RYAN BEAT ROCKS GENOA SX, J-LAW OUT
The last round of the FIM UEM Supercross series in Genoa, Italy was awesome. American, Ryan Beat nailed the SX1 qualifier 1 for the win, beating out Italy’s Dami Stefano and Beats' Yamaha Magic teammate and the 2008 AMA WSX champion Jason Lawrence. The Main Event was supposed to be the big showdown between Jason Lawrence and Martin Racing’s Ben Coisy. Lawrence went down during the first lap, in the second corner, crashing to end any hopes for a showdown. Ben Coisy, who was leading the championship series until the last round in Milan, joined Lawrence in the DNF circle on Lap 3 when his Honda died and wouldn’t restart. Marvin Musquin won the Main Event the French went on to dominate the moto with American, Ryan Beat rounding out the top 5. Fabien Izoird went on to become the new UEM Supercross SX1 Champion. Returning to the U.S., what will be in store for Ryan Beat. Certainly, he’s worthy of a ride on an SX Lites team. Beats consistency and history in SX , Arenacross and MX shows his determination and talent to be a West Coast Lites contender. Many of these American teams dump far too many dollars and resources into No-Show riders or those with a checkered past. Bet your bottom dollar we’ll see more of Josh Hansen on the Hart & Huntington team, and it’s sad. In my opinion he is a kid who inherited a pro card and doesn’t want it. His father, Donnie Hansen was a motocross legend, but does this mean his kid get’s a life long AMA/MX Industry meal ticket? Apparently. Carey Hart would have better success with a rider that doesn’t pull off the track at mid moto. Investing in a rider like Beat would be smart move. With a good bike and unlimited practice track time, his possibilities are endless. I have a Ryan Beat Photo from the SX, but we can't upload here on our blogs.

Man, I think that Ryan Beat is the cute interns brother. Thats awesome for him. If he does run the WSX I will keep my eye out for him. I think it's good you wrote this blog. Racers like this need every advocate they can get. Lets hope good things happen for him.

How many times have we read an interview from a rider that, somewhere in it, they talk about how much difference good equipment makes? I am pretty sure I just read one with the real 338, Zach Osbourne, and he was saying how much of a difference it maks. I can think of several prospects that had it all, and never panned out. Give the Intern's brother, sorry Ryan, a chance with good, consistent equipment. those who follow him know that he is on the cusp of being a mainstay in main events, and with testing, training, and a little bit of confidence, he's sure to be more than a back marker. Top 3 west coast, well maybe noy just yet,...but top 10, i feel, is not out of the question. it blows me away sometimes to see the names on the rosters of different teams, year in and year out, and we all know that most of these riders will make a few mains and score a few points outdoors. why not a guy that has run a few sx's and outdoors, and has scored points already, on stuff that was either stock, or using the year before's technology? I would rather have a guy riding that has scored points in races that has been to a few, than score a few points and have been to them all. oh yeah, he graduated from high school, has his own small business, and he can even put together complete sentances,..most of the time. look what Roger D did for hammy......
