THO AMA 125cc Eastern Region Supercross Series wish I got a better start, but you got to deal with what you got dealt!" Rounding out the St. Louis podium was Red Bull KTM's Josh Hansen. "Lil Hanny" rode in second, behind Langston, for much of the race until Millsaps closed in and made a beautiful outside-inside pass on the Californian for second. Hansen then settled in and finished strong, which has him in third in the points standings, I a points behind Millsaps. "They just beat me straight up, Hansen said. "I'm just looking forward and taking baby steps. I won the heat, and that was good after going to the LCQ two weeks in a row. I just need to get all the points I can get." Last week's second-place finisher, Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/ Kawasaki's Matt Walker, had a day that he would rather forget at St. Louis. In his heat race, Walker fell and was landed on by Robbie Horton, resulting in a cut on his thumb that required stitches after the race. In the final, Walker went down twice. "I went to seat-bounce a jump, and my hand just fell off the bars and I crashed," a visibly upset Walker said. The Georgian dropped from third to fifth in the standings. eN EDWARD JONES DOME ST.
