Supercross News

MotoGP, Supercross, motocross, freestyle motocross, if it has two wheels and burns gasoline, Monster athletes are famous for being the world´s best in their chosen form of competition.

The Monster Energy Kawasaki team got some discouraging news early in the week prior to the penultimate round of the Monster Energy/AMA Supercross Series, when test results revealed that two-time and current AMA Supercross Champ, Ryan Villopoto, suffered a season-ending knee injury in his awkward fall at the Seattle Supercross. That means the defending AMA National Outdoor Motocross Champion will be forced to forfeit his title outdoors, and miss the remainder of the Supercross Series as well.

Coming off of the success that the Monster Energy contingent experienced a week earlier in New Orleans, Louisiana, the teams and racers were confident heading into Seattle, where Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Dean Wilson headed back into action as the Lites West series resumed after a two-month hiatus in Seattle, and Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Ryan Villopoto and Jake Weimer headed out to do battle in the 450cc class.

While his competition is busy healing up from injuries, or fighting things out with their teams, Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Ryan Villopoto is just getting stronger and stronger. In New Orleans, the newly crowned two-time SX champ recorded his ninth win of the season, in one of his most dominant performances of the year.
