WMX Class:

The Motorcycle-Superstore.com Women's Motocross Championship will be headlined by the two most dominant riders of the past three seasons - American Honda's Ashley Fiolek and reigning champion Jessica Patterson, who rides for DNA Shred Stix/Star Racing Yamaha. The two riders have developed a formidable rivalry over the past few years and it is expected to continue.

"I trained really hard during the off season and I'm confident 2011 is going to be a good year for me," said Fiolek. "My goal is to win this weekend and I won't be happy with anything less. I believe I've put in the work I need to win back the WMX title, so that's my mission for this season."

Also looking to get into the mix is veteran rider Tarah Gieger, who rides for Troy Lee Designs/Lucas Oil Honda, as well as up-and-comers Vicki Golden, riding for Moto-USA.com/Langston Motorsports Kawasaki, and MotoConcepts Yamaha's Mariana Balbi.

Television coverage for Saturday's Rockstar Energy Hangtown National begins with the debut of live coverage of the opening motos for both the 450 and 250 classes on FUEL TV, beginning at 4 p.m. EST. Final moto coverage of the 450 Class will air at 11 a.m. EST on SPEED on Sunday, May 22, immediately followed by Moto 2 of the 250 Class at 12 noon EST.
