Last week, Ryan Dungey got his third Monster Energy Supercross win of 2015 in spectacular style on his flashy KTM 450 SX-F, in front of 54,000 eager crowd. Eli Tomac took some of the spoils on his promising second place display, his ever reliable Honda CRF450R seeing him through. Next up on the Supercross calendar is Indianapolis, and with Dungey on 199 points (25 points for a race day win) and Trey Canard hot on his heels, this Championship is far from done and dusted.
Now to some more news about a past legend of Supercross. As most of you may or may not already know, Ryan Villopoto and four year consecutive winner of the championship (2011-2014) chose to not enter the 2015 supercross season and instead entered MXGP motocross championship in Europe. At the moment it is not clear whether he will return to Supercross but I and many others think this could be his last season professionally. His contract with Kawasaki will also end this year and his trusted and fantastic factory Kawasaki KX450F will also follow him into retirement and beyond. On the brightside though, this current championship will soon get very interesting seeing as there is no dominant rider. A true legend of the sport and ending with 73 AMA race day wins, I'd say not a bad return for Villopoto and his team!
So, all eyes are on Daytona and the next race and the new look track which is running in a different direction to usual and some wider lanes to account for. It seems like next week could be quite an interesting and exciting one to watch.
