In the mean time Lawrence, or “JLaw” as he’s affectionately been dubbed on the Internet, will lead a number of Monster Army members - including Ricky Carmichael, Nate Adams, Blake “Bilko” Williams, Adam Jones, Mark Burkhart and Brandon Currie - into battle at this weekend’s inaugural ESPN Navy Moto-X World Championships at San Diego’s Qualcomm Stadium, April 12-13. Lawrence will contest the supercross-style racing portion of the Moto-X World Championships, an event that also includes other ESPN Summer X Games staples such as supermoto, FMX, Best Trick and Step Up. “San Diego will be a nice break from what I’ve been doing to keep sharp for the WSX finals in Seattle and Monster Energy Supercross season-ending shoot out in Vegas,” said Lawrence. “I’ve been riding and training my brains out, so it’ll be fun to get out there and race a bit - put what I’ve been doing off the bike to use. Should be cool with ESPN backing it and all.” According to a recent column on www.expn.com, Lawrence is unanimously picked by a number of industry experts – including his Yamaha of Troy teammate Ryan Morais and former SX standout David Pingree – as the favorite to win the premier “Racing” portion of the Moto-X Worlds. To check out what the experts are saying about Lawrence and his chances at gold, link to: http://expn.go.com/expn/blog/moto?post=3335302 Joining Lawrence as a favorite has to be both Monster Army members Burkhart and Adams. Burkhart, the reigning AMA Supermoto champion, will square off against a field that also includes defending AMA Supercross Lites class champion, his Monster Energy/Yamaha teammate Currie. Adams, the defending Dew Tour champion, is certainly one of the favorites to win, along with Monster Energy’s Jones – the defending X Games 13 Freestyle champion. Newly acquired Bilko Williams should also figure prominent in the FMX scoring. “The Monster Army will arrived in San Diego heavily armed and ready for a classic ‘take no prisoners’ battle,” said John Lee, Director of Sports Marketing for Monster Energy. “Our generals should return from the Moto-X World Championship decorated with a variety of precious metals.” Last, but certainly not least, Monster Energy-backed MX icon Carmichael will be on hand to contest the Step Up competition. RC, the defending X Games 13 Racing gold medalist, will be joined at the Moto-X World Championships by another legendary Monster Energy-backed racer, Jeremy “Showtime” McGrath. McGrath, who was banged up recently, will lend his expertise to the sport in the announcer’s booth.

With his second win in a row Villopoto pulled to within 17 points of Lites class points leader Trey Canard, 111-94. Villopoto got things going in a big way early in his heat race, winning by nearly 20 seconds over 2nd place Nico Izzi. In the main event he pulled a great start, then chased down, caught and passed Josh Grant to take the lead on lap three. Villopoto would never relinquish that lead, cruising to victory in the 15-lap contest. “The track had come around a lot after earlier in the day,” said Villopoto. “I was able to get a gap and ride my own race out there.” With two more Eastern Regional Lites Championship rounds to go (Detroit & St. Louis), Villopoto understands he’s got his work cut out for him in terms of winning the overall title. “I’ve got to try to win and get that points gap smaller,” he said. “And that’s what I’m hoping for in Detroit.” Also running well for the Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki team was Branden Jesseman. The Pennsylvania native finished 2nd in the first heat race, then locked down 8th place overall in the main event. Jesseman put up the 4th-fastest lap time (54.954 to RV’s best time of 53.048) in the main and moved into 10th place in the overall Lites class standings with 52 points. Next up for the Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki team is the Saturday (April 12th) running of the Detroit Supercross at Ford Field, Round 14 of 2008 Monster Energy Supercross.

With the effort Hill moved into 5th place in the overall Supercross class standings, moving ahead of fellow Monster Energy-backed racer Tim Ferry, 173-167. The ’08 Dallas Supercross will mostly be remembered for the podium battle waged on the track between Hill and Davi Millsaps. The two went at it late in the race like they were in cars, with even Millsaps leaving a tire mark across Hill’s jersey. “We hit each other so hard in the rhythm section I thought we were both going to go down,” said Hill. “This track was hard to pass on and I used that to my advantage because I definitely wasn’t on.” Though his riding wasn’t spot on, his starts sure were. Hill got the lead early on his YZ450F in his heat race and beat Ferry by nearly two seconds. In the main he pulled a great start as well, coming around in 3rd place after the first lap – which helped him with some momentum that he’d be able to tap on the entire race. “More than anything I had to get good starts,” said Hill. “I was making so many dumb mistakes. I felt like a goon.” Next up for Monster Energy’s Hill is the Detroit Supercross at Ford Field this Saturday, April 12th. Monster Energy supports the sport.

FIM Motocross World Championships: At the 2008 season opener at Valkenswaard, Netherlands, Monster Energy was pumped to have four of its racers place in the top ten in the premier MX1 class. Monster Energy was led by Billy Mackenzie (Monster Energy/CAS Honda) who just missed the overall MX1 class podium, placing 4th overall (10-2, 33 points). Also placing in the MX1 class top ten at Valkenswaard were Monster Energy/Yamaha’s David Philippaerts in 5th overall (4-6, 33 points), Josh Coppins in 6th place (6-7, 29 points). Team GPKR’s Kevin Strijbos would finish in 9th place overall (21 points). QUOTES Coppins: “All in all this has been a pretty good weekend under the circumstances. Qualifying went well with 8th place. My starts were good in both motos however I went a bit wide in the first one and slid out in the second but was up there. This weekend was just damage control really and I rode the best I could within the pain, trying not to damage the foot at all. I haven’t been able to do the work to be best prepared for this race. I am quite happy with the result which is a relief after what I have gone through in the last two weeks. I’m sitting in 6th overall now whereas two weeks ago I was looking at the bones sticking out of my toes so I’m happy with the position I am in. I have the stitches removed from my toes tomorrow and then I plan to get some more time on the bike later in the week. We’ll head to France for some guaranteed better weather and hopefully with that time in the saddle I’ll be able to build back some strength for Spain and aim to be strong in Portugal.” Philippaerts: "I have to say that I am happy. For my first GP I had good speed and also a nice feeling on the bike. The first moto was not great because I made some small mistakes and was quite nervous but I was glad to see that I could go at the front. In one corner I almost crashed and was completely off the side of the bike; that caused me to lose a lot of time. I pushed hard again but had a problem with my goggles and that was a hassle with the sand. It was because of this I hit with Josh. I wanted to go on the outside but I ran out of room. It was not something I meant to do and just one of those racing incidents. I wanted third position but Pyrhonen blocked me and I lost speed, so Ramon passed me starting the last lap. I was frustrated by this but after I calmed down I was actually content because my goal had been top five and I had taken fourth. In the second heat I started well but lost a lot of positions by getting blocked in the second corner. I came up behind Josh and it took a lot of energy to pass him. I was being extra careful because I did not want to touch again. When I got through I was physically finished. I am happy with the points I took this weekend. I am not far from second place and the championship has started quite well for me." Strijbos: “The conditions were very different to last weekend and on this wet sand I didn’t feel comfortable on the bike. We worked on the suspension last week but my main problem here came from the engine. We are late in our testing program but we now have two weeks to prepare the following round of the championship.” MXGP Results MX1 Moto1: 1. Ken De Dycker (Suz); 2. Max Nagl (KTM); 3.

AMA Hare & Hound Series Roundtitle> <description>Abbott takes over top spot in series’ point lead from David Pearson at Superstition OHVA CORONA, Calif., (April 2, 2008) – Monster Energy/Kawasaki’s Destry Abbott landed on top of the AMA’s Hare & Hound Series’ podium for the first time this year, this past weekend winning the Superstition OHVA (Round Three) in El Centro, Calif. With the win Abbott now has a 20-point lead over David Pearson (2nd) in the Hare & Hound point chase after three of eight rounds. Here’s Abbott’s account of the event: Race Day: “The morning of the race, I got out there pretty early to make sure I had a good spot on the start. The wind was really bad (40+ mph at times) so I figured if I didn’t get the best start I would still be ok. When the banner fell I was off, and David Pearson and I were going for the same spot. He got there just in front of me, and I had to back off because the roost was killing me. Then I saw Josh coming over, and he got in between both of us. I followed them, and had a good little battle with Quinn Cody, before I was able to finally get in front of him. I followed Pearson’s and Josh’s dust for the first 5-miles, and then I had a little get off. The wind was really bad, and when I hit this drop off it carried my front end to the side and put me to the ground. It really wasn’t that bad of a crash so I was up pretty quick. I was still in third, but the leaders had put some time on me. The one good thing was the fact that I had some clean air, and I could see both Josh’s and Pearson’s dust in front of me. Then around the 10-mile mark, I lost their dust and was really confused. I started to think I had lost the course, but I was still following ribbon. I ended up slowing down, and almost coming to a stop, to see if anyone was behind me. Then I saw Kamo coming up on me, so I started to pin it again. When I got to the first check I asked them what place I was in. They looked confused, and told me I was leading. I said the first two guys must be lost then. So now I was in the lead, and took it to the first alternate pit (10-miles further). When I got there they said I was in second, and over 5-minutes down to David. I said he didn’t go through the last check, and I knew something must’ve happened. I took off again, and saw Kamo and Josh weren’t too far behind me. At this point I figured they were going to DQ or penalize Pearson, so I really didn’t think much about him in front of me. Now I just worried about riding smart, and not going down again. Not to much further Josh caught up to me, and he was riding really well. I waved him by so I could key off him, but he gave me the no nod and wanted me to lead. So for the next 20-miles, until we got to the main pit, we pretty much rode beside each other. It was a little weird since I know we were both riding around 85%. It was more of a fast trail ride, but I know we were both having fun with it. We pitted at the same time, and rode down pit row together. I told him to lead again, but he wasn’t up for it. Now we started to get into the dunes, and I lost the course a few times and Josh would take the lead. We did this for a while, and it was actually the best time I had during the race! There would be times he would lose the course, and I would wait to make sure he saw me and then we would continue on. He did the same thing for me, and it was really nice having a great teammate to work with while we were racing. Halfway into the second loop we started to get into some rocky stuff, and I was able to put a little gap on Josh. I knew I needed to start to turn it up if I wanted to try and win. Every time I would look back, he was still around 20 seconds behind me. When I saw the checkered flag in front of me, it felt really good to get across it safe and for the win (not sure at the time though). I know both Josh and I cut three minutes off of David’s time on the second loop, but it really didn’t matter in the long run. I know it would’ve been a good race if David didn’t miss the first check, but I still felt I had a good shot at the win!” Overall Summary: “It was great to get the win, especially since I came here just hoping to get some good points. I know I wasn’t up to my normal speed, since this was the first time I rode in a couple weeks (it felt longer). I had a great time racing with Josh, and all I can say is that kid is going to be really good! Now it’s time to get ready to go up to Utah, this weekend, and try to pull off another win!” Next up for Destry Abbott and the Monster Energy/Kawasaki off road team is this weekend’s Round Three of the 2008 WORCS in Jericho, Utah.
