2011 WMX National Numbers
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - After an action-packed 2010 MotorcycleUSA.com Women's Motocross Championship season in which DNA Shred Stix/Star Racing Yamaha's Jessica Patterson was able to capture her record sixth WMX title, MX Sports Pro Racing announces the 2011 list of WMX national numbers.
Beginning last season, MX Sports Pro Racing implemented a new numbering system for the women's national championship. In years past, riders selected their numbers based on availability and order of selection was determined by where a rider finished in the standings the previous season. While the champion was designated to wear the number one plate, all other competitors were permitted to select any number that was available.

The 2010 campaign marked the debut of a new numbering system that determines a rider's number by where she finished the previous season. As a result, one's finishing position in the championship would serve as her number for the following season.
For just the second time in her career, Ashley Fiolek will wear a number other than #1, earning #2 for 2011.
