The Sports Syndicate's Ryan Villopoto took his third win of the season during the Monster Energy AMA Supercross at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego. Villopoto now sits atop the overall standings by 6 points in the SX class. Rounding the first lap of the main event, Villopoto sat in second and wasted no time making his move into the lead, passing the leader before the finish line. He would click off consistent laps until lapped traffic started to hold Villopoto back. This allowed second place to briefly get by for the lead, but Villopoto would again use the corner before the finish to retake the lead and take the checkered flag. “You really had to be smooth every lap to pass lappers and race for the lead," said Villopoto. "San Diego's dirt is really slippery and the whoops were long and cupped out. Most tracks we don’t even think twice about hitting them wide open, but these you really had to think about going into them steady and smooth. I’ve never won San Diego in the supercross class so it feels great to check this off.” Monster Energy AMA Supercross heads to the east coast next weekend to Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
