Los
Angeles, CA - Acerbis-backed Monster Energy Kawasaki's Ryan Villopoto
took an impressive win at round 3 of the 2011 AMA Monster Energy
Supercross Series.



Villopoto, who spent much of last year on the sidelines due to injury made a strong statement in taking his 2nd
win of the 2011 race season. Looking stronger and faster than ever,
Villopoto started his night off on top, taking the win in his
qualifying heat race.
 


When the gate dropped in the main event, however, Villopoto found himself in 9th position well behind defending champion Ryan Dungey and the previous round winner, James Stewart.  The midpack start didn't seem to faze Villopoto as he charged his way to 6th place on lap two and 5th on lap three.  Villopoto
then passed Dungey on lap nine and stayed on Stewart's tail until he
made a mistake on lap 11 and thereafter soared his way to the checkered
flag.  Stewart held onto 2nd place ahead of Ryan Dungey in 3rd.
