so far, this could very well be the
summer of orange.
Seeing Red
If there is one rider who has, so
far, shown the speed and deter-
mination to perhaps break up
the orange juggernaut it's Honda
Muscle Milk's Trey Canard. For
the second week in a row, the
Oklahoman has finished out the
day on the podium and, just like
at Glen Helen, did so after some
pretty impressive riding. Unfortu-
nately, bad starts and little mis-
takes have prevented him from
racing with Roczen and Dungey
all the way to the finish. Though
he did have a chance in the first
moto, when he got off in third
Briefly...
a pretty big get off as I was reeling
in the top-three and it knocked the
wind out of me. We've been working
hard during the week to be up front
on the weekend and we will only
continue to progress from here."
GEICO Honda's Zach Bell was im-
pressive at Hangtown, especially in
the first moto when he led briefly in
race one. Bell finished out strong
in both motos, taking fifth and 12th,
placing him eighth overall just ahead
of teammates Matt Bisceglia and
Justin Bogle in the day's overall
standings. "I'm still really excited
about my performance, especially in
that first moto," Bell said. "It's been a
long time coming for me with all of my
injuries and setbacks. When you're
beat up, it's kind of hard to be in top
shape and to be up front in conten-
tion, but I'm working on it. I got a
nice holeshot (in moto one) and was
leading for a while. After a few laps,
I fell back to second for a while and
then I dropped back to third. I made
a few mistakes allowing some guys
to get by me, but I rode strong and
finished in fifth. In the second moto I
missed a shift, so I didn't get a good
start. That made the entire race a lot
harder because I was playing catch-
up. We are going to do some good
training this week and work on being
more consistent. The first moto really
wore me out but it was better than
last week. The track today was really
rutted out and a little guy like me gets
tossed around in the deep ruts."
After getting shut out on the start of
the first moto, GEICO Honda's Matt
Bisceglia steadily moved himself
back up to a 13th-place finish. He
recorded an eighth-place in the sec-
ond moto, landing him ninth overall.
