Anaheim 2 - Windham Retires! Nothing Else Matters




So last week I rolled up to Dodgers Stadium in LA ready to get my teeth into some Monster girls (and by teeth I mean fingers!) and supercross. Only to be told that it had been moved to Anaheim as LA deemed themselves too cool for supercross. Fuckers! So I was forced to fly home and watch the broadcasts on my laptop in the snowy surrounds of London. Here's what happened:


250SX

Sipes and Davalos battle like ex lovers through their heat race, switching the lead several times. Neither fair as well in the main with The 'human dart' (see Phoenix post) taking 12th and Sipes being taken out early resulting in a DNF

Savatgy takes out half the field and himself on the first lap of the main. Way to go Rookie.

The To-minator (oh yeah, I'm stickin' with it) is Ridonkulously good! His move around the outside of Seely is so sick it shouldbe given the key to the city, a day named after it and a parade in its honour. Three races done, three races won for Tomac, like a boss!

Roczen has won three races this year, unfortunately they're only heat races. You need to step it up K-Roc to stop Tomac! What would John Connor do? Terminator reference, get it? You should.....dick.

Osbornes shoulder is still hurt but his results have been kissed better. 4th for Zachy Poo and a podium this week in Oakland. Tell your friends, that just happened!

Remember last year when Rattray was leading the points after the first few races? Yeah that's not happening in 2013. 8th for the former world champ.

After grabbing the Holeshot, Cole Seely gets passed by a robot and a German but holds on for 3rd. Apparently Cole used up all of his charisma in his riding as his podium interview is so bad that even Dungey would kick it to the curb.

450SX

KEVIN WINDHAM RETIRES!!! K-Dub rides one practice and then calls it a career. Supercross will never quite be the same. I understand if you don't read past this, I mean what's the point anymore. 


For the second week in a row Dungey gets caught in a tangle and goes down in his heat. His main event doesn't get much better as he gets a Larocco start and only scrapes a 6th.

Weimer holeshots and leads Canard for a lap or two before fading back to 5th. Expect a lot of 5ths from Weimer this year.

Over one of the triples, Barcia comes up shorter than a dwarf with no legs. He decides to blame his handle bar crossbar pad and gives it a swift head butt leaving the pad to tell its friends, "you should see the other bloke".

Millsaps is a new guy this year and I like it. Aggressive but smooth riding although doing his impression of a speedway rider causes Millsaps to go down and lose a podium position. The 18 is still leading the points chase though, but for how long?

Ryan Villopoto is back! The dude goes round corners as fast as a motherfucker! 1st win of the season and definitely won't be the last.

After announcing that he has a Torn ACL, James Stewart still comes out to race. Probably shouldn't  though, Stewie slides out and ends up in 12th. No TV time for JS7.

Reed is back on the podium and the smug look is back on his face.
