We all know how dangerous the sport of Supercross can be,
much like putting your life savings in a Cyprus bank account. Seriously though, none of us like to see our
heroes go down and Indianapolis looks to have ended the season for one of the
title favorites in the 250SX class; Dean Wilson. Preliminary reports indicated some rather
serious injuries but sounds like they’ve been revised although still
significant. Trey Canard also went down
and it’s been reported that he may not make the trip to Toronto this week. Our prayers, thoughts and hopes for a speedy
recovery are with you guys.
Making Supercross predictions is like playing the
lottery; your picks are made, then the anticipation followed by the agonizing
disappointment as your riders, one by one, finds their way out of the
race. I just wish I had the kind of luck
following Marvin Musquin at Indianapolis.
Of course winning a race takes unbelievable skill but luck doesn’t hurt
unless you ask Blake Wharton.
The 450 class brought the noise too! Stewart was well on his way to another win
until a small error that cost him the lead but nothing could have prepared us
for the battle of the Ryan’s. I was just
waiting for the Dungey pass that never came but it wasn’t for lack of trying. Dungey kept it close all the way to the
checkered flag but Villopoto would ultimately take the checkered flag. Millsaps had a difficult time and made it
worse in the last lap by laying it over as he watched Stewart cruise by.
The series moves to Canada this week and if this week is
anything like last, expect an exciting night of racing. I’m hoping Dungey can keep up the momentum
but it will be tough if Stewart rides mistake free and Villopoto seems to step
it up at exactly the right time. As for
the 250 class, Musquin is going to be hard to beat but Hahn will give it his
best shot. With Wilson out, there is
room for some of the other guys to gain some more attention e.g. Peters,
Martin, Bell, etc.
Napoleon Bonaparte once said “never interrupt your enemy
when he is making a mistake.” Ride smart
you guys and make your own luck; Toronto, here they come.
