Rockstar Makita Suzuki Factory Racing’s David Vuillemin
celebrated his best result of the 2008 AMA Supercross season
with a seventh-place finish at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego on
Saturday night. The Frenchman got a good start on his Rockstar
Makita Suzuki RM-Z450 and charged hard through the 20-lap
main to bring home a top-10 finish. Vuillemin’s Supercross-class
teammate Mike Alessi, unfortunately, experienced a nasty crash
and broke his collarbone on the right side during practice and
was unable to race.

In the Supercross Lites class, Rockstar Makita Suzuki’s Ryan Dungey
is preparing for the last few rounds of the West Coast
events. On Saturday night, the young rider was again blisteringly

up from the back of the pack on his Rockstar Makita Suzuki RM-
Z250. In spite of this, Dungey still finished in sixth position.

Ryan Dungey: “This is the third week in a row where things

on riding smart in these last..." full story on teamsuzuki.com
