RM Motorsports /MX101/Yamaha Round #2 Kamloops Race Report

Jeremy Medaglia
Stittsville, ON (June 10 2013) –
Round #2 kicked off in beautiful Kamloops at their newly renovated facility.Coming into this round both riders had a week to sort out some of the aches and pains with some much needed rest. From the first practice it was clear to see that both Shawn and Jeremy were riding well and looking to put their Yamaha YZ450F’s into the top 10. Both riders qualified easily with Jeremy taking 5th and Shawn 13th.
However, problems occurred for both riders right out of the gate. Another rider collided with Jeremy and the front wheel of the #12 RM Motorsports /MX101/Yamaha YZ450F was destroyed. Jeremy nursed the wheel back to the mechanics area, but the damage was done as the team was laps down and decided to regroup for moto 2. Shawn got caught up with another rider as well and rounded the first lap back in 33rd place. Robinson put his head down and worked hard for the entire race and finished a well-deserved 13th.
Moto 2 saw Jeremy forced to start on the far outside of the start line due to his first moto DNF. Both riders survived the first turn and rounded the first lap in the top 20. Lap after lap JDags and SR continued to move through the field, and by the end Jeremy had just caught the 3 way battle for 5th, but needed more time to complete the passes and ended up in 7th for 13th overall. Shawn had his best finish this season with an 11th place securing his first ever top 10 overall in MX1!
“I am super happy that all the work I have done is starting to show with results”, said Shawn.
A disappointed Jeremy remarked, “Obviously I am not happy with the first moto. I had the worst gate pick for moto 2 and it made for a tough ride through the pack. Thankfully we got a decent result in the second moto and Shawn got great results as well.”
The team would like to send out well wishes to Colton Facciotti as his crash in moto 1 left a dark cloud over the day and we hope to see him back and healthy ASAP
