Ryan Villopoto is heading to his fourth consecutive SX. After a difficult race last week due to illness, he got things back in order in Seattle. He took the holeshot and held the lead for 20 laps in his home race. He had hoped to win the title here, but he will have to wait another week for that. Stewart finished second and Dungey was third on the podium. With two races left, Villopoto now has a comfortable lead of 2 points. Normally, he will be able to cash in on the title in two weeks in East Rutherford.
With the Lites, Cole Seely tries to keep things exciting until Las Vegas. In this penultimate competition for the West Coast class, Seely won ahead of Anderson and Justin Hill. Dean Wilson tried to displace Seely from the lead in the early stages but made a mistake. He eventually finished fourth. Anderson now has a 7 point lead over Seely with 1 match to go.
Next week there will be a weekend of rest for the SX riders before entering the final 2 races.
