Can-Am ATV Pro Josh
Frederick Takes WORCS Round Two
Valcourt, Québec, March 2, 2010 – Team
Motoworks / Can-Am® DS 450™ pilot Josh Frederick
narrowly missed taking the WORCS round-one and
was determined to make up for it. During the
weeks between the race, Frederick trained harder
and the team changed some suspension settings.
It worked. Round two saw Frederick battle to the
front during the race and once he had the lead,
he didn't look back. Frederick won the race by
almost a minute on second place; he is now tied
for the points lead.
"Even though it is only round two, Team
Motoworks already has a championship-battle
mentality," says Jimmie O'Dell, Racing Manager
for Can-Am ATVs at BRP. "Everyone is committed
to giving each of the team riders a chance at
championships this season; they are focused on
putting the DS 450 at the top."
Fredericks teammate and fellow Pro-class rider,
Dillon Zimmerman, had the class holeshot at the
start and was able to power his DS 450 to fifth
in the class.
The next round in the WORCS championship is
March 26-27 at Lake Havasu, Arizona. For more

Racer Quotes
“It felt good to be back on top of the podium.
We were working with a new suspension set up and
it worked incredibly well. I kind of paced
myself until about the midway point and then I
started to push it. I passed a couple of people
and then caught up to the leader and I got
around him." — Josh Fredrick
"It was a dead engine start and my bike fired
right up and I was able to take my first
Pro-class holeshot! I went out there and just
rode my own race and I was able to finish in the
top five." — Dillon Zimmerman
