The Sports Syndicate's Ryan Villopoto extended his points lead with a dominant overall victory on his 23rd birthday at Unadilla Sports Valley Center in New Berlin, N.Y. during the ninth round of the AMA Motocross Championship series. The win was his second of the season, but the first aboard the 2012 Kawasaki KX450F. Villopoto started his birthday scoring the fastest qualifying time and those fast times carried over into the two grueling motos. Although the weather was beautiful, the track was tough, but Villopoto quickly made his way to the front to lead both motos before the halfway mark. “I knew that I would be bummed today with anything less than a win and I was able to put two good motos together,” said Villopoto. “It was great to get the opportunity to try out the new KX450F and it seems to fit me well already. This win came at a great time and helped me move six more points into the lead.” For more info about Ryan's win click the link to visit www.kawasaki.com Another big moment that took place was the announcement of Team USA for Motocross of Nations. Villopoto was asked to be a part of the three-man team in September at Le Circuit du Put de Poursay in Saint Jean D’Angely, France.
