Monster Energy Kawasaki's Ryan Villopoto once again landed on the podium after a good battle in the Supercross Main. Villopoto has been putting his non-human skills on display every week, and this race was no different as he put on a good charge the entire race, posted the fastest lap of the night, and finished with a solid third. There have been four different winners in four races in this class - making for some stiff competition.
