PC Packs Podium

Motocross 338 or Southwick as it’s more often called by the MX public makes extreme demands of both man and machine. Those who find success there have the best built, most reliable motocross bikes and are themselves in peak physical condition. For this reason it makes sense that Team Pro Circuit took two of the three available podium spots.

 Ryan Villopoto “wrung out” his Pro Circuit Kawasaki 250F in the first moto as he battled back from a 20th place start. Pushing himself and his bike, Villopoto was able to catch and pass his teammate Brett Metcalfe who, benefitting from a good start and excellent conditioning was in first place when he was passed.
In the second moto, Villopoto grabbed the holeshot and as the saying goes, never looked back. Metcalfe, working the track and every line available, made it into third behind Ryan Dungey. Metcalfe was able to hold third for the remainder of the race and Villopoto maintained his lead for the win. Team Pro Circuit showcased their superior machinery and well-conditioned athletes by securing first and third overall in the race.
The final round of the AMA Outdoor Nationals is this coming weekend at Steel City.
