Loaded Lites Class Features International Flair for 2011 Regional Championships

Former World Champions and Future Stars Join America’s Best

AURORA,
Ill. (December 30, 2010) – Traditionally, the AMA Supercross Lites
class of Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, is a
stage for the young stars of the sport to showcase their talent in
hopes of ultimately receiving a factory ride in the AMA Supercross
class. Many former champions of this division like Ryan Dungey, James
Stewart, Chad Reed, Ricky Carmichael, and Jeremy McGrath have all gone
on to capture coveted AMA Supercross class titles and for 2011, the AMA
Supercross Lites lineup is more talented than ever.

Despite
the graduation of AMA Supercross Lites class champions from the last
three years – Christophe Pourcel, Jake Weimer, and Trey Canard –
Monster Energy Supercross will welcome the return of several
highly-talented competitors in addition to introducing a potent lineup
of newcomers, four of which boasting impressive international
credentials. In fact, a pair of new names will go into the history
books as Western and Eastern Regional title holders once the season
comes to an end on May 7 in Las Vegas.

Leading
the way as title favorites for the upcoming season are Lites class
veterans Broc Tickle and Wil Hahn. Each rider is making the move to one
of the powerhouse programs in the division with Tickle joining the
legendary Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki team and Hahn becoming
the newest member of GEICO Honda. Additionally, fellow front-runners
and former race winners Blake Baggett, Justin Barcia, Josh Hansen and
Blake Wharton along with sophomore sensation Dean Wilson will be sure
to throw their names in the mix.

Adding
to the incredible depth of the Lites class is the debut of four
international stars. While South African Tyla Rattray has competed
stateside since the 2009 season, the former World Champion will race in
Monster Energy Supercross for the first time in 2011 for Monster
Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki. Joining him is fellow South African Gareth
Swanepoel, who becomes a full-time member of the DNA Shred Stix/Star
Racing Yamaha team, as well as a pair of highly-touted up and comers
racing out of the new Red Bull KTM stable in reigning two-time World
Champion Marvin Musquin, of France, and 16-year-old phenom Ken Roczen,
of Germany.

With
the implementation of an all-out AMA Supercross Lites class shootout at
the season finale in Las Vegas, both the Western and Eastern Regional
Championships will come down to the wire on the final night of
competition with nine races apiece throughout the winter and spring.
Moreover, the world’s best AMA Supercross Lites rider will be
determined in a head-to-head showdown between the top riders from each
class to close out the evening. The 2011 AMA Supercross Lites class
will be unlike ever before!

The
distinction of Monster Energy Supercross being the world's premier
off-road motorcycle racing championship couldn't be truer with such a
globally diverse field of young talent and worldwide success. When the
lights go out at Anaheim Stadium on January 8, it will commence the
most prolific season in the history of the sport.
