As Supercross first wins go, you couldn’t get a much more impressive one than what Justin Barcia turned in at Chase Field in Phoenix this weekend in the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series. After all, the Muscle Milk Honda rider led every lap of his heat race and every lap of the main event en route to a four-second victory over defending series champ Ryan Villopoto. The Muscle Milk Honda rider established his dominance from the get-go, pulling away from the field after grabbing the holeshot on the treacherous and hard-to-pass-on course. And while riders like Ryan Villopoto and Trey Canard struggled with the slippery conditions (both riders went down at one point in the main event), Barcia was steady and smooth–and fast! Only Villopoto turned in a faster time during the main event than Bam Bam. For more info on the event–and the low-down on what really happened–click here to get the scoop from Dirt Rider magazine.
