THE 2011 SUPERCROSS SEASON ISN’T THE<br />

FIRST TIME DUNLOP-SPONSORED RIDERS<br />

TOOK ALL THE TITLES.<br />

It didn’t take long for Dunlop to begin logging championships.<br />

Less than two years after John Boyd Dunlop invented the<br />

pneumatic tire, Willie Hume fitted the first pneumatic tires used<br />

in racing to his bicycle and won all four events at the Queen’s<br />

College Sports in Belfast.<br />

In 2011, Dunlop riders won all the AMA 450 and 250<br />

championships, and in 2010, Dunlop riders not only won all of<br />

the Supercross titles, but they went on to take the 450 and 250<br />

Motocross championships as well. As impressive as these<br />

sweeps have been, they are not the first time Dunlop has left all<br />

other competitors wondering what hit them.<br />
