with riders Tania Satchwell and Sarah Whitmore
at Round 4 of the AMA-WML Altex Computers

16-17.The team has had one of its riders finish
on the podium at every round this year.
AGP Racing.com’s Whitmore holds second in the
WML championship standings, with three rounds
remaining. She is coming off one of the best
rides of the year following her Women’s 105cc,
125cc & Up class championship win at the AMA/Air
Antiques Loretta Lynn’s Amateur National
Championships on August 9.She bested some of the
fastest women motocross racers from across the
country on her Yamaha YZ125.In the WML series,
Whitmore has finished second in at least one of
the two motos at every round this year.
“This year has been awesome,” said AGP
Racing.com’s Whitmore, who wears WML number
four. “We’ve been in a position for a win on the
AGP Racing.com Yamaha at every national race
this year. Everything came together last weekend
at Loretta Lynn’s (Amateur Nationals). It
feels great to win a title, and hopefully we can
pull off a win at Spring Creek.”
AGP Racing.com’s Satchwell had a great
comeback from a broken collarbone by placing
fourth at WML Round 3.She currently sits in
seventh place in the WML championship standings.
With strong rides this year and the experience
of a former champion, Satchwell cannot be
counted out for a win at Spring Creek on her FMF
and Factory 909-supported YZ125.
“It was great to get back to racing at
Washougal a few weeks ago,” said Satchwell who
wears number 105.“We have a good race behind us
and now I will charge even harder to run up
front on my YZ125. It would be cool for both
Sarah (Whitmore) and I to be on the podium at
Spring Creek.”

of the WML series.All rounds are run in
conjunction with the AMA/Chevy Trucks U.S.
