RJ Says: Supercross 2011

Rick Johnson is a seven time AMA Motocross and Supercross Champion. These are his thoughts on the upcoming 2011 AMA / FIM Supercross Series.

Depending on how healthy riders stay during the season, Supercross 2011 could be an incredibly awesome year.

Of course, we all say that every year, but this year could be something special - if most stay healthy.

As I go down a list of riders, my top pick is defending AMA Supercross Champion Ryan Dungey.

Do I think Ryan will dominate Supercross the way he did outdoor MX in 2010? No, but after watching Ryan over the past few years, and especially at the MX of Nations in Italy in 2009, I've seen his confidence go up and up. Each time out, he gets a little faster, a little stronger, and smarter.

AMA Motocross Round 5 Lakewood, Colorado Preview

The 2011 AMA National Motocross Championship series heads to Thunder Valley MX in Lakewood Colorado for Round 5 this coming Saturday, June 25.

There are three championship battles that will be racing on Saturday - the 450 Motocross class, the 250 MX Lites class, and the Women's class.

In the Motocross class, two-time AMA Supercross Champion Chad Reed, riding the number 22 Honda, is making it look easy, as he's won three of the four rounds to date. He leads Supercross Champion Ryan Villopoto, and current AMA Motocross class Champion Ryan Dungey in the point standings.

In the 250 MX Lites class, former MX2 World Motocross Champion Tyla Rattray, riding the number 28 Kawasaki, is leading the series over teammates Dean Wilson and Blake Baggett.

In the Women's class, it seems to be a two way battle between the current and former champion - Jessica Patterson and Ashley Fiolek.

Photos, results, and points from the 450 and 250 men's classes will be here.
