Saint Louis seen from the sofa: the entire American supercross is presented to you from another angle with 3as racing specialist off road.With more than 300,000 references to the catalog, 3as necessarily has the room you need.
Saint Louis is the assurance in supercross to find one of the best lands of the season.And who says beautiful land says beautiful track, and sometimes even beautiful races.This time, the terrain may be basic, the deep ruts created carnage in the two categories, with some sacred crashs.We may have lost one more factory pilot with Dean Wilson, who opened our buttocks with his footrest and must undergo several operations.Kyle Peters, on the other hand, fractured two vertebrae (C5 and C6) but kept the mobility of all its members fortunately.
Repeat, Deano!
And finally, Marvin Musquin is the one who stops the series of five consecutive victories of Eli Tomac!To say that we had seen him coming would be exaggerated, even if his two podiums in a row should have alerted us.Additional proof that Marvin remains an extraordinary pilot of SX, a fortiori when his departure are there.On this track made technical by the ruts, MM25 has managed to thwart all the traps to offer a first victory this season, and with the way.2/1/2 on the three finals, nothing to say, it's great work!Casually, Marv ’is the best KTM pilot on the set and only points to 14 points from second place in the championship.The job made with David Vuillemin seems to be paying, proof that there is a life after Aldon Baker.Cheer !
Chase Sexton needed a problem without problem, after having taken more bread than a Sparring Partner by Mike Tyson in recent weeks.The young Honda driver did exactly what needed in Saint Louis by making the best start of the first race.Easy winner, he then did not succeed as good starts but showed enough speed to return to the podium.A good rebound, therefore, for this #23 fan of Michael Jordan.And this blue outfit, hum ...

Ambulance, is that a good situation?In Saint Louis, no doubt.
Speaking of blue, the victory series of our great blue shark Eli Tomac stops at five.Already not so bad!Author of bad departures in the first two races, it was quickly understood that Eli Tomac was not going to take reckless risks on a field of Saint Louis where the pilots jumped as on mines one after the other.Author of the Holeshot in the last, Et3 this time took advantage of the pure air to sign a quiet victory, barely worried by a musquin who thought above all to the general.In fact, Tomac leaves from Saint Louis with a little more gap on his direct pursuer Jason Anderson.And goes down gently towards its second SX title.
Definitely, he will have left on the way, points, Jason Anderson.With two more falls out of three finals, the Kawasaki driver, clearly among the fastest at each race, commits too many errors to hope to upset a metronome like Eli Tomac.This season remains a great step in the right direction compared to the previous ones, but it will still have a slight taste of mess ...
The hierarchy being more obvious at this stage of the season than the result of the first round of the presidential election, it is Justin Barcia that we find to close this Top Five.5/5/4, a little evening for Bambam, and not even a single little controversy or suicide attack to put in the tooth.JB51 still ignited the Essais crowd with a sequence of the genus Couillu.We will be satisfied with it.
Barcia is Going 3-3-4 in the first rhythm after the start @pulpmx if nobody has been yet peak.twitter.com/sj8f9kyuu9

Behind, we did not see much of what happened ... Justin Brayton has shown regularity (7/7/7 for 6th in general), Vince Friese went before as usual, and Brandon HartranftSigned a superb eighth place and Malcolm Stewart fell strong.Not much to report, this season stretching in length as a bad French comedy at the moment, with this countless number of factory pilot on the sofa, Cooper Webb being the latest.Before Wilson, we wanted to say ... What's more, we lost a full team, the ex-rocky Mountain ATV-MC/KTM/WPS.Renamed BBMX, the team apparently stopped paying everyone, pilots and mechanics.Sponsors would have come to recover live parts on the motorcycles, while the Boss Forrest Butler offered cash to the private private ones so that they roll on motorcycles ... Ubuesque situation for a team supposed to ride factory machines.In fact, Max ANTIE and Shane MCELRATH, who had to make their return, did not drive.MCELRATH announcing that he had failed his convenience protocol test.Hard to believe.These two more Joey Savatgy will have to pass a few blows for this summer ...
Category 250 Saint Louis
The first info on Saint Louis in the category fell before the race: no Cameron McAdoo, who was injured in the shoulder at Press Day… Mitch Payton must have rolled under a scale while crushing a black cat tailWith its wheel to combine so many seeds, year after year.
Finally !After eight years in the category, RJ Hampshire finally won his first victory on this triple Crown of Saint Louis, and in his own way: by putting some beautiful in passing!The generosity of this boy on the track equals that of Father Pierre, in another area.Impressive, in any case.5/16/7/4/3/1, RJ's performances since the start of the season are like his career: irregular ... but it is still pleasure to see him win one, with evilthat he gives himself (and is done, too).
Jett Lawrence had once again left to win, with two in two victories, when he dropped at the start of the last race, helped by poor Jace Owen left in the Whoops.The young Honda driver once again showed maturity while going up quietly, without getting upset, to take a fifth place which allows him to finish second from the general.Released from McAdoo's pressure in the championship, Jett has only to ensure this title, and that is what he does.The future is more smiling for the Australian.
Good starts and speed, Mitch Oldenburg has finally materialized its very correct start to the season with this podium.Which means that the two Pilots 250 of the Motoconcepts team are mounted on the box.Respect !
With her 4/4/3, Kyle Chisholm went very close to the… first podium of her career!The veteran has never succeeded in this feat, but it could well happen before the end of the season, now that he leaves well.To be continued…
Finally, a word on the superb last race by Phil Nicoletti, second!Pierce Brown spent a nightmarish evening by being cut the wires cut by the machine of Josh Varize.Rebelote in the next round, taken in a crash with another.Before leaving and leading the third, until it falls twice to finish sixth ... there are days like that.
Come on, we motivate ourselves for Atlanta next week, with the long -awaited east/west confrontation between Christian Craig, future Husqvarna driver in 450 next year, and Jett Lawrence, who could also make the big jump towards the queen category.It will have taken shorter!
