St. Louis Mo., (31 marzo 2024) Eli Tomac di Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing ha ottenuto la sua prima vittoria della stagione, e la prima da quando è tornato dall’infortunio al tendine d’Achille del 2023, con punteggi di gara 1-1-1 al St. Louis Triple Crown Supercross. Con la vittoria al Round 12, Tomac è diventato il sesto pilota diverso a vincere in questa stagione altamente competitiva.
Cooper Webb di Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing ha guadagnato il secondo posto assoluto con (5-6-2) la gara termina all’interno del The Dome presso l’America’s Center. Con il traguardo Webb ha conquistato il titolo Triple Crown di campionato nel campionato 3-Round.
Nel formato di gara che combina i piazzamenti di tre gare separate, Hunter Lawrence del Team Honda HRC ha guadagnato il suo primo podio in carriera nella Classe 450SX con piazzamenti in gara (8-2-4). L’imprevedibilità del formato Triple Crown ha mostrato alcune nuove rughe a St. Louis con cinque piloti che hanno ottenuto posizioni agganciate in Gara 2 a causa di infrazioni con la bandiera della croce rossa.
Inoltre, il grosso incidente in Gara 3, quando Jett Lawrence del Team Honda HRC è stato distrutto, ha causato un grande cambiamento nella classifica a punti. Cooper Webb ora segue Jett Lawrence di soli otto punti. Nella classe 250SX della regione occidentale, Levi Kitchen di Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki è stato quasi perfetto per tutta la notte; ha ottenuto la vittoria assoluta con 1-1-1 vittorie in gara.
