It all gets under way May 22nd near Sacramento, California at ‘Hangtown’. Then on September 11, the series will conclude with Round 12 at the new Pala Raceway.
Officially, it’s known as the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship … but we still are like you: The Nationals!
OK, what do you want to know? Let’s start with some of the top name riders you’ll be seeing at the race tracks across the USA
- Ryan Dungey (5) – Team Suzuki – not only did he win the 250 Outdoor MX title last year, he just won the 450 Supercross Championship this year. And he’ll be racing in the 450 Motocross class this year.
- Chad Reed – Chad is on Monster Kawasaki. He IS the defending 450 Motocross Champion. Look for the big number 1 plate on his bike!
- Mike Alessi (800) – Mike rides the new KTM 350. A bit of of unknown, since he hasn’t been racing with the top guys yet this season. But you’ll know he’ll be fast on his KTM.
- Grant Langston (8) – Grant is a former champion in: The MX GP’s, Lites Supercross, and a National MX Champ when the class was called ’125′. He is now going to be teamed with Chad Reed at Monster Kawasaki! 450 Motocross!

- Tyla Rattray (28) – another rider that has not been in supercross recently because of injury – but Tyla is a former World Motocross Champion, and he’s ready to go on his Pro Circuit Kawasaki.
- Jake Weimer (12) – this is Jake Weimer’s last year in the 250 class. Since he just won the 250 West Supercross Championship, he’s got to be considered one of the top contenders in the 250 class.
- Christophe Pourcel (377) – Christophe is also in his last year in the 250 class. Last year he finished runner-up to Ryan Dungey in the 250 MX Championship. Christophe will be on the Pro Circuit Kawasaki, and also has to be considered one of the front runners, if not the front runner, for the 250 championship.
