DE DYCKER TAKES BELGIAN MX VICTORY
Teka Suzuki World MX1's Ken De Dycker prepared for the upcoming intensive stretch of races in the 2009 FIM MX1 World Championship by taking his second overall victory in the Belgian Championship-United Telecom Trophy at Kester at the weekend.
The 24 year old enjoyed good starts in changeable weather conditions to finish second in the first moto and then win the following two races for his success. De Dycker apparently became the first Belgian to claim this prestigious round of the series since Stefan Everts in 2006.
Coming through the three sprints with no discomfort in the wake of recent injuries, De Dycker was also able to count on a decent full week of training before the Kester meeting. He was unlucky to lose a podium result at the Grand Prix of France the weekend prior after a broken foot-peg forced him out of the second moto while holding second.
"It was good to win because the conditions were pretty hard and I had to throw away my goggles in the first moto," he said. "Overall things went really well. My starts were excellent and of course that helps so much. From there it was pretty easy. I had a good week of training and aside from feeling a bit tired because of this the races went smoothly."
De Dycker, who has won titles in the UK and Germany, leads the Belgian standings by 13 points.
Teka Suzuki World MX1 travels to the Talkessel circuit in Teutschental for the Motocross Grand Prix of Germany; followed immediately by trips to Latvia and Sweden.

MOSS SCORES MAXIMUM AT MURRAY BRIDGE
Team Shift Motul Suzuki Pro Lite star Matt Moss displayed his championship credentials with another powerful performance in the Australian National Motocross Championship at Murray Bridge.
Moss has been in scintillating form all season and his clean sweep at Murray Bridge means the Suzuki star has won seven of the past eight Pro Lite motos.
After stamping his mark in another dominant qualifying session, Moss was jumped at the start by American import Chris Gosselar. However, in another display of his growing maturity, Moss waited for his opportunity and, by the end of lap four, was in the lead and working on extending it. He controlled the race from that point on, shattering best lap times along the way before finishing nearly 18 seconds clear of Luke George.
In the second moto, Moss was again pushed out of the lead in the opening lap, this time by Mitch Hoad. By the end of lap one Moss had restored his championship credentials and ended up winning by more than 10 seconds.
Moss finished the round with the maximum 50 points and, with the championship entering the home straight, extended his hold on the red plate to 20 points.
Team Shift Motul Suzuki Development squad member Lawson Bopping continued to mine the rich vein of form he has found this year with another strong points haul. Bopping finished the Murray Bridge round with 31 points on the back of a strong performance in the second moto, where he narrowly missed out on second place. Bopping's consistent form saw him consolidate fourth position in the Pro Lites championship, and still with enough races left to secure a coveted podium position.
In the Pro Open title race, Cameron Taylor demonstrated his consistent form once again with two more top-10 finishes to cement seventh position overall in the championship.
Matt Moss: "I didn't get the best of starts today but I rode my own race, kept a clear head and I knew I was going to be fast enough. I'm looking forward to next weekend; I've been over in Perth for the past three weeks, riding sand and getting on top of it."
