ROUND 12 | APRIL 4, 2026 THE DOME AT AMERICA'S CENTER | ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI SUPERCROSS I MONSTER ENERGY AMA SUPERCROSS / SUPERMOTOCROSS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP P54 in the championship standings and is now just five points be- hind the overall leaders, Hunter Lawrence and Eli Tomac, who are locked at the top. "I honestly still can't be - lieve it," Roczen said. "That track was absolutely brutal, and on top of that, it was just extremely busy. It was a brutal main event. Even when I had that gap, you just didn't want to make any silly mistakes that would allow them to get closer and make it tight at the end. I just can't believe I pulled off this back-to-back win. I just never stop believing. We've got the ball rolling." Justin Cooper matched his career-best result in second place. The Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha rider had a stellar night in St. Louis, starting off by winning his heat race. From there, he started fifth in the main event but looked spunky on the rutted track. Cooper battled with early leaders Hunter Lawrence and Jorge Prado but cleared both of the heavyweights en route to his best result of the year. This is Cooper's third second-place result and the was pretty good. We were P5 overall, but unfortunately, someone tagged me in the heat race, sending me to the LCQ. I did the best I could in the main event from the outside gate, fought through the field, and although I made a couple of little mistakes, we were able to salvage a sixth. It's not exactly what I want, so we'll be looking for more in Nashville." MYOWNRACE
