Supercross At Anaheim 2: Results, Spoilers From Saturday Night

Defending AMA Monster Energy Supercross champ Ryan Villopoto made it 2-for-2 in Anaheim this season, picking up his second win of the year in a dominating ride on Saturday night.

Villopoto beat James Stewart – last week’s winner – by 4.8 seconds and became the first rider to win two events in 2012.

James Stewart passed Chad Reed roughly one-third of the way through Saturday night’s AMA Monster Energy Supercross race in Oakland, Calif., picking up the first win of the season with his new Joe Gibbs Racing team.

Stewart, who had struggled in the first two rounds of 2012 before rebounding with a podium finish last week, cruised to a 2.35-second victory over Reed.

AMA Supercross riders Trey Canard and Ryan Morais have a long road ahead of them in recovering from injuries sustained on the opening lap of Saturday night’s race at Dodger Stadium.

Canard has a broken back and will require surgery on Thursday, according to a tweet from his brother, Aaron.

Chad Reed won his first round of the 2012 AMA Monster Energy Supercross season on Saturday night, taking the Dodger Stadium main event by 2.9 seconds over Ryan Dungey.

James Stewart was a season-high third, edging Ryan Villopoto by .61 seconds.

So far, the 2012 AMA Monster Energy Supercross season has been good for dudes named Ryan. For that matter, so have the previous two seasons.

After defending series champion Ryan Villopoto opened his title defense with a win in Anaheim last week, Ryan Dungey captured Saturday night’s main event at Chase Field in Phoenix.

Defending AMA Monster Energy Supercross champion Ryan Villopoto got off to a fast start and never looked back in winning the first round of the 2012 season in Anaheim on Saturday night.

Villopoto, who also won last year’s season opener, pulled away to a 12.2-second victory as his championship rivals battled behind him.

Ryan Villopoto may have won last year’s AMA Monster Energy Supercross title, but many eyes tonight will be on James Stewart.

“Bubba” has a new ride this season atop a Joe Gibbs Racing Yamaha, and everyone is curious to see how Stewart will fare.
