Steel City Happenings: Stroupe & New Rookies -ozzy go- amamotocross.com

Stroupe Scores
In his first AMA Pro race new Monster Energy Pro Circuit
Kawasaki rider Austin Stroupe takes the first moto holeshot and
finished the moto in second! He crashed near the beginning of
moto two and rounded lap one in about last place, but eventually
worked his way to finish the second moto in 12th – for fourth
overall!

First Race Jitters?
Although it was not “officially” stated, the way I understand it,
Austin Stroupe was the rider that caused Monster Energy Pro
Circuit Kawasaki teammates Ryan Villopoto and Ben Townley to
go down at the start of moto one.

Izzi’s On It!
Another rookie who was also very impressive at Steel City as
Makita Suzuki’s Nico Izzi scored fifth overall. Earlier in the
weekend he told me he wanted a top eight; so I’m sure that he’s
smiling now!

Tenth for Trey
Third AMA Pro rookie Trey Canard took his Sobe Samsung No
Fear Honda to tenth overall. Canard was also involved in the first
turn crash in moto one that derailed Villopoto and Townley. But in
moto two he earned a hard fought fifth place finish – much of the
race he battled with Nico Izzi, until he took control just after the
mid-point.
