Medagelia Takes West Lites Title


Tyler Medagelia estabilished himself early in the AX Lites West Championship and after a near night ending crash in Saturday In Reno got up and made the most of the race and hung on to win the AMA National AX Lites West Championship. Only four points seperated him from Tiger Lacey at the end of night with Lacey finishing 2nd to Medagelia's 10th. Although upset with himself for the mistake which nearly cost him his title Tyler was more than excited to be holding on to the number one plate. "A big thanks has to go out to everyone who worked hard to get me here Tyler said, Josh Woods and GPF have really put together a great program for up and coming riders and I am glad that I was able to deliver to them their second number one plate. Thanks Todd at TLR Performance, Factory Connection Suspension, Decal Works, Yoshimura Devol Engineering, Dunlop, SDG, Vortex, K&N, DP Brakes, Motorex, Boyesen, and especially Eddie Babbitt at Babbitt's Online. I will be finishing out the AX season and really working on that AX class, But first with the help of GPF and Babbitt's I will be racing the Daytona SX next weekend and after the AX season they are going to help me get to the Toronto SX. Thanks again
