PROGRAMMING NOTE: Round 2 of the Monster Energy Supercross Championship from Phoenix, AZ will air LIVE on SPEED Saturday, January 14th at 9:30pm ET. #SXonSPEED
Troy Lee Designs/Lucas Oil/Honda’s Cole Seely had a lot to be excited about leaving Anaheim Saturday night, following an impressive ride to his third-career Supercross Lites Class victory
“I am definitely excited. It’s great to come out on top at a race that gets so much hype,” said Seely. “My main focus this year is consistency, as long as I stay consistent each week I think I can win the championship.”
Although Tyla Rattray finished second at the Anaheim opener, he views last weekend as a warm up. Rattray took the early lead in the main event and rode a consistent pace but is not content with anything short of a win.
“I’m really looking forward to this weekend,” said Tyla. “We shook the cobwebs out last weekend and will be on top of our game in Phoenix.”
Coming off his AMA 250cc Motocross title, Dean Wilson was heavily favored to win the opener. Wilson held third place for nearly the entire main event, until a last-lap mishap dropped him to sixth.
“Last week was not the result I was looking for at all,” said Wilson. “The team and I have worked hard all week, and I’m looking to come into Phoenix a different man.”
Long regarded as the top Supercross Lites Class team, Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki has won 35 of 71 races, earned 62 podiums and 68 top-five finishes since 2008. Since the eighth race of the 2010 season, they have managed to earn podium results at every stop.
For Rockstar Energy Suzuki, the night was bittersweet in the Supercross Lites Class. Although Martin Davalos celebrated an impressive win in his heat race, he experienced some issues during the main event and dropped out of the fray.
“Anaheim started off pretty good,” said Davalos. “I didn’t have the best qualifying time, but I was able to get out in front in my heat race and take the win. Unfortunately, we had a problem in the main event, and I wasn’t able to finish the race. It was a bummer for me and the entire team but we’ll put that behind us and look forward to Phoenix. We went to the test track first thing Monday morning and got everything figured out so I’m ready for Phoenix. I’m looking forward to it – it’s my birthday weekend and it’s time to turn things around and get it done. I’m going there positive and (prepared) to be as good as I can be, and try to get some results for the team.”
