Ben Townley on Glen Helen Happenings -ozzy go- amamotocross.com

The Motocross Lites race at Glen Helen was yet another classic
example of winning the battle, but losing the war, as Monster
Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Ben Townley took the overall win
for the day over teammate Ryan Villopoto – yet it was Villopoto
who took home the championship and another number 1 plate.

Success for BT
“Winning the overall today was good, but I think that the whole
year was a bit of a pronunciation on last year. I won the
supercross championship (East Coast Lites) and raced Ryan all
year for this championship. That’s what I said at Hangtown; that I
wanted to fight for this championship – and apart from a few
mistakes on my part it’s been a huge improvement on last year”
said overall winner Ben Townley.

International Pride
Commenting on the many New Zealand flags in the crowd, Ben
Townley would say “before the weekend I counted on my fingers
and toes probably twenty people coming, and it’s actually at least
double that - to win in front of them was amazing.”
