Villopoto has a Monster Day'
By TMX Archives on 11th Mar 10
KAWASAKI'S Ryan Villopoto kept his Monster Energy AMA Supercross and FIM World Championship dreams alight with a win at the Daytona International Speedway. Meanwhile in the Supercross Lites, Christophe Pourcel made it a Kawasaki double with a win at round three of the East Coast series.
As the Main 450 class began, it was Ryan Villopoto who hit the front first. However the race was red-flagged before the end of the first lap following a heavy crash by Yamaha's Grant Langston after he clipped the top of a jump and went over the bars.
