Ryan Villopoto Wins 2013 Supercross In St Louis

PIC: www.cyclenews.com

There are certainly many valid claims to the legitimacy of it, but two-times champion Ryan Villopoto picked up his fourth win of the 2013 championship with another commanding victory at St.Louis.

Anyone who might question whether a Supercross race is exciting enough would have been duly silenced after the events on Saturday. St Louis had it all: crashes, restarts, intense racing and a couple of suspicious acts of rule breaking...

First things first. After a nasty accident between Kyle Chisholm and Matt Goerke on lap 3 (see the first video), the race was restarted with a not-often-seen single file line. With James Stewart having led the race up until that point, he sat at the front of the queue. Ryan Villopoto (who already seemed to avoid a wrist slapping for jumping while a medical flag was out) sat back in 6th. 

It wasnt a position he would stay in for long as both Villopoto and Chad Reed quickly work their way past Mike Alessi (who started in 3rd), to start  chasing down Justin Barcia in 2nd. Villopoto then muscles Reed out of 3rd before the end of lap five.

By lap eight, everything started to kick off: Barcia was sat on Stewarts tail, with Villopoto hot on the heels of Barcia. By lap 10, RV had overtaken Barcia and was swapping the lead with Stewart multiple times over the next couple of laps. At one point, both Ryan Villopoto and Justin Barcia sit ahead of James Stewart but Barcia tags a tuff block on lap 13 which allows Stewart, Reed and - from out of nowhere - Ryan Dungey to get past, pushing Barcia back to 5th.

With five laps left to go, we are shown a replay of VIllopoto passing Stewart on a yellow flag but it seems that the race officials let the Monster Energy riders second infraction slide.

So, by the end of the race, RV takes a big chunk out of Millsaps points lead (Davi finished back in 6th) and Ryan Dungey sits as a quiet threat in 3rd. There are seven races still to go, but Villopoto is showing that he wont let anything get in his way on his mission for a third championship title.

Ryan Dungey Wins Round 5 Of 2013 Supercross At Anaheim III

Photo: Speed TV

People have been comparing this years Supercross to the 2012 F1 season and its easy to see why: after five rounds there have been four different riders standing at the top spot of the podium. Back-to-back wins from Ryan Villopoto had us fearing the start of another RV whitewash Anheim III saw Ryan Dungey emerge as the winner.

Dungey had an appalling time in the qualifying heat races, but the main event looked like a walk in the park. Even with Justin Brayton picking up the Holeshot and Mike Alessi leading the first lap, Dungey had established a place out front by lap 2, made easier thanks to Alessi falling on a corner sortly after he was overtaken. It was a lead that he carried through to the checkered flag without much in the way of a threat from the riders behind him.

While Dungey will be pleased with his solid performance, Chad Reed seems to be continuing his run of back luck, thanks to another multi-rider accident on the third corner of the first lap that took both Brayton and Ryan Villopoto out of contention. Reed managed to salvage 16 points by the end of the race but Villopoto had to settle with an 8th place.

Fans of James Stewart finally had something to cheer about with his best performance of the championship so far, who was riding in 2nd place until lap 13 when he had to give up places to a determined Davi Millsaps (who keeps the red plate and now boasts a 14 point lead) and Justin Barcia who snatched a place back on the podium after a couple of races sat out thanks to accidents.

Were just under a third of the way through the 2013 championship and we still dont think anyone could confidently pick who will be champion. Roll on San Diego!

Dakar Rally 2013 Best Of Videos

Yesterday the epic Dakar Rally concluded, with past favourites and multiples winners once again taking the top spot on the podium in almost every class.

Just 67% of the entrants managed to negotiate and complete the 8000km+ route from Lima to Santiago but there were lots of familiar faces celebrating their victories:

Brett Cue Road To X Games 2013

It must take dedication to start training for an event that you are not even sure that youll be invited to. But that hasnt stopped Brett Cue, otherwise known as BQ365, from being prepared for what many people feel is a sure fire appearance at next years X Games.

Cue has become something of a peoples champion in the world of MX and FMX, with many thinking that he is a dead cert for the 2013 Best Whip Event at X Games 2013.

With supporters that include Justin Brayton, Jeremy Twitch Stenberg, Kyle Regal, the mysterious Ronnie Mac and more, wed thought wed get onboard too. Take a look at the vid and see what you think yourselves...

GoPro Ken Block At The 2013 Oregon Trail Rally

Woah. The Oregon Trail Rally is pretty balls-out, huh? Bro, did he even lift his foot off the accelerator the whole time?

This all-GoPro edit show Ken Block hooning his way around rally stage at quite eye-watering speeds. Check out this footage from his test run.  

Also, we were wondering... does KBs co-pilot shout out his own name when they cross the stage finish? Just seems that yelling "GELSOMINO!" at they fly past the line seems appropriate. No? Just us then...

Teaser 2013 Monster Energy Yahama Motocross World Championship Team

The first round of the FIM World Motocross Championship kicks off on the 2nd March in Losail and Yamaha recently gave us a teasing glimpse of the new bikes and the new team (Steven Frossard and Joel Roelants for MX1, and Italian MX2 Champion Christophe Charlier). Apparently there will be a more detailed reveal later today so stay tuned!

Jackson Strong At The 2013 Winter X Games

Aspen in Colorado was once again home for the Winter X Games and the place of battle for the world’s best snowboard, ski and snowmobile athletes. Although the well-documented talents of five-peat champion Shaun White are always worth checking out, the 2013 X Games was of particular interest to us because of the participation of Metal Mulisha rider Jackson ‘Jacko’ Strong. With two X Games gold medal for Best FMX Trick in the Summer Games, Jacko thought he would see if his freestyle skills would translate to the Snowmobile Best Trick competition at Aspen.

If the X-Games presenters were to be believed, the Aussie rider had a grand total of four hours on the seat of a Snowmobile and had only ever even SEEN snow twice before. How’s that for ballsy? Even despite the inexperience, with a winter equivalent of the Body Varial that won him gold at Los Angeles, Jacko’s run had all the makings of becoming X Games history.

Clearly feeling nervous on the day, Strong’s runs were sadly not to become the stuff of legend. Although tantalisingly close, both runs came up short. A mis-timed grab on his first run led to a bad fall that saw his Snowmobile needing to be recovered from the car park (yep, really) while an over-rotation on his second run flung him over the handlebars. Daring stuff, but still only enough to get him 6th at Aspen. If we don’t see him trying something similar next year we will be very surprised…

Dirt Shark At Phoenix Supercross 2013

It was only recently that we praised the Dirt Shark videos for keeping it real and giving viewers an authentic insight into the atmosphere during a Supercross weekend. This video from Phoenix, however, sorta blows. Well, at least a third of it does. So, skip about two and a half minutes past the lame robbing a grocery store to steal some Monster skit and get straight to the Supercross action.

Then you can witness Windhams (even more awesome than normal) pre-race transfer jump, catch some behind-the-scenes chat with the riders, as well as some words from the winners Tomac and Barcia. Plus, of course, a bit of girl ogling too. Much better.

So, stop trying so hard to be cool, Dirt Shark. We already liked you.
