Mackenzie Tricker extended her lead in the 2014 AMA Women’s Motocross Championship (WMX) with an impressive victory at this weekend’s FMF California Classic, round three of the WMX series at Glen Helen Raceway in San Bernardino, California.

Except for a first-moto tip-over – the result of a collision with Team Green Kawasaki’s Brandy Richards – Tricker had few problems en route to a double moto victory as the Australian motocross star topped the WMX podium with a perfect 1-1 score. Kawasaki rider Marissa Markelon finished second overall with a 2-2 total, while Japanese rider Sayaka Kaneshiro rounded out the podium in third after posting a 3-3 tally.

In moto one, Tricker grabbed the holeshot to start the race, the Yamaha USA-backed rider leading a talented field into the first lap on the heavily watered Glen Helen course. On lap two, Tricker made a mistake at the bottom of Glen Helen’s infamous hill known as Mt. St. Helens, allowing Richards to pass into the lead. A few turns later the two riders collided, sending them both to the ground. Tricker was able to remount quickly and get back underway, although now in second place behind Kaneshiro. Richards was much slower to rejoin the race and lost several positions in the process.

Tricker wasted no time moving in on the new leader, and passed Kaneshiro in a mud hole to retake the lead. From there, Tricker pulled away to take the first moto victory.

While Tricker and Kaneshiro were battling for the lead, Kawasaki rider Marissa Markelon worked her way up within striking distance of the lead group and passed Kaneshiro to claim second at the finish with Kaneshiro settling for third on her Troy Lee Designs Honda.
