PrintIt's all over from the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario Canada, and the riders most would have expected to win have done just that.
In the Lites class, Justin Barcia grabbed the early lead by received a challenge from Ken Roczen, and K-Roc took the lead. Barcia regrouped to make the pass back, get the spot, and pull away from there. Roczen held strong for second while Blake Wharton battled his way up to third, a solid follow up to his win last week.
In the SX class, Justin Brayton grabbed the holeshot, but Ryan Villopoto was not far back and rolled up on him for a challenge. RV made the move and tried to check out, but made a bobble and allowed Brayton to close back up. From there, Villopoto buckled down and pulled away to yet another win. Brayton took second. Perhaps the best battle was for third. Davi Millsaps had the spot early but yielded to Jake Weimer. But the man on the move was Kevin Windham, who picked off Millsaps for fourth and then went after Weimer. He eventually got there, making the pass for his first podium of the year. Weimer later went off the track, allowing Millsaps to steal fourth place.
With Barcia and Villopoto winning, it's back to normal in Monster Energy Supercross. Look for a full race report and photos later tonight.

Awesome race, glad to see Barcia back on top, he is clearly the fastest guy in the class.. Wharton rode good again, great job by him playing the National Anthem..LOL
And RV1 will seal this up in Houston, and start preparing for the Nationals.. He looked real fast tonite, as did Brayton.. Good to see K-Dub tough it out and get a podium spot. And a good ride by Millsaps tonite too. Bet JGR is glad they kept him around, he has been pretty decent for them..
Good ride for Millsaps?, He was going backwards.
Sounded like RV wanted to say if he wins Houston he is not even going to race the last couple races. Good for him - start getting ready for outdoors.
Glad we still have the east lites for some excitement. Was a good race but I think one day soon Barcia is going to get some payback from Roczen if you ask me. Impressed very much with Barcia, but how long can you ride dirty without it coming back in your face?
I think the lovely miss Bates wore that top just for Slash. Hubba hubba..
seasons sooooo boring now. 250's are fun to watch. but man the 450's are a snoozer. wish shorty was out there. i think he could at least make it interesting unlike the rest of those chumps.
SmartypantS, I totally agree. She was really showing off her assets tonight!
Dakota Tedder made the main and got 16th? Thats a good night for him. Whats up with Kyle Regal? Thought he would have done better. The rest is no surprise to be honest.
That was some good racing tonite. The lites class was fun to watch. The battle with Wharton, Durham and Martin was awesome while it lasted. Happy to see Bogle walk away from that mid air crash. The Geico squad is killin it so far this year. Also happy to see AJ make a main for Langston's team however Smith did not make it tonite!!! Wish Roczen had something for Bam Bam.
Listening to the injury list is sickening!!! Man, what a brutal list of damaged body parts!!! Is this the worst the list has been with top ten riders? Some riders are riding with injuries as well like Kdub and Brayton. Crazy!!!
And yes, we noticed Erin lookin good tonite as well!!!
I agree with klrman1, how long can you keep ridinig like that. I thought Marcia grew up, but I guess not. That little tap she gave Roczen was a lame pass. I too was giving Marcia credit for growing up, but that was lame. Now he is long looking forward to race Ryan, thats where he is going to get his ass handed to him. Good ride for all and great ride Brayton. I like the shots of Slash and Wharton. Good to see Kdud up on the podium.
RV can win win the championship next race.... He just needs to gain 6 points on James Stewart. This season is nowhere near as good as last year.
K-Dub's first podium of the year? What? Are we forgetting Daytona or does that race not count for some reason?
czmark, I was just going to make a post about that and you beat me to it!!!.. Bam Bam is going to get a rude awakening in the 450SX class if he starts t-boning or tapping the top riders. Just can't imagine RV, RD, CR, TC or JS letting it go without ramming him right of the track big time. The open class is another animal with a lot of tough guys up there. It's always fun watching Barcia race and he's right on the top of his game right now and doing deservedly well, but acting like a school yard bully will only work in the lites where no one fights back. Can't wait for next season lol.
450 race was great tonight, good to see Brayton fight RV and learning what it takes to stay up there, GREAT racing between Weimer, Milsaps,and KW, nevr know which of these 4 will pull second , can't wait for Houston. So tired of the wusses who whine about being bored !
@AGMAN.....RV1 earns about 100K per win. I seriously doubt if he will give this money up. He'll continue to race, and win, all the way to the end. He is a racer.
Dungey, Reed(?), Stewie, Canard.....lets get healthy, come back to the outdoors, and lets go racin' with Villopoto. I'm predicting a RV RD main battle with some serious contention on a few distinct tracks. With BT101 racing a full factory Honda, and all the support he will receive, will be an interesting intangible as he has serious speed. Personally, I don't think he has the speed / stamina to compete, but may become a spoiler on certain tracks.
Lookin' forward to an outstanding nationals, and, MXdN in Belgium (Lommel)
I fell asleep at lap 3 of the 450 race... I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Did not see one thing wrong with Barcias pass, great ride. Bogle needs to settle down and make better line choices and let the racing come to him. wish Wharton and Duram would have raced the track and not each other, they would have both passed KR
I agree DavidI I think Barcia hits a lot of guys when its not needed but, the pass on Roczen wasn't dirty, in fact I don't think he hit him on purpose. Hitting Roczen in that corner could have put Barcia on the ground just as easy as Roczen. Barcia has really smoothed out his technique this year and I would think that Stanton has played a big role in that. I still think Barcia will be lucky to get on the podium outdoors, and Roczen will be lucky to to get in the top 5. The one thing that may change that is the PC Kiwis have not looked as fast as they have in the past. The 250 outdoors should be some of the best racing we have ever seen, I'm hoping!
@Ripdown-hey did you make it to the race last night? Still want to help you out @ Spring Creek. Don't know why but I couldn't get through to you on your e-mail. Lets keep trying. Maybe I wrote it down wrong?
@DZ958--Yes RV1 can clinch to title, but it has nothing to do with Stewart, Dungey still has a 15 point lead on Stewie and is in 2nd place. So it is the difference between RV and Dungey not Stewie.
Glad to see some good racing in the 250 class, some good aggressive passing and nobody is crying about it. Wharton and Durham making alot of contact.
@czmark and some others crying about Barcia giving a baby tap to Roczen, get over it and quit crying ..Wharton did the same to Durham, and you never mentioned it. And Durham dropped another guy, and you never mantioned it. So you are just saying ONLY Barcia made contact, or is his pass the only one you had issues with?? Sounds hypocriticle to me..And BArcia hasnt made a "dirty" move all year. Stop crying or go take a seat in the girls locker room.
I was critical of Barcia moving over on Slash last week but I didnt see his move on Roczen as bad at all. Roczens move past Barcia after the first turn was AWESOME! Every once in a while we something cool and that was cool! I thought his throttle stuck or he wasnt planning on making the next turn!
Bogle again getting frustrated with riders around him when HE screws up. That act is wearing thin. Grow up please. If he were French you guys would be killing him.
I didnt think Speeds coverage could get worse.... I was wrong. I forget which lites heat it was but we saw the leader cross the line and then.... nothing. We follow around a lone KTM in 9th. I heard there was a good battle between Mookie (who was flat out smoking) and Roczen.
Oh, how about showing us the "pass of the race" on the 2nd lap, while we hear the roars of the crowd! Did Speed have to use Canadian union guys?
@bd200, not crying at all, just wanted to see a clean pass and am not hypocritical towards Bam Bam, just critical. Barcia has the the talent and could have made a clean pass on him, In fact I thought Justin rode one of his worst races this year, he was not fluid and almost on the edge. Yes I saw Wharton and Durham hitting it, but I also have higher expectations on of Barcia.
Oh ya, also the racing in the lites calss was great!
honest to goodness walking and talking fake breasts. ANd about as talented as you would expect silicon to be.
Hey Bucky.
Didn't make it down. My daughter had a playoff hockey game up north so I gave up my premium seats to my son and his friends. Wasn't too disappointed as there were so many top dogs out!
Try this address Bucky. Would be good to hook up some arrangements if possible. Thx

@xxktm--What the hell does your union Canadian guys comment even mean?? That crap you are talking about comes from producers of the show, not camera men, you are just a bigot and an idiot..
Ya bd200 I didn't get that one either!
Ripdown-will try that one. Should be no problem hooking you up. Glad to do it! Thinkin' maybe you want to stay in Lake City. On Lake Pepin and lots to do there. Good places to eat. Closer than Rochester, and less traffic. My thought but it's your trip. Rochester is where the riders stay, however will they be out and about? We will work on this. Plan on coming for sure!! I won't let you down. (probably better shopping in Roch. if you have the family along)
AGMAN, even if RV didn't want to race the last few SX races he is pretty much required to. They have sponsorship contracts to fullfill, etc so its not that easy for him just to sit out if he's healthy.
As far as Barcia's pass on Roczen, I didn't consider this one overly aggressive considering the turn it happened in. Although I consider Barcia to be over aggressive at times, in this instance the riders were cutting the turn sharp to line up for the next section. If you went in low the lines were going to intersect. He stuck his wheel in and they touched, it was aggressive but hardly a takeout move though.
