Catch Brett Metcalfe and the Aussie contingent on SPEED TV Australia all season long.

The Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship at Hangtown in Northern California will be broadcast live on SPEED TV Australia this weekend.

Australian viewers will be able to catch all the action from the FMF Hangtown Motocross Classic at 9.00am AEST on Sunday morning, 20 May.

However you will have to press the ‘Red Button’ on your remote control to switch to the motocross once on SPEED, as it’ll air simultaneously with the NASCAR All-Star Race from Charlotte.

In a bonus for Aussie fans, SPEED will also show the Lucas Oil Motocross Preview Show tonight, 16 May, at 8.00pm AEST directly following SPEED News Australia.

SPEED and SPEED HD are available to FOXTEL and AUSTAR subscribers.

South Australian Brett Metcalfe will enter the nationals as our main hope for success after finishing second in 2010 and fourth last season, riding for Yoshimura Suzuki in the 450 Class. Queensland’s Michael Byrne will also return after sitting out supercross.

The 250 Class will feature Matt Moss on the Australian-owned JDR/J-Star/KTM team, in his official return to U.S. motocross after a promising supercross season.
