The 2013 Monster Energy AMA Supercross made its return visit to Anaheim Angel Stadium in front of a crowd of 37,789 fans. The Sports Syndicate's Ryan Villopoto emerged victorious for the first time this season. Villopoto came out of the first corner in sixth but quickly began to make his move forward. On Lap 4, Villopoto made the pass on the leader, for second and set his sights on first. Villopoto positioned himself to make a pass for the lead and made an aggressive move on Lap 5 just before the finish line. Once out front, Villopoto logged fast, consistent laps to open up a healthy lead and win by nearly seven seconds. “The season didn’t start like we wanted it to,” said Villopoto, “I had a decent race in Phoenix and the team made good changes to the bike this week. We’ve finally got the ball going in the right direction and are digging ourselves out of the hole. Once I got into the lead, I was just trying to click of the laps and keep it consistent. The track was really slippery tonight, but I still tried to keep the pace up.” Monster Energy Supercross will continue on January 26, in Oakland, CA.
