2009 Motocross of Nations
October 3-4, 2009
Rockstar Makita Suzuki Factory Racing’s Ryan Dungey and Team Manager Roger De Coster helped Team USA capture its record 20th Motocross of Nations overall victory in Franciacorta, Italy, this past weekend. Motocross legend De Coster once again acted as team manager for Team USA, providing guidance and race strategy for the three-man U.S. team that included 2009 AMA Supercross Lites Champion and 2009 AMA 250 Motocross Champion Dungey. Racing the multichampionship-winning Rockstar Makita Suzuki RM-Z450 in the MX1 class, Dungey finished third in his first race and went on to win his second race. This remarkable result is even more impressive considering that this event marked Dungey’s firstever motocross race on the Suzuki fuel-injected RM-Z450 as well as his debut in the prestigious Motocross of Nations. Thirty-seven teams from all over the globe competed in this year’s event, which has run uninterrupted since 1947. Team
Ryan Dungey:
“Ever since I started racing, it’s been my dream to race in the Motocross of Nations. So it’s pretty special to be here for this race for the first time. It was great racing the Rockstar Makita Suzuki RM-Z450 in the MX1 class. Although I’ve been racing the Suzuki RM-Z250, I’ve done a few Supercross races on the 450. It’s been a bike that I’ve felt confident on when I’ve ridden it in the past. It’s really suited me well and I’ve had some great time on it in preparation for this event. So to come over here and race and win like we did was really just a dream come true for me. It’s been great having my team manager Roger De Coster here and also working with the whole Team
Roger De Coster:
“The Motocross of Nations is the biggest event of the year in our sport, and I feel it has a lot of
importance. When I was a kid, I dreamed of being a part of this event… This year, I am so proud of Ryan and Team
Rockstar Makita Suzuki Factory Racing will race next at the U.S. Open of Supercross at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in
