2022 ANAHEIM 2 SUPERCROSS PRE-RACE REPORT:
Round 4 of the 2022 Monster Energy Supercross season is up next and we’re headed back to Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California, for our second of three races there (Anaheim 3 is Rd. 6 on Feb. 12th). Coming into the Anaheim 2 Supercross it’s the Star Racing Yamaha boys, Eli Tomac and Christian Craig, who hold the red plates. Craig has a steady 6-point gap on Hunter Lawrence and 11-point gap on Michael Mosiman in the 250 West division while Eli Tomac has a mere 1-point lead on Chase Sexton and Cooper Webb who are tied for second. See below for this Saturday’s TV and online streaming schedule, the track map, current point standings and injured list.

450SX PODIUM SHUFFLE: 8-RIDERS CLAIM 9-SPOTS
The 450 Championship has already been ultra exciting. We’re three Rounds in and only Justin Barcia has two podiums (both third place), we’ve had three different points leaders and the current points leader, Eli Tomac, hasn’t even won a race yet. The top-8 in the 450SX point standings are only separated by 7-points, which means the chances of having a new points leader for Round 5 in Arizona are very high.

MICHAEL MOSIMAN: HOT OFF HIS FIRST 250SX MAIN EVENT WIN

JUSTIN COOPER | BROKEN FOOT
Justin Cooper stated: “Hey guys unfortunately I had a crash yesterday at the track. I got a little bit off line in a rhythm and didn’t get the lift for the next triple and cased it pretty hard which was fine. Almost had it saved and when I finally laid it down my foot got pinched under the footpeg. That being said it turns out i have broken and dislocated 4 metatarsals and have some fractures in the center of my foot as well. Will most likely get surgery early next week. Not the way I wanted to start the year off, everything has been going really good until this. This is called a Lisfranc injury and will probably put me off the bike for about 6 months. Tough pill to swallow but this is part of life and you have these obstacles. How you overcome these difficulties is what defines you. I’ll keep you guys updated once I know more, it’s all very fresh so just giving a quick update on what I know so far. I will be missing all of SX, hopefully will be good to go for MX”
COLT NICHOLS | INJURED ARMS
Colt Nichols posted via instagram: “It’s been a tough week, but I wanted to share a quick update with everyone. Unfortunately, my season was over before it started with my crash in the heat race last Saturday. I ended up breaking both arms and had surgery as well as a quick little skin graft to help with the burns on my back from when the bike landed on me. I should be heading home any day to begin the recovery process.
Life doesn’t always make sense, but we must get back up and keep going. Just like my championship post said last May — To Hell And Back — because I’ve overcome far too much to stop now. Appreciate all the messages and support more than you can imagine.”
