MNSS SUPERCROSS RACER RYAN VILLOPOTO COMMANDS HIS FIFTH WIN OF THE SEASON AT THE ST. LOUIS SX
In front of a record-breaking crowd inside the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis MO, The Sports Syndicates’s Ryan Villopoto scored his fifth win of the season at Round 9 of Monster Energy AMA Supercross. Villopoto seemed unstoppable in St. Louis. In the main event, Ryan got a great start and came around the first turn in third. By the third lap, Villopoto had taken command of the lead and never looked back. He gapped the field and took the checkered flag to earn his fifth win of the season. Villopoto currently sits atop of the leaderboard with a 13-point lead. “That was my first win in St. Louis and it felt great,” said Villopoto. “I haven’t had the best luck here in the past so tonight really meant a lot to me. I got good starts all night and found good lines on the track. I’m looking forward to Daytona, it’s always been good to me. I’ve won there the last two years so hopefully I can make it a three-peat.” Next week, the Monster Energy AMA Supercross heads to the famed Daytona Motor Speedway in Florida.
