he motocross world will probably never really know just how close we all came to seeing Jeffrey Herlings, the reigning FIM Motocross World Champion and current FMOTP (fastest man on the planet), spending his summer racing here in Lucas Oil Pro Motocross. Herlings, unable to line up in the early MXGP rounds after badly injuring his foot in preseason training, was hoping to be ready by mid-May in order to cross the Atlantic to race against U.S.-based rivals like Eli Tomac, Ken Roczen, Marvin Musquin, and more. The Dutchman had gotten a taste of American motocross in 2017 through a cameo appearance at the last AMA round in Indiana, posting a convincing win. Now, with the MXGP title lost, he had a unique chance to race in America for a summer without having to go through the meat grinder that supercross often becomes for imported talent.
There was immediate pushback from some in the European MX media, who talked about it ending badly for Jeffrey—and they may have had a point if he’d lost, as Ryan Villopoto found out in 2015 when he went to Europe for a short, ill-advised misadventure.
Food for thought: Eliminate career numbers, with the exception of 450SX or 450 MX champions. No longer perpetuate triskaidekaphobia (the irrational fear or avoidance of the number 13 for the homeschoolers). A rider who earns #13 should not be afforded the arrogance of choice and deny a working-class racer the privilege of being rewarded the national number he or she has legitimately earned. Riders who earn one of those bottom spots just inside the top 99 are typically privateers, whose programs are often elevated in sponsor opportunities and national recognition by this achievement. A lot of time, dedication, money, blood, sweat, tears, and sacrifice—not only by the racer, but many other supporters—helped put them there.
Art, I don’t think it’s fair that you penalize someone who does that well with the burden of having to wear #13 so that one more rider can get a two-digit number. I know a few guys who raced with #13 and were rather unlucky with it—the late Gaylon Mosier and the late Brian Swink come to mind, as well as Ricky Johnson, Sebastien Tortelli, and Jessy Nelson. I know the numbering system isn’t perfect right now, but I still think it works well. DC

ith the supercross series winding down (I’m writing this with two races to go), I thought it would be a good time to sift through the good and the bad from the 2019 season. Before the main event blasted off at Anaheim 1 this year, very few would have picked Cooper Webb to be your 2019 champion. Even though “Coop” showed amazing speed and grit on the 250, it hadn’t translated to the 450 yet; his two seasons at Yamaha didn’t have many bright spots. Was that due to bikes? Personal issues? Attitude? Confidence? All the above? Regardless, his ride at the opening round was quietly impressive, and things just kept getting better from there.

ere in the world of sports arguments, we want to talk about people, not parts. We all think we’re experts in the mental state of human beings—we’ve all walked around this earth with a brain having thoughts, right?—but our experience in race teams’ technical development is fairly limited. Also, that stuff is not fun to talk about. Parts don’t have a soul. They don’t create drama. Thus, all sports debates go in two directions: You have the camp that talks solely about who “wants it” or who is “complacent” or “confident.” That’s fun. You have another side that believes winning is simply a game of numbers, with stats and strategies trumping all.
You know something? The latter group is probably right. Statistical analytics have completely changed how stick and ball games are won. In motorsports, you can talk about the confidence, momentum, or determination of the drivers. Meanwhile, the fastest car wins.
FIVE GUYS, ONE QUESTION | BY AARON HANSEL 
Survival of the fittest | BY Jason Weigandt t’s easy to believe athletes of the past were tougher and gnarlier, but the reality is that, 25 years ago, riders were hurting. Literally. Like, during the motos. In the 1994 AMA 250 National Motocross Championship, only Kawasaki teammates Mike LaRocco and Mike Kiedrowski appeared fit enough to charge for 30 minutes plus two laps. Then Kiedrowski, the ’93 champ, got hurt, leaving LaRocco to suck up all the race wins.
“I’ve been able to ride with him for 20, 25 minutes, but he’s really strong, and it’s going to take someone who is equal to that,” Jeff Stanton said of LaRocco to ESPN. “I’ll be honest, there’s nobody here right now that’s equal to him, and that includes myself. I’m not fully up to strength, and right now no one has the strength he has, none of my teammates, and no one in the Yamaha or Suzuki pits.”
Stanton was an ironman but on the verge of retirement by then. Only 28-year-old veteran privateer John Dowd, taking an unlikely star turn as a Yamaha factory replacement rider, was able to beat LaRocco for a few race wins. LaRocco won the title by a ridiculous 150 points.

ome changes have been made to scheduling and the rulebook for the 2019 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship—most obviously the venue changes in Southern California to Fox Raceway at Pala on May 25, and then the brand-new stop at WW Ranch in Jacksonville, Florida, on June 22. Fox Raceway has actually held two nationals (2010 and ’11), but this is the first for WW Ranch, as well as the first time an AMA Pro Motocross race had been held in the Sunshine State since 1997.
The 125 All Star Series program has expanded to all 12 rounds and will be open to both expert and intermediate riders over the age of 15, as well as former professionals. Look for the likes of Ryan Villopoto, Ryan Sipes, Wil Hahn, Josh Hansen, and more to line up with a bunch of fast kids at some point this summer.

familiar venue and a completely new one join the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross schedule for 2019. Fox (formerly Pala) Raceway returns to the schedule for the first time since 2011 and marks the second round of the championship. Round five will travel to Florida and WW Ranch in Jacksonville. The venue hosted the 2017 USGP, but this is its debut on the Pro Motocross schedule.

his month’s segment is a technically advanced skill, but it’s something I believe every rider can and should work on. Ken Roczen and Stefan Everts are two of the most technically sound riders our sport has seen since Jeremy McGrath, Jean-Michel Bayle, or David Bailey. And one thing both of these world champions have in common is keeping their feet on the pegs as much as possible. Everts was known for standing where most other riders would sit, and Roczen has really taken that and adopted his own style of cornering. While he prefers to sit through more turns than Everts, he keeps his feet on the pegs. This doesn’t apply to all turns—ones with long ruts or flat turns better suit having your foot out—but in the right type of corner, watch Ken sit with his feet on the pegs and flow around a turn. It’s a thing of beauty.
In this section, the turn has a tight “hook” in it, but the rut is quite deep. It was actually difficult to keep my foot above the ground because the rut dropped down and the soil inside the rut was high, so I was going through this corner and keeping my feet on the pegs à la Ken Roczen. While you have to stay focused on balance, it was less effort to actually go through the turn, and I never got my foot hung up or dragged my leg behind me.
Crockett Myers: So far I’ve been pleased with my riding at the spring races. I’m really feeling good on the new bike, and things are starting to click. I finished on the podium at each event I attended so far this spring: second at Daytona, got a first and second at Spring a Ding Ding, and a second at Freestone.

As far as brand names in this sport go, few ring with the power of Pro Circuit, the company that best married aftermarket performance with professional racing success. Yet, when you say “Pro Circuit,” everyone really thinks “Mitch”—as in company founder Mitch Payton.
Everyone knows Mitch. Everyone has a Mitch story (for a decade, we even made “Favorite Mitch Payton story?” a 2 Tribes question). This is a competitive world, but there’s too much respect for Mitch for anyone to be disrespectful. So when the tide turned and Pro Circuit finally stopped winning, it wasn’t Mitch’s engine building or business sense that got him back on top.
It took some help from his friends. And when you have more friends than anyone else, that’s a lot of help.

The Owyhee Motorcycle Club was formed in 1940 to promote motorcycling in what’s known as the Treasure Valley of Idaho. They’ve held countless events out there, everything from TT to trials, poker runs to enduro. As a matter of fact, motocross history was made there on June 25, 1972, when a California kid named Gary Jones became the first American to win a major international motocross race, blitzing his 170-pound Yamaha “Y2” MX 250 to all three moto wins at the Boise Inter-Am. Finishing second was Torsten Hallman, the Swedish motocross legend around whom promoter Edison Dye had built his Inter-Am Series in the late sixties and early seventies. Cycle News described Jones’ day as “an absolutely superb performance of motocross artistry”—and it would have to have been to finally beat the Europeans, Hallman included. It was such a surprise that the promoter didn’t have a tape of “The Star-Spangled Banner” to play during the trophy ceremony, and the person who sang it before the race having left shortly thereafter. Jones’ non-contingency bonus for being the first American to do it? A crisp $100 bill.

Mullins tried everything to recover, even training with Aldon Baker for a spell. By Steele Creek ’16, he nailed the holeshot in storybook fashion, but one big hit from one of Steele Creek’s numerous square-edged bumps tweaked his wrist again. He pulled off the track and soon called it a career.
At Steele Creek 2019, he was back, holeshotting and this time winning. Only this time he was on a completely different type of machine.

roper cable lubrication and maintenance is a much bigger part of a smooth ride than most people think. In this edition of Factory Tech Tip, learn how to keep your levers and throttle responsive, snappy, and smooth.
We started out with some contact cleaner. We used a Motion Pro cable cleaner and cable luber to work in the cleaner and lube. We started out with contact cleaner to remove all the debris, oils, and grease that was in the cable to begin with.
We then removed the cable luber and aired out the cable, forcing air down through it. That helps dry out the cable and remove the contact cleaner.
Pretty much the same principle: clean out the old debris from the cable using contact cleaner, then air it out. Then we used WD-40 down the actual cable guides in the throttle tube (the black cable guide, where it actually goes into the housing). We sprayed WD-40 in those grooves and then worked it down through the cable.
I like to put a little grease on the guide itself where the cable runs in the black guide and work that in and out so it’s nice and even. This will make a difference on how the cable feels when twisting the throttle once everything is assembled again.
hat if we told you that the 1988 Anaheim and San Diego Supercross races, run on January 30 and February 20, respectively, and both won by Team Honda’s Ricky Johnson, don’t actually count in the records books? Go ahead and have a look in the Racer X Online Vault. They aren’t there.
Back in the late eighties, former business partners Mickey Thompson and Mike Goodwin were battling over the right to run supercross races. The Mickey Thompson Entertainment Group (MTEG) had come into supercross from off-road truck racing and was now taking on Goodwin’s Supercross Inc. (SXI), which in 1972 had pretty much invented the sport as we know it. After their breakup, Thompson acquired exclusive rights to all motorsports promotions in Southern California. However, Goodwin’s SXI had a preexisting deal with the AMA to exclusively promote AMA-sanctioned supercross races in Southern California, and he would not release those rights to Thompson. In order to counter the planned Anaheim opener, Goodwin announced that, on the very same night, he would be holding the AMA-sanctioned ’88 supercross opener on the other side of the country in Atlanta—all this despite the fact that Goodwin’s SXI had filed for bankruptcy.
