Monster Energy Supercross: Monster Energy Makes a Presence at Anaheim 1

Angel
Stadium played host for the first round of the Monster Energy
Supercross in Anaheim, California. The stadium was sold out, the racing
was intense, and the fans were pumped to get the 2012 season started.



Monster
Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki rider, Tyla Rattray, had an impressive
showing on Saturday. Rattray's ultra-smooth ride earned him a solid 2nd
place in the Lites main.



Monster
Energy Kawasaki’s Ryan Villopoto--2011 Monster Energy Supercross
Champion, 2011 Monster Energy Cup Champion, and 2011 AMA Outdoor
National Champion--was clearly ready for battle. He opened the 2012
Monster Energy Supercross season with a victory in the Supercross class.
He looked fast, rode well, and dominated Anaheim 1.



Rattray
was happy to be on the podium for the opening round of Monster Energy
Supercross at Anaheim. "It feels good to get this first round out of my
system. I'm glad I finished on the podium and am excited to keep the
momentum going for the rest of the West rounds. Thanks to Monster Energy
for everything they do for me and the rest of the team. I'm feeling the
vibe!"



Villopoto
with his first-place trophy and Nuclear Cowboyz Holeshot award.
Everyone knows he's fast, but he really displayed his talent at Anaheim
1. Finishing 12 seconds ahead of the 2nd place rider in the Supercross
class, he proved that he is truly a force to be reckoned with, and will
be a title contender for the 2012 Monster Energy Supercross season.
