The Sports Syndicate's Ryan Villopoto claimed his third straight win in Indianapolis by overcoming a slow start then cautiously making his way into the lead and has extended his overall championship lead to 54 points. By the end of the night, Villopoto led only five laps en route to his sixth win of the season. “The track was really difficult tonight,” said Villopoto. “It was so slippery you had to go slow, to go fast. If you tried to be too aggressive you would cost yourself time. I knew I had the training and endurance to last so I settled on my pace and moved up for the win.” The dirt in Indianapolis was surprisingly slick inside the stadium, wreaking havoc throughout the night. For Villopoto, his move through the pack showed the patience of a champion. As the Washington native gauged the track he knew that trying to go too fast would lead to slower lap times. “This was our toughest track of the year,” said Villopoto. “Every time I tried to push hard to make up time, I ended up going slower. When I settled into a smooth rhythm I was able to hit my marks and put in better lap times.” Monster Energy AMA Supercross heads to Toronto, Ontario, Canada for the only round outside of the U.S. at the Rogers Centre on March 24, 2012. Look for Villopoto to further extend his overall championship points lead.
