WASHOUGAL, WA, JULY 27
Like a hungry pit bull, Stefy Bau continued her
domination of the Women's Motocross League
Outdoor National Championship Series,
sweeping both motos at Washougal and
stretching her lead to 50 points over now-second-placed rider Jessica Patterson.
Jacki Hudson took the holeshot in the first
moto and kept the point position for one lap
until she fell and handed the lead to Sarah
Whitmore. Sau had a midpack start but quickly worked her way from eighth to first. Once
out front, she settled into her pace and began
putting some real estate between herself and
Tania Satchwell, who by then was defending
second position against an attack by Patterson. Eventually, Patterson got the better of
Satchwell, but not before Sau had put a comfortable cushion between herself and the rest
of the field (she even had time to give her
mechanic a high-five as she came around on
the final lap), and Husqvarna-mounted Vania
Medrano got around early leader Hudson to
claim fourth position.
When the gate dropped for the second
moto, it was Bau who got the holeshot, with
Hudson in tow this time as they made their
first trip around the scenic Washougal track.
Defending champ Satchwell's hopes for a
moto win were all but lost when she went
down on the first lap, letting much of the pack
get by and leaving her to play catch-up.
Behind the Hondas of Bau and Hudson,
Sheena Patterson fought off Medrano and
2000 WML champion Jessica Patterson. Jessica waited until the time was right and then
passed both Medrano and Sheena, moving
from fifth to third in one clean outside pass,
and then went on to take second away from
Hudson, who ended up third in the moto and
on the day. Medrano took another fourth for
fourth overall, while Satchwell rounded out the
top five, which was also her overall finish.
Bau cruised to her second mota win of the
day and the overall.
"IAI I-I was really good; I'm superhappy." said the V3/UFO/SRS-backed Hondo
rider. "My first moto, I didn't start really good,
around 7 or 8, but I make my way up. Second
moto, I just took a holeshot, took off and won
the race."
With this, her second win (the other being
at Budds Creek), and two second-place finishes, the 1999 WML champion has extended her
lead over another former WML champ, Jessi-
