Al Lamb's Dallas Honda, San Diego Round 6 Supercross 2015

Racing to the end of the horizon for bagging the victory home

Team Honda has successfully clinched an astonishing performance at the sixth round of Super-cross series. Amongst the riders, Trey Canard seemed to be the most impressive as he clinched top spot at all three of the 450SX main event’s 20 laps. In San Diego, the Oklahoman sowed a performance of excellent race craft. The winner had to come from the front and at the first turn, in spite of having a mediocre leap from the entrance which eventually gifted a lead to sustain against the constant challenges from Ken Roczen. At the second heat, Cole Seely clinched the top spot. On the other hand, Eli Tomac of GEICO Honda bagged the top position, marking the red riders as unstoppable, on the first heat race. However, in the main event, Tomac and Seely stood sixth and fifth respectively.

 

Triumph of Canard was actually his second victory of the season, while his first victory came at the fourth round at Oakland. Honda CRF 450Rs successfully reached the top in 50% of the races for the season so far – thanks to the 2nd round win of Tomac in Phoenix.

The Focal Point: How HRC Worlds Fight

Before the San Diego super cross kicks off, rally racers of HRC Joan Barreda and Jeremias Israel paid a reverent visit at the test track of HRC Honda team at Corona, California. On the other hand, the Spaniard and the Chilean enjoyed vacation at California, ahead of the Dakar Rally, which will be organized in the month of January. They also met Israel and Anaheim too. They were found busy in the campaign of AMA Motocross. The charm of the San Diego is always added by the race, but apart from that also there are a lot of things that one could get addicted to in the city. The races are highly enjoyed almost everywhere in the region from bar tool conversations to small teen age commotions of the soccer field. People follow all the match updates on the social networking sites.

 

At the testing of the track, Trey Canard and Eli Tomac have been spotted to have spent time discussing on the disciplines they follow on the track with Barreda. The tracks that are building for the races are after cutting the mountains. That is why, the terrene is found to be with many ups and down and many twists and turns. That in fact makes the race interesting and the rider’s heroes. But however, to understand the nature of the riders and the entire functioning of this kind of adventurous race, one has to read the books that describe in detail all the in and out tantrums and glory of such races. There is also a huge amount of money invested in the making of the races and a lot of money also flows around these events in relation to the riders, their outcomes in the race and the general flowing of the races.
