As of this last weekend, we can reset the “Days Without a Vince Friese Incident” counter. Down under in Melbourne, Australia, the MotoConcepts Honda rider was actually close to becoming this generation’s Heath Voss by winning the two-round “World Supercross Championship” over Ken Roczen.
It felt like Ken Roczen’s days at Honda HRC were numbered for a while now. With the rise of the Lawrence Brothers in the 250 class, and Chase Sexton becoming a bonified superstar this summer, that feeling only grew with time.
Once again, it is that magical time of year in the Supercross/Motocross realm where dominos for the following year have already begun to fall. Whether that be contract, injury, or manufacturer information, there is usually something to talk about around this time of year.
18 weeks have flown by and this year’s Monster Energy Supercross season is now over. Last night Salt Lake City closed things out for the third consecutive year, and only the first time they have had just one round.
In March of 2018, Christian Craig’s career in Supercross suffered a major roadblock. He wouldn’t know until 10 months later, but he had traces of Heptaminol in his system from a drug test.
For the second weekend in a row, it was Championship Day in Monster Energy Supercross. Both Christian Craig and hometown hero Eli Tomac had clear roads to the 250 West and 450 Titles respectively.
Entering Saturday, just 10 riders in the history of Monster Energy Supercross had won multiple Premier Class Championships. That list is a whos-who in the sport, with names like Ricky Carmichael, Jeremy McGrath, James Stewart, Chad Reed, Jeff Stanton, etc.
For the third to last round of Supercross in 2022, the series returned to Foxborough, Massachusetts for the first time since 2018.
On his ride to superstardom in the United States, Jett Lawrence picked up his second championship on a 250 since moving over from Australia.
This weekend, Supercross takes place on the east coast for the final time of the season. The location; Gillette Stadium in Foxborough Massachusetts, which is just the third time ever Supercross will take place at the current home of the New England Patriots.
Although the season is well past halfway, Sunday marked the first of two Monster Energy Supercross 250 Showdown rounds. The top 250 East and West riders were pitted against each other in a race that has the potential to turn both title battles upside down.
After an eventful break, Supercross made its return to St. Louis, Missouri after a year off. Just five rounds remain in the season, and this year 450 championship will likely be clinched well before the final round in Salt Lake City.
