Monster
Energy Kawasaki's Ryan Villopoto captured his first career championship
in the supercross class at the final event of the Monster Energy
Supercross, an FIM Championship at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas. His
third-place finish was good enough to take home his first championship
on the Kawasaki KX450F. Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki's Broc
Tickle overtook second-place in the final laps of the AMA Supercross
Lites, Western Region main event to win his first professional
championship. The AMA Supercross Lites, Eastern Region main event saw
Blake Baggett ride patiently and take his second win of the season
aboard his Kawasaki KX250F, while Dean Wilson came through the pack to
finish just off the podium in fourth. Monster Energy/Pro
Circuit/Kawasaki Western Region riders Tyla Rattray and Josh Hansen
picked up sixth and 10th place finishes, respectively, in their main
event. The East/West shoot out race had Wilson again in fourth, Tickle
finishing 10th, Rattray in 11th and Baggett ending the night in 12th.
Villopoto's teammate Jake Weimer came through the pack in the
supercross main event from 15th on the first lap to finish an
impressive sixth.
