When it was time for the Supercross 450 Class to take the track the rain was back for another shower watering the dirt making for a slippery technical track. Once the gate dropped, Ryan Villopoto had his work cut out for him as he had a bad jump out of the gate to make matters worse Villopoto was not able to avoid a first turn crash and found himself on the ground while scrambling to get back on his motorcycle he noticed that points leader Ryan Dungey was also mixed up in this crash. Villopoto had the motivation that he needed to get back into the race and earn some very valuable points over Dungey as Villopoto was able to remount his motorcycle first and resume racing, once Villopoto was able to get into his groove his next job was to work his way to the front of the pack. Once the checkered flag was pulled Villopoto was able to cross the finish line in 4th place only leaving him 10 points out of the series top spot.

First Win Of The Season For Ryan Villopoto

Villopoto brought some heat to San Francisco and topped the podium with his first win for the season! Once the gate dropped in the 450 Supercross Class RV found himself in 7th place after a few laps Villopoto was able to make some moves and found himself right behind fellow Northwest rider Josh Hill. Hill wasn't about to give up without a fight with some aggressive moves back and fourth, Ryan was finally able to make a pass stick and charge forward on the hunt for Dungey. Rookie Rider Ryan Dungey felt the pressure of Villopoto heading his direction and made a huge mistake cross cutting the same triple that he crashed on in his heat race. Dungey was ejected from his Factory Suzuki but with amazement was able to get up in a full sprint to remount his bike and continue riding in the lead. Villopoto soon took the lead away from Dungey to take the top spot on the podium!

Lites Rider Josh Hansen blasted out of the gate for the main event just missing the "Holeshot" award after the first turn. Hansen found himself pushed off the track with no way to get back into the track and was forced to ride his motorcycle down to the end of the track to find a opening to re-enter in last place. Hanny was able to cross the finish line in 7th place.
Jake Weimer was able to maintain second position once the first lap was done but made a couple small mistakes letting leader Trey Canard build some ground on the Lites class. Once Weimer settled back into race mode he was able to maintain his second place position all the way to the podium. Weimer maintains the Lites points lead with a 19 point lead over second place Trey Canard for the West Coast Lites Title!
