Just found this write up while scanning for the results of today's race, since the network/industry coverage kind of sucked....

Courtney Duncan, riding out of New Zealand, made a big impact in the 2013 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Women?s Triple Crown season opener, winning both Moto 1 and Moto 2, each by a commanding margin. Adding to Duncan?s remarkable performance is the fact that she pilots a Yamaha YZ125 two-stoke. In Moto 1, Team Honda?s Sayaka Kaneshiro finished second, followed by MTF?s Mackenzie Tricker in third.

 Duncan got the lead early in Moto 1, followed by Kaneshiro in second and Tricker in third. KTM rider Alexah Pearson settled into fourth and was followed by Yamaha?s Jessica Patterson in fifth. Patterson started to move up the pack during the contest, making it up to third mid-race, but before the end she unexpected pulled off track with an issue, leaving her to finish 30th.
 Duncan continued her charge, building a gap of over 20 seconds on Kaneshiro.

 In Moto 2, Patterson returned determined to redeem herself after the disappointing result in Moto 1. She quickly moved to the head of the pack, but Duncan was close behind in second and within six minutes had passed Patterson for the lead. Once out front, Duncan again displayed her superiority over the field, creating a gap that grew to over 14 seconds by the checkers.

 Patterson held on to finish second, followed by Kaneshiro in third and Honda rider T-bug Higgins in fourth. KTM rider Jacqueline Strong rounded out the top-five in Moto 2.

 Duncan leaves Hangtown with the lead in overall points, eight ahead of Kaneshiro. Higgins sits third overall followed by Tricker in fourth and Strong in fifth.

Thems was some flounderin' Foopers... The announce-a-tards didn't really know how to approach the situation. She was putting such a whooping on the poopers out there, but they knew they couldn't say anything like, "Courtney's really laying down the pace on that one two five... No one's even close!"

They kept referring to her bike only as "The Yamaha".

Funny how we used to have to hear about it 6 times every minute if the lone Fooper in the field made a pass for 10nth or something stupid... It used to be like "WHOA! would'ja look at the 4 STROKE ROOST as Yarg Smerts rockets into the top 15!!! OH MY GOD David, I can't believe the POWER of that BIG 4 STROKE as  HE GRABBED A HANDFULL.....     and...... wait, he.. he just lost the spot to Barry Carsten on the borrowed RM250... "

Definitely balanced reporting and promotion from the announce-a-tards.

Really, there doesn't seem to be a need for both.
