        <![CDATA[<p>Ryan Villopoto is running away with just about everything. Big time.</p>
<p>Fresh off the heels of claiming a history-making third straight Supercross Title, Oakley’s MX phenom charged into the Outdoors at Hangtown (Sacramento) as hungry a title-chasing privateer rider. Smoking fellow Oakley star, Ryan Dungey, by a massive 21.5 seconds in Moto 1 and 20.2 seconds in the second Moto – the Seattle native displayed his program’s professionalism and solid operations en route to dominance before a record crowd of 24,500 fans.</p>
<p>As always, it was almost businesslike as RV swept the day’s races…just as Oakley’s motocross team swept the podium through both Motos.</p>]]>

      <description>
        <![CDATA[<p>Jeffrey Herlings is fast. Almost too fast.</p>
<p>Oakley’s Dutch Young Gun, continuing his utter dominance of the MX2 class all year long, was finally crowned with the World Title by comfortably owning both motos at the GP of Europe at Faenza (Italy).</p>
<p>The 17-year-old ripper, first taking the win in the qualifiers with ease, didn’t let up in any way all day long – charging through both Holeshots with reckless abandon to an emphatic overall victory. The result was his ninth GP triumph on the season…with just as much style as ever.</p>
<p>&#8220;I had many ups and downs during the whole season, but I managed to find the way to get through everything and win the title,&#8221; Jeff said, rocking his Oakley Crowbar MX Goggles. &quot;I am really happy to have had my team behind me because they have been really supportive all the time.”</p>]]>

      <title>Mental Speed: Motocross World GP Star Jeff Herlings Laps the Field at Lierop to Utterly Own the MX 2 Class</title>

      <description>
        <![CDATA[<p>Jeffrey Herlings is merely 17 years old…and already making history.</p>
<p>Oakley’s Dutch Motocross phenom lapped most of the field before a massive collection of crazed home fans at Lierop Grand Prix this past weekend. The youngster, charging into the event with a commanding MX 2 class championship standings lead over Tommy Searle, smoked <span class="caps">KTM</span> teammate Jeremy Van Horebeek in Moto 1 to claim victory at an insane 2:07 minutes ahead.</p>
<p>In general, he flat out embarrassed riders all day long. And he fully intended to.</p>
<p>“I came out today with a pole position and made two hole shots,” Jeff said, rocking his Oakley MX goggles and Dispatch 2 eyewear. “The first moto was unbelievable. I just cruised my way to the finish, and lapped up until second, only my teammate Jeremy stayed in the same lap so it was an awesome race. And in the second moto, I took the hole shot again and lapped up to fourth and I got the full 50 points. I’ve extended my points lead on Tommy so I really happy with that one.”</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>It was full on redemption for Ryan Dungey.</p>
<p>After surrendering his <span class="caps">AMA</span> Pro Motocross title last season, Oakley’s star emphatically reclaimed glory and his second Championship following the ripper’s eighth straight dominating victory at Unadilla.</p>
<p>The <span class="caps">KTM</span> Factory rider, tallying the brand’s first ever 450 title, swept the Motos to take his 22nd overall victory in the class.</p>
<p>“It was a pretty amazing day,” Ryan said, rocking his Oakley Signature Series MX Goggles. “To be honest, I knew we could wrap up today, but my focus was putting on a solid performance and moving forward. Mike (Alessi) has been riding well, but unfortunately there was a <span class="caps">DNF</span>. In the second moto, I just wanted to put in a solid ride and wrap up this championship.”</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Ryan Dungey loves RedBud MX.</p>
<p>Oakley’s Minnesota-raised Motocross Star threw down, big time, at his favorite track in the <span class="caps">AMA</span> Motocross series, sweeping the 450 class motos for his fourth straight victory on the season. The triumph pushed his lead in the Championship standings to a massive 72 points ahead of Mike Alessi.</p>
<p>“Having James (“Bubba” Stewart) back this week was good to add another challenge, and it’s good for the sport,” said Ryan, rocking his Signature Series Oakley MX Goggles. “We made some more changes to the bike coming into (today) and I think we’ve made even more progress. My starts were good and I knew getting out front would make life easier, having a whole track to work with. It’s (too) early to think points, but you’ve got to be smart. With James back, you knew he’d be there, so I didn’t want to downplay him. I just wanted to get a good start and see how things played out.”</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>There’s only one way to describe the Moto X Enduro X event at X Games: Absolutely gnarly.</p>
<p>But despite the grueling, punishing nature of the race, Oakley’s Mike Brown topped the strong field of riders to emerge victorious with the Gold. After grabbing the Holeshot with authority, he gapped the competition and powered his way to the win unchallenged.</p>
<p>&#8220;To come back from to the silver to the gold is great,” he said, rocking his Oakley MX Goggles. “That was my goal this year. All day long I was riding good and I had good times, and I knew if I got a good start I help me win the gold.&#8221;</p>]]>
