Womens motocross added to X Games
Adding womens motocross to X Games this year is great timing and a perfect fit, says Rick Alessandri, managing director for ESPNs X Games franchise. We are committed to expanding the female participation at this world-class event, and the womens motocross circuit demonstrates unbelievable talent deserving recognition on the X Games stage.
Womens Moto X Racing will join Supermoto, and Supercross racing at the X Games, as well as several freestyle competitions. The inaugural X Games womens motocross competition will feature ten top female racers including 17-year-old Womens Motocross Association Pro National phenom Ashley Fiolek.
This is a huge step forward in womens professional motocross, says Fiolek who will compete in the 125cc two-stroke and 250cc four-stroke classes. I feel honored to be asked to participate in the X Games and I am looking forward to a great race.
The womens motocross competition is scheduled for 4 pm EST on Aug. 2 and will be broadcast live on ABC.
