PrintGuns were loaded in every holster heading into Monster Energy Supercross round one in Anaheim. Yamaha had their star back on the scene with James Stewart on San Manuel Red Bull Yamaha, and a reloaded DNA Shred Stix Star Racing Lites team. Suzuki had the defending Monster Energy Supercross Champion in Ryan Dungey, new recruit Brett Metcalfe, and a reorganized Rockstar Lites effort. KTM had a completely redesigned program starring Roger DeCoster, Andrew Short, Mike Alessi, Ken Roczen and the all-new 350 SX-F. American Honda Racing had two new riders in Trey Canard and Josh Grant, and the GEICO-backed Lites team featured new guy Wil Hahn and SX rookie Eli Tomac to match up with veteran Kevin Windham. And Chad Reed had his own CRF450R ready to go.
So much anticipation for all of these brands, but by the end of the night, the Kawasaki boys had painted the town green.
Tedesco and Villopoto teamed up to lead every Anaheim lap in the Supercross main.

Kawasaki led every lap of the Supercross Class main, with Ivan Tedesco grabbing the holeshot on his privateer Dodge Motorsports Hart and Huntington KX, and Ryan Villopoto making a move for the number one spot on lap two—and never looking back.
The Lites show was even more impressive, with the Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki outfit grabbing both heat race wins and sweeping the main event podium with Josh Hansen, Broc Tickle and Tyla Rattray. The team led every lap of the Lites main.
At least Yamaha did have one thing to brag about: they grabbed both Supercross heat wins with Justin Brayton and Stewart. Otherwise, it was all green.
It’s just one race, but it sure was a good one for the Kawboys!
The Monster Pro Circuit Kawasaki team was the definition of domination in Anaheim.

There's no way JS7 is gonna let RV2 get away 2 times in a row. He probably went home and did nothing buts starts all week.
Not green this week!! All blue.
There are 5 guys that can reasonably pull off a win over 20 laps. Green only has a1/5th chance, best chance is Red with 2/5ths. If i were betting money, mine is on yellow.
Always bet on black. Bubbas got this under control.
brapppp,time for red
Is it just me or are alot of these articles on the web site becoming very short?
I'm seein orange in the lites. With red in the 450's. Blue is gonna be singing the blues.
whoever wins it is going to be epic!!! again and again.
Where is Jason Lawrence? Now.....I am glad he is gone. He was a blemish on the sport in every way possible. However, there was so much talk he would be riding for 2011 Supercross. Did the lawsuit with Monster and his agent put the stop to the money or is the pizza delivery business good these days for tips?
"So much anticipation for all of these brands, but by the end of the night, the Kawasaki boys had painted the town green." Technically if you are going to talk about Tedesco leading laps I guess the phrase should be 'painted the town green with a little black.' God, Tedesco's bike was freakin stupid looking. I didn't even know it was a Kawi until I saw his name scroll on the TV. Two of the most idiotic things in moto have to be all white plastic dirt bikes and all black plastic dirt bikes. Iâ
Go bubba!
All reds this weekend I bet!! 1. Seely 2. Decotis 3. Tomac 1. Canard 2. Windham 3. Reed ;)
If it weren't for Pro Circuit, there would never be a Kawasaki in the top 5 of any lites race. You're welcome Kawasaki, cheap b*stards. Orange & red are good bets for some new faces on the box.
