The Monster Energy Supercross riders head to the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, this Saturday with a new rider sporting the red plate in the 450SX class.
Red Bull KTM’s Ryan Dungey now leads the points heading into the fourth round of the season following a hard crash for former points leader Ken Roczen last week at Anaheim, that will keep him off of his HRC Honda for several rounds. Justin Bogle is also out for the Phoenix Supercross following an incident last week.
As opposed to the opening three rounds, weather will not play a factor this week as the University of Phoenix features a domed stadium.
