5 Minutes With...Brett Metcalfe May 16, 2007 While Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki teammates Ryan
Villopoto and Ben Townley have ruled the headlines in the 2007
AMA Supercross Lites tour, Brett Metcalfe has quietly stood in the
shadows, awaiting his turn to race on the outdoor national circuit.
Up to speed and fully rehabilitated from shoulder surgery
performed on him last November, the Australia-born rider is
finally off the disabled list and ready to take his place on the
starting gate. This Sunday, at the 39th Annual Hangtown
Motocross Classic at the Prairie City SVRA Park in Sacramento,
#123 plans on being a frontrunner. With Villopoto and Townley—
the West and East SX champs, respectively—already a highly-
anticipated match-up here, Metcalfe only adds to the drama,
along with Suzuki’s Ryan Dungey, Yamaha’s Josh Hill, YOT’s
Jason Lawrence, Honda’s Tommy Hahn, Factory Connection’s
Josh Grant and Jake Weimer, and many more.
A few days after the Glen Helen Prequel — a race he thoroughly
dominated with a double-moto sweep— we caught up with the
rider who some believe has a genuine shot at the #1 plate
outdoors. As always, humble and quietly confident, the 23-year-
old was looking forward to this weekend. ozzy go to the interview
