LUCAS OIL PRO MOTOCROSS CHAMPIONSHIP
VOL. 51 ISSUE 21 MAY 28, 2014 P39
Briefly...
Rockstar Energy Team's Jason
Anderson (KTM) had a very good
day going before it ended in bit-
ter disappointment. After finishing
a strong third in the first 250 moto,
the recently crowned AMA 250 West
Supercross Champion was running
fourth with two laps to go when his
bike's motor gave up. His 3-DNF
gave him 10
th
overall and 28 points
on the day, so with 22 motos still left
on the schedule, he still is very much
in the hunt for the 250 title. Overall,
though, it wasn't a great start to the
season for the Rockstar Team. Joey
Savatgy missed Glen Helen with a
broken collarbone (but is expected
to be back next week at Hangtown)
and Davi Millsaps is still out until at
least the middle of June with a foot
injury.
A surprise no-show was SmartTop/
MotoConcepts' Mike Alessi. Alessi
was hoping to put in one good show-
ing on his home track before head-
ing to Canada for the summer for
next week's Canadian National MX
Series opener. Turns out, Alessi be-
came ill early Saturday morning and
spent the entire day at the hospital,
recovering from food poisoning,
which his team believes he got from
eating fish the night before.
Chad Reed returned to action for
the first time since his big crash early
in the Supercross Series. The Dis-
count Tire/TwoTwo Motorsports Ka-
wasaki Team rider/owner went 9- 10
for 10
th
overall and said afterward that
he was quite pleased with his perfor-
mance. "My goal was to be in the
top 10…don't make any mistakes, no
crashes," he said. "I'm just stoked to
be here and feel good on the bike.
My shoulder didn't hurt at all."
