Courtney Duncan WMX at Hangtown Qualifies 1st on a YZ 125

[TotalNZ]

Hey total. Doesn't your mate Jeremy ? look after her in the states.?
Keep us informed on the future plans.

Yeah, he's over there with her helping her out. Backflips clothing and GMD are big supporters of hers.
I'm so stoked to see her realizing her potential. I remember watching her on a 65 racing against older boys on 85's and them having to hold her back till the rest of the field had done a complete lap, then she'd still go out and win. And they were only 3 lap races.

Is she getting support from Yamaha.?

[citabjockey]

would that be contingent on her riding a four stroke?

Did Cedric ever get any support from KTM??? Nope, he put their 250SX bike up on the podium in Paris, and won some rounds of Euro Supercross, but because he was on the 2 Stoke model, they told Sarholtz KTM, the shop he was riding for, that they would not offer any support.

Bit different here as we have a national 125 class.
Remember they let DK win 2 NZ champs on a YZ250 and he was the team manager.
Most of the young guns here have Yamaha support. They have a good youth program.
Not sure if Courtney is one of them but would be suprised if she wasn't.

Edit. I mean Yamaha NZ not Japan or US.

I think she has had some support from josh coppins and his new team jcr racing don't know the full level of support though

awesome a 2-stroke bike smoking 4-stroke competition....i love it
congratulations girl.....

Now i wish the brands look different for 2-strokes and see that bikes are still competitive against 4-strokes...

Yes she may be "too fast" for the womens class but she is also 30 SECONDS A LAP too slow to make the guys class! So she is much better off smokin the 4-jokes in the womens class

I don't know where you're looking at those numbers.... - BUT On the Lucas Oil Motocross website:

I see a Moto 2 Fast Lap time of [2:10] from Blake Warton (Male/Pro - 250 cc ("Foo-Fifty" I hear people in the pits starting to call those 4 stroke 250's now...)

I see a Moto 2 Fast Lap time of [2:19] from Courtney Dunkin

That's a difference of 9 seconds - Blake Warton is a PROMINENT male pro - Blake Warton was on a 250 Fooper - Courtney was on a 125 Stroker - Also, Courtney kinda' looked like she was just cruising.....

[Uniflow]

Wow, good on her. Never under estimate a well ridden 125. ( Yamaha ).

[VintageBlueSmoke]

The way I look at it - The 36th qualifier in the 250F class was a 2:08. Mrs. Duncan, on her 125 was a 2:13. At the other ind, Eli Tomac was a 1:57. In a field covered by 11 seconds, that additional 5 seconds is a big deal. Conversly, Barcia was barley a 1:57 but the field was a little tighter with 36th at a 2:04. To run with the boys, maybe she should be on a 250?

I've been watching Courtney for a while! She is amazing! An inspiration to all the ladies out there!

[Lolerbabop]

TSM should offer her a spot on the team........... Just sayin............
