P30
FASNACHT FASTEST AT PALA WMX
P
ala Raceway was the battle-
ground for round three of the
Onsia Sound Art Women's Mo-
tocross Championship (WMX),
April 8-9, and it was Kawasaki's
Kylie Fasnacht who won both
motos in come-from-behind
performances.
JM Racing's-backed Brandy
Richards led the charge in moto
one, taking the MyLucasOil.com
holeshot and holding onto the
lead for a couple laps. A small
miscue by Richards was enough
to let BLK RDR/Motovan.com/
KTM-supported Eve Brodeur
take over the lead. Richards was
back up and in hot pursuit of
Brodeur when Fasnacht started
to make up ground from her
mediocre start. Richards bit the
dirt once again and it was now
Fasnacht on the heels of the
Canadian rider Brodeur. The
track was tight, so Fasnacht had
to be patient and pick the right
spot to pass Brodeur, eating a
lot of Pala roost along the way.
Fasnacht took the win, Bro-
deur was second and Richards
remounted to capture third.
Lauren Woods finished fourth,
followed by Amanda Brown and
Brittany Gagne.
"In my first moto, I came off
with like a fifth-place start, and
I knew I didn't belong back
there, so I just put my head
down and started picking them
off one by one," said Fasnacht.
"I caught up to Eve and Brandy
and was behind them for a little
bit. Unfortunately, Brandy went
down and left the track open for
Eve, so I played it smart as the
track was tight in some spots.
I tried not to stay super close
Kylie Fasnacht put in another
great day, winning both motos and
moving into the overall lead in the
WMX series points.
