Monster Energy Supercross Round 3 Anaheim 2, the first of the triple crown events and boy was it a good one! The track started off quite slick and you could tell this as riders, especially in the 450 class where the bikes have more power to put down, struggled and a few big pileups hit turn one. This really set back Anderson in his first main event as he was held up by a stack up with Reed and Stewart which pushed him back to seventh.
lets check out the highlights from both classes.

Well who would've thought it! Eli Tomac not only came back to racing but he ended up taking the overall! Anderson and Seely did their best to throw a spanner into his perfect come back but #3 rode a solid three races and took home the win.
Musquin and Wilson were riding for damage limitation all night and were both a shadow of their former selves. Musquin especially was almost absent from the races, such a shame as i think he is a real contender for the series this year after such a dominant off season...
Roczen also was very quiet on the track and i can only imagine what was going through his head as he rode around the track. It was this race last year that changed his life forever, the comeback has been phenomenal but you can't just switch your mind off at big milestones like these.
Let's check out the post race interviews.

Cianciarulo put in a solid shift in all three main events on Saturday, especially since he had a major crash in practice earlier in the day. I mean check out how knarley this was and consider that a very similar crash took out all three top seeds in the 450 class. Almost a complete copy...
