2012 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series, an FIM World Championship - Phoenix Recap, Los Angeles Preview

Last Saturday in Phoenix, Arizona, the second round of 2012 Monster Energy Supercross invaded Chase Field. Round one winner Ryan Villopoto came into the weekend brimming with confidence and carried that into qualifying, as he came away with the fastest 450 lap time. But when it came time for racing, luck was not on the Monster Energy Kawasaki rider?s side. Crashes in both his heat and the main event made for a trying evening.

Instead, the good luck rested well within the orange camp, as Red Bull/KTM's Ryan Dungey captured his first win of the season. The victory also marks the Austrian manufacturer's first ever win in the premier class. And the good fortune did not stop there.

In Supercross Lites, while reigning 250 Class AMA Pro Motocross Champion, Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki's Dean Wilson, stomped off with his first win of the year, Dungey?s teammate, Marvin Musquin, came away with a second place finish. His best ever in his 'young' AMA Supercross career (although a two time World MX Champion). Wilson?s teammate, Tyla Rattray, had another impressive outing in Phoenix and finished with his second podium in two weeks with a third place finish. Add in the rest of the top three finishers of the Supercross Class, with Monster Energy Kawasaki?s Jake Weimer and Villopoto, and the entire podium was awash in orange and green.

But Villopoto?s result did not come easy. The defending champ got tangled up on the first lap in the treacherous sand section, and fell to dead last before the first lap was completed. But he got right back up and went on a tear, blazing the fastest lap time of the race along the way.

Lucas Oil / TLD / Honda's Supercross Rider Christian Craig to Undergo Wrist Surgery

Lucas Oil / TLD / Honda's Christian Craig will miss much of the remaining supercross series to repair a broken wrist. The scaphoid bone (navicular) in his left wrist was fractured at the Southwick Motocross National and he had surgery to screw the broken bone. Unfortunately, the bone never healed properly and he will have to have it corrected.
