Thanks to all the drama infused into previous rounds of Monster Energy Supercross--and Ryan Villopoto's ruthless handling of the best riders in the world--the 2014 SX finale was void of the typical championship tension. But this one counts like any other, and while the racing didn't offer up much action, the record book will show that what went down in Vegas will loom large in the history books.
The battle for the only title legitimately still up for grabs, in 250 SX West, kicked the night off (well, after the 450 heats) and the two title combatants, Cole Seely and Jason Anderson, both got terrible starts. The stage was set when Seely made a clean pass on Anderson on the first lap and they then began to race through the pack together.
