Avis close to his first top five position in the MX1 class in Bulgaria
M2R Helmets / Made2Race Clothing Wyatt Avis's Personal Race Report, from Motocrossplanet.nl
The Sarholz KTM rider Wyatt Avis rode a strong Bulgarian Grand Prix last Sunday in Sevlievo. In the first moto he scored his best result of the year with a sixth position. In the second moto the South African crashed in the early going of the moto and had to come back trough the field to finally finish in 14th position. With these two consistent finishes he finished ninth overall at the end of the day.
On the beautiful Sevlievo circuit everything went well for Avis on Saturday. After a 24th and 22nd position in the free practice sessions he putted a fast lap together in time practice which was good enough for 16th position.
First moto:
The start of the first moto was not that well but in the first lap he could pass several riders and at the end of the first lap he came by start/finish in eight position. Wyatt rode a good pace in the beginning of the moto and could work himself up into sixth position. Avis managed to stay in this position till the end of the moto and scored his best result of his MX1 career with a 6th position.
Second moto:
Just after the first moto it started to rain in Bulgaria and when the gate dropped in the second moto the track was really wet and muddy. Wyatt’s second moto didn’t started that well because he crashed in the beginning of the moto and dropped back from 16th to 28th position. It didn’t took him so long to ride himself back into the points and in the middle of the race he had already worked himself up into 16th position. Avis kept the pace as high as possible and could pass another two riders in the closing stages of the moto to finally cross the line in 14th position.
After the Grand Prix in Bulgaria Wyatt sits in 18th position in the World Championship Standings. The Next Grand Prix will be held next weekend in Montevarchi, Italy.

06.05.06 - www.RacerXill.com Monday Conversation with M2R Helmets' Brett Metcalfe
M2R Helmets / Yamaha of Troy's Brett Metcalfe raced an invitational warm-up race this past weekend in Southwick, MA, dominating all four of his motos.

06.05.06 - Injury Report
M2R Helmets / Yamaha of Troy's Branden Jesseman was on his way to a great comeback year, after nearly fallling completely out of the moto-industry radar the previous 2 years. But a recent crash somewhat ended his comeback plan as he once again broke his wrist that has plagued him in the past.
M2R Helmets / MotoXXX's Estonian import Juss Lansoo crashed out of the first round of the AMA Motocross Nationals at Hangtown, hurting his back as a result. Although Juss had the intention of riding at round 2 in Mt. Morris, PA, the pain was too much and it was decided it would be best for him to sit out, hopefully making it back by the next round in Southwick.

06.03.06 - Speedway British Grand Prix at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium
JASON CRUMP SNATCHES ANOTHER WIN
Australian Jason Crump has again snatched the major prize by winning the British Grand Prix at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium in front of 40,000 spectators and a world-wide television audience.
As the night unfolded, the battle of the titans saw several of the leading contenders failing to make an impression in the heats and semi finals and forced to watch the final from the sidelines.
And what a final it was. American Greg Hancock took the early lead and looked set to record his first Grand Prix victory in over two years before falling on lap two, and excluded from the re-run for being the cause of the race stoppage.
And in the re-run, it was Crump who took full advantage of the second chance as he scorched to victory ahead of Sweden’s Andreas Jonsson and 24 year-old Polish sensation Jaroslaw Hampel.
For Crump, this was his third Grand Prix victory this year out of a possible four as he extended his lead in the championship to 34 points over Greg Hancock who has moved into second place overall ahead of Dane Nicki Pedersen who notched up only four points on the night.
“After my poor result at Cardiff last year, luck was on my side this year to get the result I got. I have always wanted to win here at the Millennium Stadium and to win it with many of my sponsors present makes it even better.” said the 15-times Grand Prix winner.
“Things are looking good at this stage, but there are six more rounds to go and one or two bad GP’s can change all of that. I’m just keeping my head down and getting on with the job at hand… and that’s to become World Champion again.”
Round five of the 2006 FIM Speedway World Championship takes place at the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen, Denmark on Saturday 24 June.
British Grand Prix Result: Jason Crump (M2R Helmets) 25, Andreas Jonsson 20, Jarosolaw Hampel 18, Greg Hancock 16, Bjarne Pedersen 12, Tony Rickardsson 10, Matej Zagar 9, Scott Nicholls 8, Antonio Lindback 8, Tomasz Gollob 7, Leigh Adams 6, Niels-Kristian Iversen 5, Lee Richardson 5, Nicki Pedersen 4, Simon Stead 3, Piotr Protasiewicz 3.
