Honda Red Riders claimed victories at round two of the 2011 AMA Pro Motocross Championship and WMA Women's Motocross Championship over the weekend at the Freestone National held in Wortham, TX. For the second week in a row, Honda newcomer Chad Reed took the overall round win on his Honda CRF450R, while American Honda Racing's Ashley Fiolek chalked up her first overall victory of the season on her Honda CRF250R.
Filling in for American Honda Racing riders Trey Canard and Josh Grant, who are both recovering from injuries they sustained during the Supercross season, veteran Honda racer Kevin Windham gave it his all in the grueling Texas heat. After suffering a mechanical issue in the opening moto that forced him out of the race, Windham secured ninth position in moto two and finished the weekend 17th overall. "Definitely not the result I was looking for in moto one," said Windham. "Unfortunately, I spent a lot of my energy early in moto one, and I hit a wall around the 15-minute mark in moto two—the Texas heat just got me. We've got an off weekend now so we'll use the extra time to get better and have a good showing in Mt. Morris in two weeks' time."
