Supercross .. Canadian Style!
Supercross went to Montreal this weekend, crunching through the ice and snow!!
95-5 KLAQ rocks!! Time again for Motorcycle Monday! Brought to us by Santa Teresa Motorsports! Located on Livingston ... off Country Club right by the river!! Join me out there Saturday from noon til 2 for free Q goodies, Avalanche tickets and great deals!! Now and through April, test drive a Victory motorcycle and if you still buy another model after the ride, they'll give you 95+5 dollars!!
Supercross in Montreal ... Montreal? They have dirt there?? I thought it was all snow and ice. Anyway, interesting weekend! In timed practice laps, Stewart once again sets the gold standard .. under 52 seconds!! Uneventful qualifiers and practice laps though Ryan Sipes went down at one point. He's cool though and ready to race.
The usual front runners banging bars ... Stewart, Reed, Dungey, Canard, Windham ....... Stewart way ready to get back to business! The last couple of weeks haven't been nice to Bubba and he's got some ground to make up! He wins qualifier #2 with a 20 second lead. At this weeks times, that's almost a full lap!
Main event, Dungey doesn't get the hole shot, but has the lead within a few seconds. Horrible starts for Stewart and Villopoto ... they are wayyyy back, in 13th and 10th respectively. As if that wasn't bad enough, battling for 9th, they slam into each other and they're both down. James, again, settle ....... you have no room for error anymore!
End game. Stewart makes it back to 4th. Dungey may be headed for his first win here ... but Reed and Canard want it to and they're not making it easy on him. Villopoto damn sure isn't threatening him ... not all the way back in 14th. He's being lapped at this point and either he or his machine was damaged in the last fall cuz he's sucking right now. In the end, Dungey does it!! His 1st win of the season!!!!!!! Reed takes second and gives Dungey big props! Canard 3rd and Stewart takes 4th but he's quite a way back from Canard.
Points wise, theres a new sheriff in town!! Reed is out front with 236, Villopoto loses his ass this week, but maintains 2nd place at 233. Dungey 3rd with 228 and Stewart in 4th with 216. Bubba, you better get it together man ... you're running out of races! To my man Dungey, CONGRATS!!!!!!!
Chad Reed says: You've got to carry on. Ryan (Dungey) rode an amazing race, I gave it everything I had just to stick with him. The team (TwoTwo Motorsports) is awesome. We are sitting pretty good in the championship - I want to win this thing so bad.
Ryan Dungey says: It's been a tough one (the season so far). I got off to a great start tonight. It feels awesome. The track was tough - glad we could pull it off. I want to thank the Man above, and my parents. There was a really close call over the triples - I'm glad things worked out for me.
