Phoenix Supercross 2013 Preview

This Saturday night, the Monster Energy Supercross Series will stage its second race of the AMA Supercross Phoenix Live Stream. That race will have a lot to live up to after all the storylines provided by the opening event in Anaheim last weekend.

Heading into Anaheim 1, most of the bench racing centered around the big fourRyan Villopoto, Chad Reed, James Stewart and Ryan Dungeyand which of them would set the pace at the opener. Sure, there was speculation about guys like Justin Barcia, Trey Canard, Kevin Windham or even someone like Jake Weimer getting into the mix, but at no point did I think or hear from anyone else that Davi Millsaps would leave Anaheim with the red plate. Nor do I think anyone had Canardwho has raced only a handful of times since round 14 of the 2011 SX series and has had two career-ending type of injuries sinceracing for wins this early in the year. It would be one thing if the big four all crashed in the first turn and Davi got the holeshot and checked out, but that is not what went down. What went down was a straight-up beat-down by the #18 and #41. So, does this mean the big four is now the big six, or was Anaheim 1 a fluke deal? That is the million dollar question as the series moves to round two.

After setting the fastest lap time in qualifying, Stewart dabbed his foot in a corner and tweaked his knee. At first, there was speculation that the two-time SX champ was going to sit out the night show at the opener, but the #7 toughed it out, qualified third out of his heat race and scored eighth place points in the main event. If there is nothing seriously torn in the knee and James can continue on in the 2013 season, that could go down as the ride of the year for the #7 who was visibly in pain. When it comes to whether something is torn and whether James will continue on, the tight-lipped Stewart camp has, as expected, not said a word. We expect we will see a tweet in the next couple of days, but if not, we will find out on Saturday like everyone else. One thing is for sure, if he is there, he will be a threat to win. James looked blazing fast on the Yoshimura Suzuki before hurting his knee.
