ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Ryan Villopoto had a dominant effort to earn his third Supercross victory of the season on Saturday at Cowboys Stadium.
He led every lap of the main event.
Championship leader Davi Millsaps edged out Villopoto to get the holeshot award at the start of the 450SX Class Main Event, but a little more momentum helped Villopoto slip past his Rockstar Energy Racing-mounted rival just a few feet later.
Not long after, TwoTwo Motorsports Honda’s Chad Reed made an aggressive move to take second from Millsaps, which allowed Villopoto to open an early gap.
While Villopoto continued to pull away, the battle for the podium intensified. Millsaps retook second place on Lap 3 and settled into the position.
