RacerX Monday Conversation: Ben Townley April 23, 2007 The world was literally on the edge of it's seat for the last east
coast Lites supercross final, with Ben Townley just three points
behind the model of consistency, Ryan Morais. The "world" part is
for real: Townley is from New Zealand, and he's made his name
in the sport in the FIM World MX Championships before coming to
America to ride for Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki. All eyes
and internet connections were on this last main event. Ben could
win the title by winning the last main, but neither he nor Morais
got the holeshot, and Ryan Dungey seemed to have that under
control. That means Morais could win the title finishing just behind
Townley, unless Darcy Lange, Townley's teammate, could get
between them. That wasn't going to happen, because in a strange
first turn incident, Mike Alessi fell without falling and ran right in
front of Lange's front wheel! Townley was on his own. Good for
him, Morais stalled in the early laps, setting him back just enough
that Townley would stay out of reach. Dungey won, Townley was
second and Mitch Payton is looking for more room on the door of
his semi for another #1 plate. click on ozzy go to the interview
