SLR Honda’s Tallon LaFountaine Earns 2021 NGPC Pro II Title
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
November 15, 2021 — BLYTHE, Calif.
- Second-consecutive Pro II crown for the CRF250RX rider
- SLR also earns NGPC Open A Championship, with Evan Stice
During this weekend’s AMA National Grand Prix Championship #Event (NGPC) held just west of the California-Arizona border, SLR #Honda rider Tallon LaFountaine clinched his second consecutive Pro II National Championship. The class is for 250cc machinery, and the Utah native has ridden his #Honda CRF250RX to four wins in the nine rounds held thus far. (Although a final NGPC #Event will be run in two weeks, LaFountaine’s 40-point lead is mathematically insurmountable for his competition.)
The 2021 Pro II title is the second in a row for LaFountaine, who now lives near SLR’s headquarters in Yucca Valley, California. LaFountaine posted a second-place finish at the 2021 season opener, then clicked off three wins in a row, followed by another runner-up result. Although a mechanical issue hindered him at the next race, another victory at round 7 kept him in control, and despite encountering a problem at round 8, he came into Sunday’s Prospectors M.C.-hosted #Event with a 36-point lead. Although finishing one spot behind his main rival would have been enough to clinch the crown on the rough sand track at Shorty’s Sports Park, the former motocrosser passed that rider and finished second – more than enough to sew up the title.
“It was important for me to back up last year’s championship, so I’m stoked to get that done,” LaFountaine said. “I had the points lead for most of the year, and it was nice to be able to control things. It was a little different having that pressure and thinking about it more, whereas last year at the last couple races, I had to win. If you win a championship and race in the same class the next year, I think it’s just as important to back it up. I wanted to make sure I represented myself well and proved that I am the champion. The class was a little deeper this season, and I had a lot of good battles and wins. I was proud of that, and I think the main thing was I left it on the track every time. I made a lot of big improvements from last year to this year, and just knowing I can handle the pressure now is a big accomplishment.”
