For the seventh time this season, The Sports Syndicate’s Ryan Villopoto took the checkered flag, increasing his lead in the 450SX Class Championship while also extending his current winning streak to four races. Villopoto claimed the Nuclear Cowboyz Holeshot Award, but momentarily lost the lead shortly thereafter. On lap 3, Villopoto moved into second and set his sights on Millsaps out front. On Lap 11 just after the finish, Villopoto slipped inside Millsaps and was able to take over the position. Once out front, Villopoto pulled away for his 31st career 450SX Class victory and became the first rider to win back-to-back races in Toronto. “It was unbelievable,” exclaimed Villopoto. “Davi is riding really well and he was riding exceptionally well. I got around him with about halfway to go and I was able to get a little bit of a gap. Everybody up here is unbelievable and it shows how fast we really are when we run a pace like that on a track that was so difficult.” Villopoto now carries a 12-point lead going into the 13th race of the season. Monster Energy Supercross will return to action on Saturday, April 6, from Houston’s Reliant Stadium.
