Montreal Supercross
Team Suzuki Rockstar Energy OTSFF’s Tyler Medaglia rose head and
shoulders above the competition in the MX2 final at the Montreal
Supercross on Saturday to take his second consecutive win of the event
in front of some 45,000 rabid race fans.
The Kemptville, ON native, who recorded the fastest practice time on
the demanding Olympic Stadium track, took command of the race on the
first lap and never looked back. Medaglia was never threatened for
position and by the time the ten laps were over he had placed his
RM-Z250 a solid 21 seconds ahead of second place finisher Simon Homans.

CMRC National #9 - Walton
The CMRC National series ended this weekend in Walton, ON marking the completion of the season for the Motokuhl-sponsored Factory Suzuki Rockstar Energy OTSFF race team. Tyler Medaglia finished off the end of the season with a 3-0 finish securing him a 3rd overall in the MX1 class. Mitch Cooke continued his strong rides with a 13-8 (8th overall) and 9th overall in the series. Brady Sheren was still on the sidelines with a broken hand but his points earned through the season netted him 17th overall in the class.
Jeremy Medaglia captured his first MX2 overall win with 3-1 finishes. Some bad luck in the last couple races dropped him down in the MX2 overall but a 5th overall in his rookie season is something to be proud of.
One last shout out to Jocelyn Killough who finished 4th overall in the Women's series --- not to shabby for a "replacement" rider for the injured Missy Hackett.
Special thanks to the OTSFF team, Andre Laurin and Brad Ewen for allowing Motokuhl to be part of a very successful season. Next up: the Montreal Supercross.

CMRC National #8 - Sand Del Lee
The penultimate round of the CMRC Nationals at Sand Del Lee in Richmond, Ontario proved to be a touch and go affair for Tyler and Jeremy Medaglia who, ironically, were racing on their home track. Both brothers suffered a DNF which proved to be a costly setback in the MX1 title hunt for Tyler and MX2 for Jeremy. Their teammate, Mitch Cooke, escaped the black cloud that hung over them by carding seventh overall on the strength of 6-8 motos in MX1.
In the final round of the Suzuki Women’s Championship, Jocelyn Killough finished sixth overall on the strength of 8-4, which saw the Aylmer, ON native claim fourth overall in the title hunt. Killough, who substituted for an injured Missy Hackett on Team Suzuki Rockstar Energy OTSFF, accumulated 173 points, six points shy of Blackfoot Racing Suzuki’s Jolene Van Vugt, who carded a third place ranking in the series.
There series wraps up this weekend at Walton.

RMDRA Hare Scramble
Congratulations to the Rocky Mountain Dirt Riders (RMDRA) for putting on such a great CMRC Hare Scramble last weekend in Mclean Creek. The event was Motokuhl-sponsored and the turnout was fantastic.

CMRC National #5 - The Wastelands
Motokuhl-supported Factory Suzuki Rockstar Energy OTSFF rider Tyler Medaglia continues to hold on to a slim lead in the MX1 class after Round #5 of the CMRC Nationals in Nanaimo, BC. This past weekend was a bit rough for the entire team with Tyler going 8th overall (10-5), Brady Sheren 12th overall (13-10) and Mitch Cooke 13th overall (14-13) at what is the last national at The Wastelands.
MX2 rider Jeremy Medaglia also became the victim of unfortunate mechanical problems scratching back for an 18th overall (0-13). Jeremy remains tied for 5th place in the MX2 overall with riders ahead well within reach.
The women's class was not contested in Nanaimo but will be in full effect this coming weekend at Castrol Raceway outside of Edmonton. This race may mark the return of Missy Hackett after her broken collarbone suffered in practice before Gopher Dunes. "Interim" rider Jocelyn Killough has been stellar in Missy's absence making for the best 1-2 punch in women's MX racing.

CMRC Nationals #4 - Moto Valley, SK
A perfectly manicured track outside of Regina was the venue this week for Round #4 of the CMRC Nationals. Tyler Medaglia continued on his quest for a #1 plate with 2-5 finishes (2nd overall) in the MX1 class. His lead in the series is down to 17 points as Colton Facciotti sweeps both motos for the third time this season. Tyler's teammates Mitch Cooke (10-10, 10th overall) and Brady Sheren (17-15, 15th overall) round out Motokuhl's MX1 contingent.
The younger Medaglia, Jeremy, had his struggles in the MX2 class with 12-5 (9th overall) but still stands tied for 3rd in the MX2 series. MX2 series leader Eric Nye is starting to run away from the rest of the field but we know Jeremy has something for him at the remaining rounds.
The Women's class returned to competition this weekend and fill-in rider Jocelyn Killough is proving that she is worthy on her factory ride with a 3-4 (3rd overall) finish.
The series takes a two week break before starting up again in Nanaimo for round #5.
