Hat Trick for Villopoto

Last weekend at the Spring Creek AMA National, Ryan Villopoto won his third consecutive AMA Outdoor National Lites title. Villopoto left no question as to who should be champion; in winning nearly every moto this year, his points lead was so vast that he secured the championship with two rounds still remaining.

Since then, he has continued to build momentum year after year, and has, in the minds of most people in the sport, moved past the competition and into a league of his own.
Fortunately for his fellow Lites riders, Villopoto will make the move to the premier class or MX class in 2009. There he will face off with another multi-time Lites champion, James Stewart. That will be one of the most anticipated matchups in years.
