Round 9 of Monster Energy Supercross from Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, IN, produced not only one of the toughest tracks of the year, but also the fifth different winner in 450SX in Red Bull KTM's Ryan Dungey. Dungey's first win of the season moved him into second in points, 23 behind Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Ryan Villopoto.

In 250SX, Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Adam Cianciarulo took advantage of teammate Martin Davalos’ mistake, and overcame a mistake of his own, to become the first two-time winner in the class. Davalos would rebound to finish second, with GEICO Honda’s Justin Bogle rounding out the podium.

A tight first corner produced carnage in the main event, as points leader Ryan Villopoto along with Ken Roczen, James Stewart, Dean Wilson and others were left picking up the pieces after a first turn pileup.

Alessi was stubborn early, hold off the advances of Dungey. But Dungey was relentless, drag racing past Alessi and into the lead following the steep wall jump.

With Dungey out front, the championship aspirations of Ken Roczen took a giant hit. Following the first turn crash, Roczen had worked his way eleventh before another huge crash left him on the ground. Roczen tried to return, but was unable to finish. He finished the night 21st.

With Ryan Dungey walking away with his first win, Eli Tomac and Mike Alessi were left to battle for second. And for a while, it looked like Alessi was going to hold on for his first podium since 2009 until he cross rutted on the tough rhythm section before the triple and left second for Tomac.

Davalos would quickly shoot into the lead, with Cianciarulo tow. Davalos opened up a quick gap, but a costly mistake in a deep rut—than went down to the plywood—left Martin scrambling to regain the lead.

Cianciarulo took full advantage, until a costly mistake of his own let GEICO rookie Matt Bisceglia to close in. But Cianciarulo was able to use the quad to his advantage—the only 250 rider we saw hitting it—to open back up the lead, leading to his second win of the season. Bisceglia would eventually fall back to finish fourth—a career high for the rookie.
