2014 AMA Supercross - Las Vegas Results

Ryan Villopoto capped off his fourth-consecutive AMA Supercross championship with an impressive victory at the season finale at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas.

The Monster Energy Kawasaki rider clinched the title at last week’s New Jersey round so he didn’t have to prove anything in Vegas. But he did, leading all 20 laps and winning by nearly 14 seconds.

Villopoto’s teammate, Jake Weimer took the holeshot but the champion soon took over the lead. The Red Bull KTM duo of Ryan Dungey and Ken Roczen passed Weimer on the second lap but they had no shot at catching Villopoto, eventually settling for the second and third spots on the podium.

Yamaha rider Cooper Webb took the holeshot in the Western Regional 250 class and led for the first seven laps before being passed by Kawasaki’s Dean Wilson. Webb recovered the lead on the following lap, but Wilson went through again on the lap after that. He would hold on to the lead the rest of the race for the win.

Webb finished second ahead of Kawasaki’s Justin Hill. Incoming points leader Jason Anderson of Rockstar Energy KTM finished in sixth place, giving him enough to clinch the Western Regional championship ahead of Troy Lee Designs Honda’s Cole Seely who finished just off the podium in fourth.

The Eastern Regional championship was all-but officially decided going into the Vegas finale. Geico Honda’s Justin Bogle entered Nevada with a 17-point lead over Martin Davalos, but the Kawasaki rider, along with teammates Adam Cianciarulo and Blake Baggett (third and fourth overall in the championship,) were all out with various injuries, leaving little championship drama for the final race.

Bogle took the holeshot and led for the first five laps before being passed by Yamaha rider Jeremy Martin. Martin would lead the rest of the 15-lap race for his first career win. Bogle finished second while Geico Honda’s Matt Bisceglia captured a career-best third place.
