NATIONAL PREP AT FOX RACEWAY: VILLOPOTO, BARCIA, CIANCIARULO & MORE
2020 PRO MOTOCROSS NATIONAL PREP AT FOX RACEWAY: VILLOPOTO, BARCIA, CIANCIARULO & MORE
When it’s motocross season in Southern California and you show up to Fox Raceway (previously known as Pala) on a Tuesday or Glen Helen on a Thursday, you’re bound to see Pro National caliber riders putting laps in. MXA’s Josh Mosiman was out at Fox Raceway to test some parts on our 2020 Kawasaki KX450 and in between his own riding sessions, he grabbed his camera and snagged some photos to show our MXA readers to help hold us over until the 2020 Pro Motocross season starts up. Unfortunately, the original July dates of racing at Ironman MX and WW Ranch has been postponded and we don’t have any word on when the season will begin. It seems like everyone is in limbo right now, but the riders and teams aren’t twiddling their thumbs; they’re out training, testing and preparing so that whenever we get the green light to go racing, they’re ready. See below for photos of Adam Cianciarulo, Justin Barcia, Ryan Villopoto, Shane McElrath, Christian Craig and more from Fox Raceway.

He doesn’t have the stamina to stick with Barica for an entire moto, but it looked like he was keeping the pace just fine when he and Justin were battling.
