Story by Pete Peterson

Round 4 of the 2024 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship brought the season’s first Triple Crown event to Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California. The Triple Crowd trades the qualifying structure for three 12-minute Races. Scores from each race combine to determine the night’s overall winner.

In Race #1, Red Bull KTM’s Chase Sexton got into the lead from the start and took off. In the first rhythm lane Team Honda HRC’s Jett Lawrence crashed and ran-out of the incident; his body never hit the ground but he found himself far behind the pack. Sexton took the win with Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Cooper Webb finishing second and Progressive Insurance ECSTAR Suzuki’s Ken Roczen earning third. In Race #2 Troy Lee Designs Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Jorge Prado got the Holeshot but Webb took over the lead before the second corner. Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Jason Anderson let it hang out with his loose style, took over the lead, and carried it to the win. Webb held onto second and Jett Lawrence worked his way up from a bad start to grab third. Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Eli Tomac led the pack from the start of Race #3. Anderson went down on the opening lap then accelerated alongside the track to resume the race from last place; he would later be penalized one position for the rule infraction. Tomac gapped the field while Sexton, Red Bull KTM’s Aaron Plessinger, and Lawrence battled for position. Lawrence got as far as second before crashing back to fourth on the last lap. In the overall results Webb took the victory with (2-2-5) race finishes, Tomac earned second overall with a (5-7-1) and Plessinger followed up last weekend’s win with a third place via (6-4-3) race finishes.

Cooper Webb

Cooper Webb – First Place (2-2-5) – 450SX Class

David Bailey’s insights: “I like that Webb is returned to that form that he had at the end of his 250 career and when he was really doing well on the 450s. He’s had good seasons but he’s got that look [again] in these [2024] rounds. He was going for second at Anaheim 1. He knows that he might have even closed the gap on Jett; he beat him in the heat. So he was strong there. San Francisco, it’s a little bit hard to judge from that; but he had some mud in San Diego and he looked really strong. And he looked again really strong [at A2]. I believe that he believes and when you get a Webb that’s that skilled and that fundamentally sound, that believes and has won before – man, he is a contender, big time.”

Eli Tomac – Second Place (5-7-1) – 450SX Class

Eli Tomac – Second Place (5-7-1) – 450SX Class

David Bailey’s insights: “I was watching a piece of footage, I think it was just from a fan or somebody that was at press day [for A2], and instantly – I wasn’t looking for it, I didn’t expect anything, I was just watching to see what I could see, and immediately he stood out as just throwing the bike around like it was a 125. Back to that, ‘Hey, this is fun, and I got way more under the hood than you guys have seen so far.’ And starting to feel it. That’s what I saw. Then I heard Ricky say that [same thing] toward the end of the broadcast, and his results showed. So sometimes you see in a rider that extra little bit of body English that they put into things when they’re comfortable; he looked like that on Friday and it just carried right through. Starts, of course, are tough, and [the top riders are] going to get stuck [in the back this year]. When he was battling Sexton in the second race, I remember thinking they were probably in fourth and fifth, but they were in about twelfth. So to have that kind of depth, and to be coming back from an injury – where I think a lot of us thought, ‘Gosh, if he never comes back from that…’ ‘He went out on top and he’s got nothing to prove,’ and ‘That’s a major thing to come back from. Is he even motivated at this age?’ Well, he answered that this weekend. So he’s there just as strong as Webb, if not stronger, because he’s been ‘the guy’ more recently. So those two guys, feeding off each other, even if they’re not sharing information – it would be like me and Johnson back in ’86. We didn’t share a lot of information, but I knew if he was fast, I’d better be fast, and vice versa. So those two, I think, are going to be real tough to scoot out of the way for the rest of the guys.”

Aaron Plessinger

Aaron Plessinger – Third Place (6-4-3) – 450SX Class

David Bailey’s insights: “There was an outdoor moto, maybe two years ago now, at Southwick. It was the second moto specifically. And all the sudden I became a believer looking at the way he handled that rough track – what he wheelied over, the speed and the way that he rode, I thought, ‘Man, there’s something there that I never noticed before.’ And it’s kind of been a little bit un-noticed until last year in Detroit, which is this [upcoming] weekend, when he almost won. And it was like, ‘Okay, everyone has a foul-up here and there but we could see that that was his race to win.’ And that’s where they’re going, and he has the red plate. So to me, those couple of mud races maybe helped him, I don’t know exactly why; but I think he was fast already, he showed that at A1. There’s always a lot of guys, but then after a few rounds there’s three of four really serious guys that you would put money on to win the championship. I would’ve bet on Tomac and Sexton and Webb and I would add Lawrence to that, but now I’m adding Plessinger to that. He looks like one of those guys. And I think he’s comfortable with it. He doesn’t care how old he is, he doesn’t care about anything other than, “Hey, man, I’m here, and I’m not going anywhere.” And I love that little interview I saw of him saying, “I’m here,” and he just laughed like, “I don’t know what else to say.” And his results proved it. He’s also got some really cool body English. He keeps really good forward momentum through obstacles, which is something that Jeremy made popular. He’s doing something similar, and got my eye, and he’s heading to some place [Detroit] that probably feels like, ‘Man, let me prove I should’ve won this thing last year.’ If he did that, wow, then you add him to that big four, you’ve got five real contenders.”

Jason Anderson

Jason Anderson – Fourth Place (4-1-8) – 450SX Class

David Bailey’s insights: “Well, when I saw him upshifting down the side [of the track after his first lap crash] I was like, ‘Nah, that’s probably going to come back [to bite him]’ So I’m not saying he shouldn’t have gotten that [penalty], I just – it drives me a little bit nuts. Not in that exact scenario, because it was right off the bat, and it’s wasn’t like he gained a lot, but he did hurry back up to the tail end and help himself. So a slap on the hand might have been a better thing in that particular case. But either way, he showed that whether it’s some rookie firing him up and he comes out a little more serious, or if it was just time and [he had] a dry race – he’s won before. He knows how to win a championship.”

450 race start

The 450SX Class has seen four different winners so far in the first four rounds

David Bailey’s insights: I think all these guys that I just mentioned… I don’t think anybody else outside of that can penetrate that with a championship vote from me. Those six guys – the other guys are great. They may win some, but these six that we’ve talked about so far, [for 2024 are] like, ‘Let me get one more,’ or like in Jett’s case, ‘Let me get one.’ They all have this correct motivation, as far as I’m concerned. Tomac, ‘Hey, man, let me just pick up where I left off. Why not?’ And he kinda is. He’s just as good as he was before as far as I’m concerned. Webb, ‘Hey, man, I’ve done this before, I’m going to do it again before it’s too late.’ Sexton, ‘Let me prove that I could’ve won. I was the guy, and I’m not running this number one because it was, you know, [good] fortune. I’m that good.’ And Jett is obvious. These guys all have the ability, the experience, and the urgency. So from a fan and somebody who used to race and knows what’s going through your mind when you’re on the gate and on the left of you there’s four fast guys, and just to your right are two more, you’re like, “Ah! I have to get the start!” It’s fantastic to see these guys healthy. And I’m not too big on [them being] all chummy after the race and too friendly, but I do appreciate that they stop for a sec, ‘Hey, good job.’ Because: four races, four different winners, they’re happy for each other. But in that helmet, man, it’s going to start getting heated.”

Ken Roczen

Ken Roczen – Seventh Place (3-6-10) – 450SX Class

David Bailey’s insights: “He is unbelievable. If you ask who’s the most talented rider out there, of anybody, I’d say it’s kinda of a tie between him and things that Jett does and things that Tomac does. He’s amazing, but it’s like he walked under a ladder or something. Just nothing is going his way. Sometimes you kind of put yourself in those positions. You don’t mean to, but you just sort of end up there, you know? Like, weird stuff always happens to you. So if he could somehow get out from underneath that little cloud, then he would’ve been a contender [at A2] for the podium for sure. And he will be again. There’s two more of those [Triple Crown] rounds, which seem to benefit him. He won all three of those races once. He’s really good at that, and he just didn’t get a chance to shine. Then say with, for example, Malcolm Stewart. It’s just, like, ‘Oh no, why is he in last?’ And it’s tough to do much from there with, let’s just say four or five extra [championship level] guys this year that you’ve got to pass to get to the front. It makes it really tough for a guy like Tomac or Sexton, when they have a mess-up in the early part of the race, or anywhere, to try to recover. Now you’ve got to pass, you know, three guys, and two of ‘em are former champions. I think that all these guys are kind of licking their chops thinking, ‘If I just am consistent, I ought to be able to be there at the end.’ But I’m pretty sure they’re all thinking that way. As a fan, it’s excellent. I was talking to my dad this morning, he goes, ‘Man it reminds me of the early ‘80s when you were racing and there were so many guys that could win, and did win.’ We’re back to that, you know? Each year, they’re like, ‘Hey, it’s stacked…’ but not really. This year is it, and what a treat.”

450SX Class racers prepare to launch off the starting gate at Anaheim 2

David Bailey’s insights: “I went to San Diego [two weekends ago]. I haven’t been in a while and I thought it would be good to see one live and get a sense. And what I felt, and I mean I felt it, was behind the starting line [in the stadium] for the 450 heats… when that 30 second board goes up and it’s kinda getting down to [where] it’s going to go sideways pretty soon, for those heats and especially the main, oh, you could just feel like, ‘These guys are good. And there’s a bunch of them. And anything can happen.’ Like, if Ferrandis won one of those motos last night, ‘I’m not surprised.’ If Stewart won one, ‘I’m not surprised.’ If Barcia won one, ‘I’m not surprised.’ And that’s not even the favorites. So yeah, it’s really cool to see this.

Triumph Motorcycles will enter the SuperMotocross World Championship at the start of the 2024 season, with the single-minded ambition and commitment to develop a championship-winning team.

Triumph consulted Global Off-Road Ambassador Ricky Carmichael to achieve the vision. With the input from the greatest Supercross and Motocross racer of all time, Triumph has assembled a veteran team of managers with championship winning experience to helm the all-new United States based Triumph factory race team. The US motocross program, operating under the all-new global Triumph Racing banner, will be led by Team Principal Bobby Hewitt and Team Manager Stephen ‘Scuba’ Westfall. The team will be located at a dedicated new state-of-the-art private race facility in the USA.

The new Triumph Racing Factory Team will field its all-new Triumph 250cc 4-stroke MX bikes in the 2024 SuperMotocross World Championship, which is comprised of the Monster Energy Supercross World Championship and the Pro Motocross Championship, with three season-ending SuperMotocross rounds. For the 2025 season, Triumph will additionally field its new 450cc bike in the SuperMotocross World Championship.

Further demonstrating the team’s commitment to success, Hewitt has recruited a pair of legendary engineers to develop the team’s motorcycles. AMA Hall of Fame inductee Dave Arnold joins the team as Lead Chassis Engineer and Dudley Cramond joins as Lead Powertrain Engineer, each bringing incredible technical experience and talent to the team. All members of the team have an enviable history of success at the Pro and top Amateur level, with a racing record that speaks for itself, and together with Triumph share the long-term vision and commitment to deliver the highest level of success in racing competition.

The US based Triumph Racing Team, along with the recently announced Triumph Racing team based in Europe created in partnership with Thierry Chizat-Suzzoni, will both collaborate with the Triumph Factory. The latter team will compete in the FIM Motocross World Championship, with entry into the 250cc MX2 class in 2024, and the 450cc MXGP class in 2025. Both teams will be backed by a dedicated in-house off-road design engineering department within Triumph Global Headquarters in Hinckley, UK. where all the brand’s research, design, engineering development and prototype builds are located. Engineering teams from the Triumph factory and both new race teams have been working closely together on enhancing chassis and engine performance through an intensive testing schedule underway in the USA, UK, and mainland Europe.

Both race teams have been working on joint testing of the new Triumph motocross bikes. They’re sharing key data and rider feedback on the specifications, performance characteristics, and components with the Factory engineering group responsible for the concept and development of the powertrains and chassis for the all-new MX and dual sport motorcycle range. The insights of this race development information are being fed directly into each model of new Triumph motocross range. Additional launch details of the new Triumph off-road range will be made public in the near future.

This new team competing in the SuperMotocross World Championship is a significant addition to the Triumph Racing worldwide portfolio. Triumph Racing, which is based at the Triumph Global Headquarters in Hinckley, UK also features Triumph as the exclusive engine raced in the FIM Moto2™ World Championship and includes Triumph powered teams competing in Supersport racing.

Further information about the Triumph Racing entry into the SuperMotocross World Championship, with the 250cc bike in 2024 and the 450cc bike in 2025, will be announced next year.

Nick Bloor – CEO, Triumph: “Following close on the heels of our recent announcement to enter the FIM Motocross World Championship in 2024, today’s launch of Triumph’s partnership with the incredibly talented team of Bobby and Scuba in the all-new SuperMotocross World Championship continues our journey to the top tier of off-road competition and racing. I have no doubt, knowing the experience and capability shared between our dedicated in-house design and engineering teams, and Bobby’s hand selected team of racing experts, that this partnership will make an indelible mark on the history of this incredible sport and Triumph’s illustrious brand.”

Bobby Hewitt – Team Principal, Triumph Racing, Supercross & Motocross: “I always knew I would eventually get back into racing but to be able to do it with an iconic brand like Triumph, and to be able to help build this US Triumph Racing team from the ground up is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Triumph Motorcycles have been a part of my family growing up and to have them now decide to enter into professional off-road racing is a tremendous opportunity for our sport and a testament to the growth of the motorcycle industry overall in America. I am also very fortunate to be able to work with Scuba (Steve Westfall) again and add the experience of Dave (Dave Arnold) and Dudley (Dudley Cramond) to our team. I am honored to be working alongside everyone at the factory in Hinckley and cannot wait to get back to the racetrack in 2024 with our new team and compete for an SMX World Championship!”

Ricky Carmichael – Global Off-Road Ambassador, Triumph: “It is great to take this next step in announcing our US Triumph Racing Team. Bobby’s success in our sport as a championship team owner speaks for itself. The team he has assembled is already working with the factory in Hinckley during these final stages of development. They are some of the best people to have worked in our paddock and this shows the level of commitment, across the board, in this effort to compete for the SMX World Championship. I look forward to working with Bobby and the entire team when we go racing in 2024.”

Jeremy Appleton – Global Racing Manager, Triumph: “Confirming Triumph’s entry into the SuperMotocross World Championship in 2024 here today is a huge step. Announcing Bobby Hewitt, as Team Principal for Triumph Racing to oversee Supercross and Motocross is a clear demonstration of the level of ambition we have in our approach to going racing at the pinnacle of dirt bike competition. Bobby and Steve ‘Scuba’ Westfall have proved that they know how to win and revealing Dave Arnold, an industry AMA Hall of Fame legend in chassis development and Dudley Cramond, with over 25 years of experience of building race winning engines brings the highest level of experience and expertise possible to Triumph. Ultimately, Triumph is focused on building a bike and a racing program to win and we believe this is the i have team to achieve that goal. The input that Ricky is having into the project is enormously valuable and our thanks are also due to Dave Prater and his team, Tim Cotter from MX Sports Pro Racing, Mike Pelletier and all at the American Motorcyclist Association for their welcome and all their help and support; we are looking forward to racing with them from January 2024.”

Dave Prater – Vice President, Supercross, Feld Motor Sports: “We are excited to have a manufacturer with the rich history and racing heritage Triumph has, invest in the SuperMotocross World Championship. Triumph has proven they can enter a new racing category with incredible success. They have recently redefined the Moto2 World Championship class with an amazing reliability record. We believe Triumph will quickly make a positive impact on the sport.”

Tim Cotter – Sr Director of MX Sports and MX Sports Pro Racing: “The announcement by Triumph Motorcycles, to return to the American motocross racing and sporting environment, marks one of the most exciting additions to these programs in the modern competition era. Triumph enjoys a prestigious position in the history of the sport of professional and amateur motorcycle competitions in the US, and this new announcement brings with it the deserved anticipation and high expectations of an excited American motorcycle racing community. It’s an honor for our company to welcome the return of Triumph Motorcycles and to look forward, with great anticipation, as they take on the world’s best riders and teams, on the best tracks, riding against the best assortment of motorcycle brands ever assembled in the history of our sport.”

Mike Pelletier – Director of Racing, American Motorcyclist Association: “It’s rare when a major manufacturer – especially one with such distinguished competition history over the decades – joins our sport’s premier racing series. I can’t tell you how excited I am – and the AMA is – to welcome Triumph to AMA Supercross, Pro Motocross and SuperMotocross for 2024. I’ve developed a great relationship with Triumph’s newly appointed Team Principal Bobby Hewitt and Team Manager Steve Westfall over the years, and it’s been a pleasure working with Triumph from the very beginning of its path to professional Supercross and Motocross. Triumph’s racing history is monumental, and we can’t wait to watch the newest chapter unfold during the 2024 season and beyond.”

The Monster Energy® Kawasaki race team is preparing to line up in January for the AMA Supercross Championship and AMA Pro Motocross Championship in 2022. Team Green™ Kawasaki graduate, 2019 AMA Motocross 250 Champion and Monster Energy Cup Champion Adam Cianciarulo will compete in his third year aboard the KX™450 with focus on the top step of the podium. Cianciarulo will be joined by 2018 AMA Supercross Champion Jason Anderson stacking Kawasaki with two championship contenders in 2022. In addition, Kawasaki welcomes Broc Tickle to the team as a testing and development team member.

“We have a very strong 2022 team roster,” said Kawasaki Racing Senior Manager, Dan Fahie. “We are pleased to welcome Jason to the team and to continue reaching for our shared goals with Adam as he steps into his third year of 450 racing. We have learned a lot about our KX450 and are in a good place heading into 2022 with the development of the motorcycle. It is a pleasure to be working with Broc again, he is a great rider and we believe he will be a great asset to our racing program.”

Anderson closed out his amateur racing career with Kawasaki Team Green, winning the AMA Horizon Award aboard a KX™250 before moving on to become a 250 Supercross West Champion. Well proven in his career, Anderson has five 250SX wins, seven 450SX wins and 53 combined 450 podium finishes to his name. Now reunited with Kawasaki, Anderson is prepared to repeat his former success and fight for premier class supremacy in both the AMA Supercross and AMA Pro Motocross Championships.

“It’s great to join the Monster Energy Kawasaki race team for 2022,” said Anderson. “I’m ready to start working with the team to have a successful run right out of the gate when we go racing in January. The bike is proven, and the many accolades of the team speak volumes to what we can achieve together. I’m looking forward to the good times ahead.”

Meanwhile, Cianciarulo hopes to see his record-setting amateur years with the Kawasaki Team Green race team and success underneath the Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki team awning reach a culmination in 2022 with his goal of championship contention in the upcoming year of premier class racing. Building from his AMA Pro Motocross Rookie of the Year honors that came along with second place in the 2020 450MX Pro Motocross standings, Cianciarulo led 51 laps during the 2021 season and secured three overall podiums. Cianciarulo now looks to capitalize on a full off-season of development with the team to claim the top step of the podium in 2022.

“I’m ready for the 2022 season,” said Cianciarulo. “I’ve had a lot of great experiences in my first two seasons with the team. We have made major strides together and are positioned to perform at our very best in this upcoming year of racing. I look forward to continuing to improve and reaching our goals together.”

The Monster Energy Kawasaki racing team will also welcome Tickle back to Team Green as an official testing and development team member for the 2022 season. A former 250 Supercross West Champion as a part of the Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/ Kawasaki team, Tickle has celebrated much success with Kawasaki and will now offer vital support to the Kawasaki racing effort.  

“I am really thankful for this opportunity with Kawasaki,” said Tickle. “I will be helping test the KX450 and provide the team with information and feedback that makes a positive impact on the track with Adam and Jason. It’s been an awesome start for me to be around a solid group of professionals all working towards the same goal. It’s also nice to be around a familiar group that I’ve worked with before and they’ve all been very welcoming.” 

The Monster Energy Kawasaki team is already hard at work preparing for the 2022 Monster Energy AMA Supercross season that is slated to begin in Anaheim, California on Saturday, January 8.

When you consider that 29-year-old Laura Fong Yee is an emergency room nurse, a former X-Games skating competitor and a two year motocross enthusiast it is hard to imagine her fighting a battle with being shy.
