SCOTT riders fill podium at MXoN

BUDDS CREEK, Maryland- Ryan Villopoto lead the way for Scott athletes at the Motocross of Nations this year. The two-time AMA Outdoor National Champion won both of the motos he competed in. Getting the holeshot in the first moto allowed Villopoto to open an early gap on the international field of riders, he then rode his own pace for the win. Villopoto was able to duplicate his moto one effort in moto two. Fellow American rider Tim Ferry was able to secure a second and fourth place finish in the motos he rode to help Team USA to the top spot on the podium.

Both riders where able to post top ten finishes, Pourcel did exceptionally well with a fourth and sixth place. Team New Zealand, a top contender to win the event, was derailed after their star rider Ben Townley crashed and injured himself.
