TEUTSCHENTHAL (Germany), 08 May 2016 – Females love cloudless blue skies, and summer time vibes, even those that don’t get the chance to lie on a towel on a grass hill or a beach somewhere. The girls racing the third round of the FIM Women’s Motocross World Championship were far from the beach and from water this weekend, instead they were enjoying the glorious sun here in Teutschenthal, Germany where they went bar-to-bar for valuable championship points.

The WMX world championship has thrown some curve balls over the years. Team One One Four’s Livia Lancelot had bad luck last year with another rider crashing in front of her while she was leading the championship, while it has been the defending world champion MXFontaRacing Syneco’s Kiara Fontanesi who has been in the wars early this season.

Coming into the WMX round of Germany, Altherm JCR Yamaha’s Courtney Duncan had the red plate and took the lead early on in race one. The kiwi was looking in good shape to take her fourth race win of the season, but crashed and took a while to rejoin. She did brave her way to twelfth but was injured and didn’t line up today. Meanwhile, the 2008 WMX World Champion Livia Lancelot capitalized on Duncan’s misfortune and took her first race win of the season, but had her work cut out for her in the second race after a bad start and took a hard fought victory for a perfect 50 point score and her first WMX overall victory of the season.

Silver Action KTM Racing’s Amadine Verstappen took the holeshot today in race 2 with the four-time FIM Women’s Motocross World Champion Kiara Fontanesi hot on her heels. Fontanesi wasted no time in taking over the lead and went to work while the last round winner, Nancy Van de Ven moved into second and set her sights on Fontanesi. Meanwhile the race one winner, Team One One Four’s Livia Lancelot was asleep on the gate and got off to a shocking start. Nevertheless the French super star knuckled down and carved her way through the pack with ease. By lap two, Lancelot had gone from outside the top fifteen into sixth where she found herself battling with Larissa Papenmeier for fifth. Papenmeier has won a WMX round here in Teutschenthal before, so she knows the lines and runs a hot pace. After a couple of laps of cat and mouse Lancelot eventually got the job done and moved into fifth.

At the half way mark, Fontanesi, who had a comfortable lead, got caught by a gust of wind on one of the biggest jumps out here and landed on the side of the down ramp before rag dolling down the track. Amazingly, Fontanesi got up straight away but was a bit beat up pulled out.

With Fontanesi out of the challenge, Van de Ven inherited the lead but got dropped back to second by the local lady and former world champion Steffi Laier who was reveling in the rough and rutty conditions. Meanwhile Lancelot was on a mission and chomped down the gap that the leaders had pulled. Her lines were dialed and she managed to make light work of both Van de Ven and Laier to take the lead with three laps to go. 

Lancelot lit the candles for the second time this weekend ahead of Laier, Van de Ven, Papenmeier and Julie Dalgaard.

This weekend in Germany was the Livia Lancelot show as the French lady who owns and rides for her own team, Team One One Four Kawasaki, won both moto’s for her first overall victory and the red plate. German Steffi Laier did the locals proud with a 2 – 3 result for second overall while Yamaha’s Nancy Van de Ven uncorked her third bottle of bubbles this season in third.

VALKENSWAARD (The Netherlands), 28 March 2016 - Valkenswaard is a beast of a circuit for anyone, so for the worlds fastest female motocross riders, they had their work cut out for them this weekend as they battled the rough terrain here in The Netherlands for round two of the FIM Women’s Motocross World Championship where local lass Nancy Van De Ven did it for the Dutch with a 1 – 3 result that landed her on the top step of the podium.  

Race one winner Nancy Van de Ven got of to a cracking start and led the way through the ‘S’ bend first turn with the red plate holder Altherm JCR Yamaha’s Courtney Duncan hot on her heels. Van de Ven led 99.9% of the first lap but Duncan carried more speed through the finish line section and was logged as the as the first lap leader as she made the move on the home rider over the finish line jump.

With the lead in her hands, Duncan got her head down straight away and pulled a gap of 4 seconds on the following lap. Behind the two Yamaha protagonists, the defending WMX World Champion Kiara Fontanesi had her Honda singing as she went to work in effort to catch Van de Ven.

Just as the race ticked over the half way mark, Fontanesi dropped the hammer on Van de Ven and railed an inside rut that gave her better drive through the up hill wave section which was enough to take second. A lap later Team One One Four’s Livia Lancelot snuck in on the battle and almost pulled the same move on the Dutch lady but couldn’t quite make it stick.

Lancelot continued giving Van De Ven a world of grief while Fontanesi distanced herself just a smidge. Next minute, Fontanesi crashed with a lapped rider, which collected Van de Ven as well. Lancelot narrowly missed the carnage and inherited second while Fontanesi and Van De Ven had to remount and kick-start their bikes.

Meanwhile the “Kiwi Girl”, as her butt-patch reads, was in a league of her own once again and checked out for yet another massive race win, her third of the year. Twenty-five seconds later Lancelot crossed the line for second with Van de Ven salvaging third ahead of KTM Silver Action’s Amandine Verstappen and Natalie Kane.

It was an epic weekend for Nancy Van De Ven who topped the box here at her home round, two points clear of Altherm JCR Yamaha’s Courtney Duncan who bounced back from a massive spamming while leading race one yesterday, to win the final moto which was good enough for second overall. The former WMX World Champion, Team One One Four’s Livia Lancelot, made the most of an average day in the office to round off the podium in third.

Courtney Duncan holds onto the red plate with a seven-point lead over Livia Lancelot.
