Jacksonville, FL - Muscle Milk/MDK/KTM Factory rider Wil Hahn
held strong to his promise that he would finish on the podium this year
when he finished 2nd overall at the Jacksonville Supercross after
leading over half of the race!

Hahn's podium night started well when he pulled the early lead in
his heat race and went on to win the race. Hahn got a great start, led
each lap and took his second heat race win of the season with a 10
second lead on Nico Izzi. "The last two weeks I have felt great. My KTM
has been performing flawless and I have finally found the speed I need.
I plan to get the holeshot in the main and land on the podium,"
commented Hahn after his heat win.

Hahn couldn't have predicted his own future better than he did in
his heat winning speech. Hahn nailed the holeshot in the main and went
on to lead an impressive nine laps over East Lites Champion Christophe
Pourcel. Once in 2nd Hahn kept charging and held off the rest of the
pack to finish a solid 2nd overall in his most extraordinary
performance this season. Hahn was all smiles on the podium, "This is
great! I couldn't ask for a better confidence booster heading to the
East/West Shootout. I can't thank my sponsors enough. My mechanic has
built me a great bike all season. My KTM is the best bike out there and
I should have been doing this the whole season. I am so pumped to be
heading to the outdoors because I know my Muscle Milk/MDK/KTM Team is
going to be 100% behind me again."

Switching over to the Supercross class, Ryan Sipes was busy
preparing for the start of his final Supercross heat this year as he
will return to the West Lites series in two weeks. Sipes nailed the
holeshot showing the whole crowd how powerful his orange bike is right
from the start. Sipes rode a smooth heat race and easily qualified into
the main event with a 6th place finish.

Unfortunately Sipes couldn't repeat his heat race start in the main
event and he rounded the first turn in 14th. He moved to 12th on lap
two and maintained that position until the fourth lap when he dropped
to 13th. He held 13th until lap fourteen when he crashed and remounted
in 14th position where he finished for the night.
