SUPERCROSS US : CHAD REED CHAMPION, DUNGEY SORT VAINQUEUR DE LA CONFRONTATION EST/OUEST..!
LAS VEGAS (3 mai, 2008) –Chad REED du Team Yamaha San Manuel remporte le Championnat de Supercross américain ‘2008 devant 39 227 Fans au Sam Boyd Stadium plein à craquer.
Reed qui a déjà remporté le Titre en ‘2004 remporte dans la foulée la manche d’hier soir. Ryan DUNGEY du Team Rockstar Makita Suzuki remporte de son côté la confrontation est/ouest en Lites.
C’est Davi MILLSAPS qui ouvre le bal en claquant le holeshot dans la classe Supercross avec WINDHAM derrière Lui. REED part septième quant à Lui. Au troisième tour Windham passe Millsaps et securise sa tête de course. Reed fit alors son effort à travers le pack et passe Windham pour prendre la tête au treizième tour. À la troisème place on trouve Andrew Short (Honda Red Bull).
Chad REED : « Je me suis bougé cette année, j’ai reçu une nouvelle Moto et ça a rendu mon travail plus facile. Cela aura été une grande saison pour moi. C’est très spécial. C’était malheureux que James Stewart se blesse mais cela nous a donné une belle saison ».
Dans la confrontation Est/Ouest Dungey suivit Ryan Villopoto qui claquait le holeshot. Les deux Pilotes n’allaient alors plus se quitter jusqu’au dernier tour durant lequel Dungey qui gagna la confrontation de l’année dernière dépassa Villopoto et s’envola pour la victoire.
Ryan DUNGEY : « Remporter cette course deux années de suite est énorme pour moi. C’était une victoire très spéciale pour moi parce que je suis arrivé de derrière et je suis resté smart. J’ai perdu du temps pendant le début de la manche et j’ai retrouvé mon rythme au cours de celle-ci. »
Ryan VILLOPOTO : » Ce fût l’un de mes départs les plus rapides en Supercross, Ryan a vraiment bien roulé. J’ai commis quelques erreurs et il s’en est servi. »
