SX: Back-To-Back Disappointments For Villopoto
Just a couple weeks back Ryan Villopoto was in complete control of the Monster Energy Supercross title fight. No longer…

Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki's Dean Wilson showed his confidence was back at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Canada as he captured his second-career win and moved into second in the championship standings. Getting a boost from the 45,000 Canadian fans, Wilson worked his way into the lead with a smart and patient ride aboard his Kawasaki KX™250F. Teammate Blake Baggett came through the pack, starting in 14th on the first lap and eventually finishing in sixth. Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Ryan Villopoto overcame a crash, coming through the field to finish ninth. Fabien Izoird grabbed the holeshot, eventually finishing 13th on the rocky and technical track.
Another Win For Wilson
With plenty of family and friends in the stadium, Wilson put in an impressive ride for the fans. He started just outside the top-five and patiently worked his way to the front. Wilson took over the lead on the eighth lap and rode smart until the checkered flag.
“It was really great to win it for the fans here in Canada,” said Wilson. “This country will always hold a special place for me and it is awesome to get the win. I finally feel like I’m riding to my potential again. That’s all I can really hope for when I line up every weekend. I know I can win, but I was standing in my own way for a few rounds. I feel like I’m back.”
Working Through The Kinks
Wilson’s teammate Baggett overcame a tough start after getting pushed into the tuff blocks before the first turn. He recovered quickly and worked his way from almost last to finish just outside the top-five in sixth.
“It’s tough when you have to play catch-up right from the first lap,” said Baggett. “I did what I could to work quickly, but the track was pretty tough and I didn’t want to over-ride it. I know I can ride better than what I showed out there. Next week we go to Dallas and I have good memories from that race.”
