Bryce Vallee to race in Western Australia‏

Truth
MX rookie Bryce Vallee arrived in Western Australia to compete in
this weekend’s Manjimup 15000 Spectacular, billed as Australia’s
richest motocross race. The race location sits about 3 hours south of
Perth, on the west coast of Australia. Riders from the US, UK,
Scotland, New Zealand, and Australia will be competing in this year’s
event.

Bryce was invited to
participate by the promoter, Willie Thomson, who contacted Bryce
about 3 weeks ago. Bryce was recommended by his friend Tim Weigand,
who spent several years racing in Australia.

“This is a great
opportunity for me,” Bryce said, “ not only to race but to visit
Australia, meet new people, and make new friends. I want to thank
Tim, the promoters, and my team and sponsors for their support.”
The only snag so far is that the TSA wouldn’t let Bryce check his
racing suspension through with his luggage as being a “prohibited
item”, so he’ll be on a stock bike. (Is this a new policy for the
TSA or just an isolated incident?)

Bryce will return to the
US next week to resume racing with the Truth MX/MB1/Fly Racing/Panic
Rev Kawasaki Team for select races in the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross
Championship in the 250 class.
