Chad Reed Takes Easy Win at A2, Ryan Dungey wins Lites -ozzy go-

With defending Supercross champion James Stewart on the
sidelines, Chad Reed took an easy win at Anaheim 2, topping
fellow Yamaha rider Josh Hill by an eight second margin at
round three of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross
Championship at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California.

Reed turned the fastest qualifying lap in timed practice earlier in
the day, and carried that momentum into the final where he led
all 20 laps of the main en route to his second win of the season.

“I felt awesome out here tonight, I think bringing the retro thing
back was a lot of fun,” said Reed. “We just put it in cruise
control and let the thing wind down. I think with James gone, it
made it kind of hard to focus but I’ve just got to put my head
down and keep it going.”

Suzuki’s Mike Alessi ran in second during the opening laps, but
gave way to the hard-charging Hill on lap four. Like Reed, Hill
also gapped the field and at one point even gained ground on
the leader.

Kevin Windham claimed his second podium in a row by putting
his Torco Racing Fuels Honda into third, while Alessi held on to
finish fourth ahead of Honda’s Ivan Tedesco.

In the Lites division, Suzuki’s Ryan Dungey stretched his lead in
the West standings by taking the win over Yamaha’s Broc Hepler.

"I was just trying to be consistent," Dungey said. "The track was
really choppy, and I made a couple of mistakes, but I just tried
to not make the same mistake twice. We are just doing our
program and trying to be as consistent as we can be."

Monster Kawasaki’s Austin Stroupe finished third ahead of Torco
Racing Fuel’s Dan Readon and Kawasaki’s Brett Metcalfe.

Meanwhile, Boost Mobile Yamaha’s Jason Lawrence stalled his
bike while running in third position and was eventually credited
with 21st place. read the complete story on cyclenews.com
