Irvine, Calif., (April 24, 2012) — Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Ryan Villopoto will not defend his AMA Motocross title in 2012 after injuring his knee at the Seattle supercross on Saturday night. The two-time AMA Supercross and defending AMA Motocross champion will undergo surgery on his knee this week.
“I’m pretty disappointed right now,” said Villopoto. “I have trained hard for this season and even though I won the supercross title, I really wanted to defend my outdoor championship. I’ve been through injury before and I know how hard I have to work to get back.”
Villopoto is coming off of a dominant 16 months where the Poulsbo, Wash. native earned two AMA Supercross titles on the strength of 15 wins, the AMA Motocross Championship with three wins and also the richest payday in supercross with a million dollar win at the Monster Energy Cup.
In this cover photo, Ryan Villopoto is being marked as the rider of the year in 2012. He had accomplished a lot this year and had been riding well which put him at the top of the game. He won every championship he competed for and even won all 3 races in the Monster Cup which helped him win a million dollar pay day. Villopoto is a legend on a dirt bike and has done very well with his career. This cover photo is of him gliding through the air on his Kawasaki KX450f, it is hard to follow most rules of composition when taking motocross photography but it is framed well and gets the point across with his red #1 number plate
