Cianciarulo Dominates Super Mini Class

CORONA,Calif. (October 16, 2011) –Saturday night’s Monster Energy Cup, from Las Vegas’ Sam Boyd Stadium, served as the ultimate showcase of the motocross world, featuring the fastest riders on the planet, in addition to the future stars of the sport. The Super Mini class was hyped as a head-to-head showdown between amateur juggernaut Adam Cianciarulo and Cooper Webb, a talented up-and-comer in his own right. Following a pair of motos to determine a winner, Cianciarulo left little doubt in proving that he is the world’s fastest Super Mini rider.

Cianciarulo kicked off the night with the holeshot and dominant victory on the hybrid supercross and motocross track aboard his Monster Energy Kawasaki Team Green machine. Cianciarulo had posted the fastest practice lap earlier in the day, and looked to mesh perfectly with the unique nature of the track.

With a win to his credit in Moto 1, all Cianciarulo had to do in Moto 2 was get a good start, and replicate his previous effort. After another holeshot, Cianciarulo was off to the races. While Webb tried valiantly to keep his rival honest, Cianciarulo was dialed in, and began to extend his lead lap-by-lap.

Cianciarulo claimed the big win with perfect 1-1 moto scores, to cap off an incredible year for the young rider, who signed a long-term deal with Kawasaki earlier this season to remain one of Monster Energy’s brightest future prospects for many years to come.
