Team Rockstar Suzuki OTSFF Press Release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(Vaughan, ON – August 10, 2009)

Podium for Medaglia at Sand Del Lee – Killough

runner-up in Women’s Nationals
It was a stellar day for Team Rockstar Suzuki OTSFF’s Tyler Medaglia at Round
7 of the CMRC Nationals which were held at Sand Del Lee in Richmond, ON.
Medaglia, who lives in nearby Kemptville, snared a noteworthy second overall
in the feature MX1 class on the strength of 3-2 motos.

In the Women’s Nationals, whose five-

round series concluded at Sand Del
Lee, Jocelyn Killough was able to
secure runner-up in the championship.
She recorded 3-4 motos to take fourth
overall on the day, with which she
scored enough points to cement the
No.2 National ranking.

“It was a great season for me. I had a

great team behind me and a fantastic
bike that helped me get the job done,”
said Killough. “I had hoped to make
the podium today but my main goal
was to end up with enough points to
finish the series in second place so I
didn’t take any chances to jeopardize that.”

In MX1 action, Medaglia got off on the right track logging the fastest time
during practice on his RM-Z450 EFI. A top-five start in first moto saw Medaglia
quickly move into second place behind Colton Facciotti. The duo laid down a
fast tempo and started pulling away from the chase group which included
Dusty Klatt and Mason Phillips. Around the halfway mark Medaglia went down
and although he managed to remount in no time at all, Klatt was able to
inherit second place. For the rest of the moto Medaglia defended third place
right to the finish line.

Another top start in the second moto saw Medaglia again work his way into
second place early in the race. Once again he found himself dogging Facciotti
while Klatt and Bobby Kiniry battled for third behind him. Towards the end of
the moto Kiniry, who had settled into third, made some attempts to displace
Medaglia from second but his efforts proved in vain.

“Today was a step in the right direction for me. I’ve been working really hard
during the past three weeks or so now that my wrist is pretty well healed,”
said Medaglia. “My confidence is back and I felt good all day. And I knew I had
the speed. My bike ran awesome the whole weekend.”

Kyle Keast, meanwhile, recorded eight overall on the strength of 9-8 motos.
Keast, who missed several rounds due to a scaphoid injury, crashed on the
first lap which put him towards a back-of-the-pack remount. Undaunted, he
soldiered on picking off rider after rider to claim ninth place at the checkered.

Keast quickly parlayed a top-10 start in the second moto into sixth place, but
problems with his wrist started handicapping him around the halfway point.
He soldiered on, however, and managed to give up only two positions in the
remainder of the moto.

“All in all I was happy with the way I rode today considering I was off my bike
for a few weeks and my wrist really bothering me in the second moto,” said
Keast. “Finishing top 10 was all I could hope for and I at least managed to do
that.”

In the first MX2 moto, Balázs Déczi got off to a mid-pack start which he
turned around into a 10th place finish. In the second moto he was hampered
by a bent rear disc early in the moto which left him with no breaking power
on the rear wheel. He managed to ride out the moto, however, taking 16th at
the checkered taking 12th overall on the day.
