With just four rounds left in the 2011 Monster Energy AMA Supercross series, an FIM World Championship, the chase for the coveted #1 plate is heating up big time! With five riders that have viable shots at the premiere Supercross championship, the Supercross class is producing some of the most exciting racing in years. Not to be outdone, the 250 Lites class is becoming equally exciting with MonsterEnergy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki's Dean Wilson coming on strong the last couple of weeks and putting the pressure on Geico Honda's Justin Barcia.
Here are a few things to look for at Saturday nights St. Louis Supercross:
1. Blake Wharton Breakthrough?
Yes, I keep saying this. Geico Honda's Blake Wharton has shown that he has the speed to run up front and can get great starts. What he has yet to do is put together 15 consistent laps. He has found himself on the podium lately in spite of having a shoulder that needs surgery. This is the last week the East coast guys will line up until Vegas. Is this the week that Wharton can put it all together? Barcia and Wilson may have other ideas.
