MotoGP Champion Dominates Regional Unicycle Competition


Confirming his mastery on any number of wheels, iconic race hero, Paddy O'Moto, stamped a big 'P' onto the forehead of unicyclists worldwide. 

Just days after securing an entirely expected victory at the inaugural Red Bull Indianapolis Grand Prix, the world's reigning motorcycle champion found himself stranded in a cornfield just outside of Owensboro, KY, his ethanol-powered megajet unresponsive to the local brew.

"The refined corn we use to fuel our engines usually has a lot more melted butter in it," said Two Micks Racing technical director and noted foodie, Bart "The Troubadour" Stebbins. "These Mid-Westerners are on some kind of health kick or something."

With his departure delayed and his fourth autobiography just hitting bookstore shelves, P. O'Moto elected to train for this weekend's first Formula One night race by entering the regional qualifier for the State Unicycle Championship. Open to all ages, the local one-wheel race has been the highlight of the Daviess County Fair since 1822.

Utilizing the vast resources of Two Micks Engineering, O'Moto not only decimated his newly embittered rivals (some carrying children and picnic baskets) but also performed the first ever unicycle wheelie, a feat previously and subsequently thought to be impossible.

Former winner and local hero, Nicky Hayden, grinned but was unavailable for comment.
