2023 ANAHEIM 2 SUPERCROSS RESULTS

Supercross returned to Anaheim Stadium for round three of the 2023 season this weekend. Eli Tomac has been unstoppable in the 450 class, just like Jett Lawrence in the 250 class, but both saw a reversal of fortune. This was the first round using the Triple Crown format, which has three main events in each class. For Tomac it was a combination of mediocre starts and a bad crash that took his chances of a third straight win away, while Chase Sexton would go 1-5-1 to take his second career Supercross win. In Jett Lawrence’s case, crashes in races one and two were his undoing. Levi Kitchen, on the other hand, had a consistent night to collect his first career win with a 3-2-2 score.

As the race developed, Sexton and Roczen pulled away while Adam Cianciarulo held on the third as long as he could. Eventually Cianciarulo dropped back a few positions while Tomac worked his way up to third, where he would finish. There was a little last lap drama between Jason Anderson and Cooper Webb. Webb ended up with the short end and dropped it, to finished seventh.
