Canard surprises at the AMA Supercross in Jacksonville with KOs for Villopoto and Stewart

Rider Trey Canard has taken the win in the eleventh round of the AMA Supercross season held in Jacksonville, notching up his second victory in his racing career. Undoubtedly, the Honda rider seems to be getting the hang of his bike and the tracks.

Mike Alessi had taken the holeshot, so he led out front, being the first for the KTM rider. Shortly after the start we already had a scare, because the until now strong James Stewart had problems again and collided with another competitor, ending his race.

The leader, Ryan Villopoto, had also had problems, since he had a fairly hard crash in the first lap, returned to the track and suffered another fall, which meant he could not take part in the main event, so he was not among the best.

Up front, Canard led with Alessi second and Reed third. Then the Honda rider Reed passed his predecessor, and moved into second position, while leader Canard kept increasing his advantage over his pursuers Reed and Dungey.

In the remaining laps, Canard kept the gaps under control, responding clearly and overtaking anyone to maintain first position, where he finally held on to claim his second win of the season, followed by Reed and Dungey.

In the Lites class, the winner was Justin Barcia, who took the holeshot and, with no rivals throughout the race, dominated all 15 laps to claim his second win of the season, followed by Wilson and Sipes.
