Villopoto Returns to Podium in Jacksonville

After a couple rough weekends, Vans Monster Energy Kawasaki Rider Ryan Villopoto lands himself back on top of the podium with a hard earned first place in Jacksonville! Although, Villopoto didn't start the day off as planned. In the first practice of the day, Villopoto went off the track breaking a small bone in his left foot but decided it would be best to sit out the second practice to see how things felt just before the nights event to see if he would be able to race. He was able to dominate both heat races and the main event with his sixth victory of the season! Villopoto is looking forward to this weekends break in the schedule for a little R&R in his new Florida home.
