After competing in the 2002 125cc World Championship Series, in 2003 Mannum, South Australia’s Brett Metcalfe jetted over to the United States of America to compete for the Red Bull KTM team. And he’s been here ever since. Having also raced for the Boost Mobile Yamaha and Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki teams during the past six years, Metcalfe has been a consistent podium-placing rider, but at the same time, ill-timed injuries and bad luck have seemingly derailed him just as if it seemed he was about to make a run at an AMA Number One Plate. In 2008, Metcalfe, for the most part, was able to remain injury-free and was rewarded with third place in the brilliantly competitive AMA 250F National Championship. His best year in America, Metcalfe looked set to begin preparing for 2009 when a major rumor started to leak out of the Inland Empire: Metcalfe would switch from the all-mighty, all-conquering Monster/Pro Circuit outfit to the heavily armed, championship-winning GEICO Powersports Honda team. As the rumors seemed to become more and more prevalent, concurrently, sightings of the Australian pounding out laps on numerous Southern California racetracks became more frequent. A poorly kept secret, today, Racer X was able to sit down with Metcalfe and get to the bottom of it all. The following is what he had to say.

Brett, you sound a hell of lot better than when I spoke with you on Saturday…
(Laughter) Yeah, I’m getting a little bit better. I’m starting to liven up.

9,545 miles. That¹s the amount of distance Daniel Reardon has traveled to
race in the past week. Last Saturday in Perth, Australia ‹ one of the most
isolated metropolitan areas on Earth (the closest city to it with over 1
million people being Adelaide, South Australia a mere 1,307 miles away)
Reardon placed second to countryman Chad Reed in the opening round of
premier Australian-based Super X series.

Six days later and in less than 24 hours, Reardon will be in Las Vegas, Nevada to compete in the 2008 U.S. Open. A hell of a slog, but one the friendly 22 year-old Australian ex-pat has no problem with. Now based in California and a consistent top 10 finisher in both the 2008 AMA West Region Supercross and AMA Motocross Lites National Championship tours, the GEICO Powersports Honda No Fear-backed Reardon is a racer at heart, and has no designs on taking any sort of major break now that the off-season has begun. In fact, shortly after the U.S. Open, Reardon will get back on another 747 and fly right back to his homeland to line up for the second round of the Super X series next Saturday
in The City of Churches: Adelaide, Australia.

Okay motocross fans… We’ve been struggling with the recent “numbers hung” (that’s professional gambling talk for odds) for this weekend’s Rockstar U.S. Open of Supercross over in the town we’ve all come to know and love: Las Vegas. To help get our heads wrapped around these mathematics (I’m a great example as it took everything I had to get through my business statistics class in college), we rang up Jay Rood, Race and Sports Book Director of the MGM MIRAGE in Las Vegas. A great guy, I had to slow him down a few times to make sure I was comprehending what he was telling me. So to that end…
