After a season opener that delivered some stirring battles, flared tempers and a familiar ending, the Monster Energy Supercross circuit will head to Oakland for Round 2 (Saturday, 10 p.m. ET, USA).
Ken Roczen won the Jan. 8 season opener for the fourth time in Anaheim, besting defending series champion Cooper Webb. Justin Barcia finished third, followed by Mavin Musquin and Chase Sexton, Roczen’s Honda teammate who rebounded from two crashes.
Musquin also provided some fireworks after a dust-up with Malcolm Stewart led to a postrace altercation.
