Round 6 – AMA Toyota Motocross Championship Series New Berlin, NY Unadilla Valley Sports Center July 14 – 15, 2007 Team Makita Suzuki Racings Ivan Tedesco picked up his best AMA
Toyota Motocross finish of the season so far. The former AMA Motocross Lites
Champion rode his Makita Suzuki RM-Z450 to a fourth-place finish in the first
moto and a fifth-place finish in the second moto, earning him an impressive
fifth-place overall result. Tedesco spent much of the AMA Supercross and AMA Motocross
season sidelined due to injury and only returned to racing within the last three
rounds. Ivan Tedesco: “This weekend has been a lot better than it has been the last
couple of races. I started out pretty good on Saturday, and then on Sunday I
struggled a little bit in the first practice. By the second practice, though, I
felt pretty good. In the first moto, I rode really well and I was glad to get
up front and battle with the lead guys.
I still have some work to do -- I need to work on my first five laps or so. The
lead guys are really good at sprinting and my speed just isn’t quite there.
Other than that, I’m stoked to be in the top five and battling up there and not
back in the pack like I was last weekend. Overall, I’m happy with how I rode and I’m happy with the Makita
Suzuki RM-Z450. We made some changes from the last race at Red Bud and that
helped me with my comfort level on the bike. I just need to work on my speed
and I think I can get up there.” Team Makita Suzuki Racing will race next at Thunder Valley
Motocross Park in Lakewood, CO, the weekend of July 12 – 22, 2007. Ivan Tedesco, Team Makita Suzuki Racing RM-Z450, #9 4th Place – Moto 1, 5th Place – Moto 2 5th Place – Unadilla Overall 12th Place -- Overall
