Ryan Villopoto Wins AMA Supercross Race
Ryan Villopoto wins the Monster Energy AMA Supercross. The race was held at AT&T Park in San Fransisco and was Villopoto’s 1st win of the season.
Ryan Dungey, who is leading in the AMA Supercross standing, made a crucial mistake that night at the end of the 10th lap. He lost control of his bike and fell. Dungey’s bike went about 20 yards of ahead of him and by the time he could regain his composure, Villopoto cut Dungey’s 7 second lead to just 2 seconds.
Dungey said, “I’m just glad I’m all right, it could have been really nasty.”
Villiopoto took advantage of the situation and quickly took the lead and held on for the victory, which is the 3rd win in his career.
Villopoto said, “It was tough out there. The track was slippery and really difficult to ride. Its a long season and I just need to keep my head down and keep scoring points, anything can happen as we have seen already.”
James Stewart, the reining champion, was not competing due to a broken wrist.
