Wednesday OneLiners - 09 July

Wednesday 09 July: Posting to the website first as an experiment!

1) No surprises that Ben Townley is racing at Conondale for Penrite Honda - love that retro ‘heritage-themed’ look.

2) That’s big news yet Penrite Honda Racing’s Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/hondamx) not been updated since 27 June ???? Worse still is their website’s last entry was Manjimup on 03 June – http://www.hondamx.com.au

3) RedBud was the first National this year that injured Monster Energy Kawasaki rider Ryan Villopoto attended and was still limping around. Photo: GuyB VitalMX

4) LaRocco's Leap at RedBud is the most infamous jump in motocross, and the 120-foot uphill triple had a shortened run up this year which proved to be hard for even some 450s to get over and nearly every 250 rider, if not all, opted to double rather than attempting the massive booter.

5) NZ Miniature TTs this weekend. Entries: http://www.mxt.co.nz/NZMinTT_2014_entries.pdf

Comeback? - Cam Dillon in MX2?

6) I hear Taupo MCC’s bid to host a 2016 round of the FIM Motocross World Championship has been declined - nevertheless they should congratulated on their foresight.
