Seely Earns First Win

Cole Seely was able to
notch the first win of his Supercross career, winning the
Supercross Lites class at the LA Supercross event in Dodger
Stadium.
The win was also the first for his team, Troy Lee Designs/Lucas
Oil/Red Bull Honda, since they made the switch from Supermoto in
2008. Since making the switch, the team has earned quite a few high
finishes, but hasn't been able to capture gold until now.
Even more impressive, Seely was able to win the race wire-to-wire,
getting the hole shot and never surrendering it.
"I really couldn't have made it any easier on myself by getting the
holeshot, which is what I've been searching for the whole year," he
told Cycle News. "I just got a good start. I made some mistakes the
first five laps, but when I settled into a good pace and kept
reading 'breathe' on my pit board, it just felt like we were doing
laps at the test track again."
After a few laps, Seely was able to mount a large lead and none of
the other competitors ever really threatened him. The win put him
in third for the season, behind Broc Tickle in second and Josh
Hansen in first.
