July 20, 2010, 12:24pm
Medford, OR – Defending WMX champion Ashley Fiolek doubles her holeshots at Round 5 of the 2010 MotoUSA.com Women’s Motocross Championship in Millville, Minnesota, winning both Motorcycle-USA.com $250 Holeshot Awards. In Moto 1, Fiolek launched her Honda CRF250R into the point position, but was soon engaged in an epic battle with her nemesis, Jessica Patterson. After swapping the lead several times, at the checkers it was Patterson with the advantage. A mistake by the Honda holeshot artist dropped her to third for the opening race.
Moto 2 was just as exciting. Once again Fiolek had perfect clutch and throttle timing off the starting gate and looked to redeem her loss in the opener. Racing conditions had deteriorated with nasty weather and the women faced a difficult track for their second outing. Patterson was able to slip past on her way to a perfect day, but the DMA Shred Stix Yamaha pilot crashed on Lap 7, allowing the defending champ to once again inherit the front-runner position. JP would recover for second in the moto but her 1-2 score topped Fiolek’s 3-1 for the overall victory. Patterson, a two-time holeshot winner herself this season, extended her championship lead to 28 points.
