Little luck on this one. Villopoto crashed and went from last place to 3rd in the second half of the moto. Was a awsome race!

KTM winning in Supercross is a huge deal. They have poured a huge amount of money into getting the right people at RED Bull KTM. They started by getting Roger De Coster as team manager and sealed the deal with a top rider in Ryan Dungey. KTM has done well in European Enduros for quite some time, but this is their first big win in the North American market. I look forward to them sitting on top of the podium more this year....give Stewart (Yamaha), Villipoto (Kawasaki), and Reed (Honda) something to be scared of.

Villipoto flies!
Dungey was third in Anahiem and looked better in Pheonix...Roger DeCoster is the man! New bike and big bucks from KTM this year.
Stewart is still pretty amazing until he crashes out...
What's that ... 13 wins at Dakar now?

Gota like the KTM market strattegy though. Who doesn't know the name Roger DeCoster

Yup, watched in person at A1, Stewart had the fastest posted practice time but it was just for that lap, RV rode practice like it was a moto, all his laps were fast

With Villopoto and Dungey swapping first and second place finnishes like they have we just might have a points race yet! Kinda sad to see Chad out for the season and if James would just stay on the bike... Oh well at least it isn't too much a one man show like when the 'GOAT' was racing. Man has he packed on the weight or what. Must be that good southern food and wedding ring!
