• WHO WON THE TRIUMPH TF250X GRAND PRIZE IN THE MXA FANTASY LEAGUE?

The MXA Fantasy League has come to a conclusion and those who have played through the entire season have become victorious. We’d like to thank everyone who played this year whether it was in Supercross, motocross, or just SMX it didn’t go unnoticed. We did have a few bumps in the road along the way, it was the first year MXA’s Justin Lee had ever built an app of that magnitude, and the users who joined exceeded expectations. We’ve taken into consideration all the comments and concerns from this year and will be using them to improve the app for next year. Congratulations to those who won weekly prizes all thanks to our great sponsors. We hope to see you all again next year! Now let’s get into the winners of the grand prizes.

THE GRAND PRIZE WINNER: CURTIS HARDEBACK

Congratulations to Curtis Hardeback for becoming the MXA Fantasy League champion. Curtis did not start the series in the top ten, but as time passed, he consistently received close to 200 points at every round. It was late in the motocross season before he found himself battling for the lead. Heading into the final round Curtis sat in second and needed as many points as possible from the Las Vegas Supermotocross finale. He was able to get that significant boost and was able to take the win by six points over second-place finisher BillClaerhout. In the final round at Las Vegas Curtis scored 199 points which was enough to put him into the lead. He will now be able to enjoy his brand new Triumph TF 250X courtesy of our partners at Triumph, 

SECOND OVERALL: BILL CLAERHOUT

Congratulations to Bill Claerhout on winning $2500 worth of Maxxis tires. Bill will now be able to re-shoe his vehicle of choice with a new set of tires. With the price of tires these days, Maxxis really stepped up to help our second-place overall winner. Bill did have the lead for quite a few rounds but slipped back to second in the final race. In the final round at Las Vegas, Bill scored 169 points which put him just behind the leader. Nevertheless, he still gets to take home an awesome prize for his vehicle.

THIRD OVERALL: RON KNOTT

In the third spot overall was Ron Knott. Ron moved into the top ten with just three weeks left of racing however he had been sitting just outside for a few of the rounds prior. As the series got closer to the end in Las Vegas, Ron started to climb the ranks with his great overall picks. In the final round, he had moved into the third position and now will be able to choose between a two-stroke pipe and silence, or a four-stroke muffler, courtesy of FMF Racing. At the final round in Las Vegas, Ron scored 209 points which was enough to give him that boost into third overall.

FOURTH OVERALL: WILLIAM SHAFFER

William Shaffer was the fourth-place overall finisher and will receive $500 towards Boyesen products of his liking. William also moved into the top ten as the final rounds approached. He was also one of the most consistent players through the second half of the season. He also scored 209 points in the final round at Las Vegas which was enough to grab fourth overall. Now he will have one of the best-looking bikes at the track with his new Boyesen products. 

THE WINNER OF THE LAS VEGAS ROUND: ISAAC FERLAND

Isaac Ferland won the awesome prizes from BOB The Cooler Co. Isaac was able to accumulate 258 points in the final round and picked every 450 riders in the correct position except Chase Sexton, who crashed out early in moto one. Lucky for Isaac, almost every player also had Sexton and would miss those points. He also chose Pierce Brown for sixth which turned out to be a great pick as many put Brown off their radar and Pierce would go on to win. BOB The Cooler Co. keeps us cool on the hot days at Glen Helen and we are sure they will do the same for Isaac.
