off the table.
JL: His colorful English.
Least favorite competitor?
HL: The knucklehead who tries their absolute hardest to not let you past, then when you pass them, they’re spent and drop four more positions. You’re better off sacrificing one than losing five!
JL: Hunter.
There’s so much opportunity to make something of your life here and to make good money.” —HL

When French team captain Gautier Paulin’s motorcycle stopped running on the last lap of the last moto of the 2019 Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations, it catapulted Great Britain to a third-place finish—for the third consecutive year. The Brits’ recent run of success comes after a 21-year absence from the podium in what’s considered the Olympics of motocross. This year’s team consisted of the veteran Shaun Simpson, young Adam Sterry, and Nathan Watson, who is actually an enduro and beach racer. The unlikely trio was managed by Mark Chamberlain, seen here drinking from the third-place trophy, officially known as the Coupe des Nations. Well done, lads!
