The perplexing 2022 AMA Monster Energy Supercross Championship Series continued to surprise at Petco Park in San Diego. Round 3 saw the top three riders score their first podiums of the year. Eli Tomac leaves the race with the red plate, having no wins and just one podium in three rounds.
Chase Sexton dominated the race, beating Tomac by over six seconds. Sexton’s first win catapults him from P9 in the series standings to P2, just one point behind Tomac. Justin Barcia came into San Diego with the red plate and left in P4, though just two points behind Tomac—yes, just two points separate the top four riders. Further down the standings, there are just seven points between the top eight riders. Three rounds in, no rider has been in the top five at all three races.
Incoming series leader Barcia suffered from a bad start and a tangle with Justin Bogle. Last week’s winner Jason Anderson’s motorcycle motor was steaming, dropping him to P9 from P2. Opening round winner Ken Roczen collided with Anderson on the flat left-hand turn exiting the whoops, sending Roczen to the ground. Roczen remounted to finish in P7. Dylan Ferrandis rebounded from a 16-6 season start to stand on the podium alongside Sexton and Tomac.
The next round is Anaheim 2. Check our Monster Energy Supercross series schedule and TV schedule for details. Wednesday we will have our RMFantasySX.com fantasy supercross tips for A2.
