Orange, Calif. - May 22, 2012 - Dubya USA would like to congratulate
Dubya athletes Ryan Dungey, Ken Roczen, Jessica Patterson, and Tarah
Gieger on their podium finishes at the opening round of the 2012 Lucas Oil
AMA Pro Motocross Natonals at Hangtown over the weekend.
“It’s a rush for us to see these talented athletes using our products to
take them to the top,” said Dubya founder Kristin White Anderson. “We’re
proud to support riders in the 250, 450 and WMX classes, and to see them
succeed.”
Red Bull KTM’s Ryan Dungey and Ken Roczen claimed second and third
in their respective classes using Dubya’s Kite/D.I.D wheelsets. With the
first round now in the books, both riders are in excellent positions as they
continue to pursue the 2012 championship.
Rockstar Energy Suzuki’s Jessica Patterson has become one of the most
successful WMX riders in history since claiming her first pro title in 2000.
The 28-year-old Florida native’s resume includes 19 amateur motocross
championships, 6 pro motocross titles, and a 2008 ESPY award nomination
for “Best Female Action Sport Athlete.” If Saturday’s victory is any indication,
Patterson’s Talon/Excel wheels from Dubya may carry her to another
championship in 2012.
Troy Lee Designs/Lucas Oil/Honda’s Tarah Gieger has 3 amateur
championship titles, an X games gold medal, and in 2007 became the first
female to participate in the FIM Motocross of Nations. As one of the top
WMX athletes in the world, Gieger and her Talon/D.I.D wheels will be one of
Patterson’s primary competitors for the 2012 WMX championship.
