At the opening round of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross series held at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California, Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/KTM’s Shane McElrath kicked off the 250cc West class with start-to-finish win that had the 23-year-old North Carolina native looking like he had the class handled. Out of striking distance but not off the pace was Aaron Plessinger (Yamalube Star Racing Yamaha) and Adam Cianciarulo (Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki).
