The place to go for the nitty-gritty on the off-road scene
Perhaps the most interesting race of the weekend was in Houston (and it was one that I was at), where Honda rider Trey Canard got the first 450-class Supercross win of his career. It was a big one, too. And while the Oklahoma rider benefitted from a gnarly first-turn crash, which took James Stewart, Ryan Villopoto and Chad Reed out of the equation, Canard still had to deal with defending series champ Ryan Dungey (among others), who is starting to get things turned around in the Suzuki camp. Dungey moved in on Canard near the end of the race and made a pass for the lead when Canard made a bobble. Canard came back on Dungey, however, and made a bold move to retake the lead. Canard is one of the riders who is quickly moving up the Supercross order and I expect this to be the first of many wins on the year.
