San Fran SX this weekend!

Saturday 30 January 2010

Well after just 3 rounds of the 2010 season, it is fair to say we are in a position nobody could of predicted. Chad Reed crashed out of the first round and then broke his hand in a clash with James Stewart at round 2. James Stewart has been completely overshadowed by former Lites Champion Ryan Dungey, who dominantly leads the series in what has to be the most succesful year ever in the Opens class for a first timer. Stewart has now recieved surgery on some kind of wrist injury and will miss the San Fran round of SX. Finally Aussie Dan Reardon, who off the back of a strong result in the Aussie SX series and came into the first round with great form and on a new team, whiskey throttled over a berm before the first race even started, leaving him with an injured shoulder and really bad concussion that is still lingering. We can't believe the way things have fallen so far, and although it leaves all of our previous hopes and excitement for the series dead in the water, it has surprisingly opened up a new side of the series, one that involves none of the former big guns and watches all of the up and comer guys battle it out for their chance at Supercross glory!

San Fransisco sees the Supercross series drop gates in less than 24 hours, and unfortunately the city has not prepared the best racing weather. It has been pouring rain non-stop and threatening the perfectly sculpted track. Organisers have the track well covered so hopefully the rain backs off and we see some great racing either way.

In Australia, there is no LIVE coverage at all of the event, except for live timing and scoring, which kind of seems like you are waiting for someone to morse code you the results, but if you are a true SX fan then you won't mind it. You can follow that HERE.

Or if you are online with either Facebook or Twitter, for more detailed results you can simply follow Unit pages HERE or HERE.

In regards to Unit athlete Dan Reardon's return, we were told his team would be making a decision today and hopefully we will see him on the track!
