2012 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series, an FIM World Championship - Atlanta Recap, St. Louis Preview

Updated 6:31pm Pacfic Time. Last weekend was one of the best supercross races we have witnessed all season long. What's more - the excitement largely involved someone other than the "Big Four". Anytime a big name rider gets hurt, the question always comes up, ?Who will step in to take his place??

Last year that question was answered for Josh Grant?s vacated factory Honda when Cole Seely stepped in for a few 450 rounds on the East Coast to try his hand at some big bore riding. Seely had some decent rides but nothing too impressive. When Trey Canard got hurt at the Los Angeles Supercross this year, the question came up once again. Again it was a factory Honda, and again the answer to the riddle was Cole Seely. But this time the Lucas Oil/TLD/Honda Lites rider had something more on his side: experience and maturity.

When the gate dropped for the Supercross Main Event in Atlanta, it wasn?t James Stewart, Ryan Villopoto, or Ryan Dungey who jumped out to the lead. It was the number 34 of Seely. But that wasn?t the impressive part.

Videos - St. Louis Supercross 2012

Videos from the 2012 St. Louis Supercross are below. This first one is of Marvin Musquin talking about his riding the 350. KTM decided to bump two time World MX 2 Motocross Champion Marvin up to the premier Supercross class for a few East Coast rounds to see what he can do.

The second one is of race winner in the Supercross class, with his fifth win of the season, and the 2012 series points leader - Ryan Villopoto. He talks about St. Louis, and next week at Daytona.

Next, Mr. Kevin Windham - K-Dub is always a good interview!

And that one is followed by the 250 Lites East winner Justin 'Frank' Barcia! (Who also leads the East series points with a perfect 75 points.)
