AMA National Motocross Preview - Unadilla, New York - Round 9

You know the names: Villopoto, Dungey, Reed, Wilson, Rattray, Baggett. They are the cream of the crop in the 2011 AMA Pro MX Series. This week, the series heads to round nine at the world famous and historic racing circuit of Unadilla.

There is a ferocious battle in the 450 MX class between Ryan Villopoto (current Supercross Champion), Ryan Dungey (2010 Supercross Champion, defending Motocross Champion) and Chad Reed (two-time AMA Supercross Series Champion, 2009 AMA MX Champion). Just nine point separate these three riders coming into Unadilla, and it should be a battle right down to the wire when the series concludes next month at Pala Raceway in San Diego County.

In the 250 MX Lites Class, the Monster Energy /Pro Circuit / Kawasaki trio of Dean Wilson, Tyla Rattray and Blake Baggett have basically put all other competitors to shame - the PC trio is dominating, with Wilson on top of the points heading into Unadilla.

If you'd like to catch up on what's happening in the series, review the last event in Washougal to see current point standings and more.

And speaking of previous race, flashback to Unadilla 2010!

MX Adventures

A Supercross is usually filled with its share of dramatic moments. From the jump off the gate to those first turn pile ups, all the way to that finish and everything in between, the action at Supercross is always nonstop.

The 2010 Phoenix Supercross had more dramatic moments than your normal race. However it was in those days that followed that the drama grew with various opinions that were blasted across message boards and blogs. I certainly appreciated the hot topics brought to the surface by the many people who love the sport of Supercross. And like you I have my own thoughts on the James Stewart and Chad Reed 'incident' ...

It was just one year ago when a controversy made headlines with Jason Lawrence, Josh Hansen and Steve Boniface were 'fighting'.

The backlash for those guys were met by AMA officials. Last year the Rules stated that the following offense is subject to disciplinary action:

An attack on a Racing official and/or engaging in a fight. This includes any person who attacks or is involved in a fight anywhere on the premises prior to, during, or after an AMA Supercross meet. There will be no maximum fine or suspension period for this offense.

My point here is that Supercross is no stranger to its share of drama but in the aftermath of last year, and now Phoenix, what does it take to show some true sportsmanship and character in tough occupation?

James commented thru his blog initially. Info on Chad Reed came thru Kawasaki and Monster Energy Kawasaki Team Manager Mike Fisher stated that Chad would not return to racing until he is 100 percent. Chad is expected to miss a minimum of six weeks to heal his broken left hand. Six to seven weeks puts us near the Daytona Supercross and by then there will still be eight races left on the schedule.
