hampionship tensions must have risen with the altitude.
Welcome to Salt Lake City, Utah, where the Supercross
superstars wrapped up the first of two rounds at Rice-
Eccles Stadium. Just when we thought things were cooling off,
familiar faces and first-time winners remind us that anything can
happen under the lights. The air might be thin up here, but you
certainly don't want to hold your breath for this one.
Two new winners emerged at the penultimate round of the
2021 Supercross Championship. Marvin Musquin (Red Bull KTM)
nabbed his first win of the season (and the first since 2019) and
Japanese rising star Jo Shimoda (Monster Energy/Pro Circuit
Kawasaki) captured his first career victory in the 250SX main.
