This Week in Monster Energy Supercross: Round 6 in Arlington, TX

450SX Class

  • On the Way Up: Over the past two weeks Eli Tomac has posted back-to-back wins, rose his season finishing average two positions, and has climbed from fifth to second in the championship standings.
  • On a Mission: Tomac’s triumphant effort in Oakland saw him pass seven riders en route to the front of the field after starting eighth. That’s the most since Jason Anderson passed six riders to claim his first career 450SX Class win at the Anaheim opener last season.
  • Out of the Norm: Ryan Dungey led 16 laps in Oakland, but was forced to settle for second place. It’s the most laps he’s led without winning since Detroit last season when he led 18 laps and crossed the finish line first, only to later be penalized two positions.
  • It’s All About Consistency: Dungey’s class-leading starting and finishing average, which are both more than two full positions better than his closest competitors, have allowed him to be the only rider with a podium result at each round, resulting in a 17-point lead.
  • A Day to Remember: Rookie Cooper Webb showcased his potential in Oakland, posting the fastest lap of qualifying, winning his first Heat Race, and earning his first podium result. He jumped from 10th to 7th in the 450SX Class standings.
  • Breaking New Ground: Under the new timed Main Event format the 450SX Class is averaging 21.6 laps per race and has failed to break the old 20-lap mark just once this season, at the Anaheim opener.

Western Regional 250SX Class

  • On a Roll: Justin Hill became the first Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki rider since Christophe Pourcel and Jake Weimer during the 2010 season to win three consecutive Main Events. He also took over control of the championship with his Oakland win.
  • Resilient Rides: Despite losing hold of the red number plate, early points leader Shane McElrath remains the only rider in the division to finish on the podium at every race thus far. He’s had to transfer into the Main Event through the LCQ each of the past two weeks.
  • A Tight Title Fight: Hill and McElrath are separated by just one point in the championship standings, and both riders now share the best finishing average in the division at 2.0. While McElrath has been statistically more consistent, Hill’s extra win has given him a slight edge.
  • Fueling the Excitement: The 250SX Class is averaging 16.4 laps per Main Event under the new timed format, failing to surpass the old 15-lap mark just once at the opening round. It has provided added drama in the closing laps at virtually every round.
