Monster Energy Supercross Tickets on Sale Today plus Triple Crown, 250SX Class Regions and East/West Showdown Races Announced.
The racing for the 2021 Monster Energy Supercross season is shaping up to be one for the books. While that sentiment is shared before every season, the mixture of new teams, new faces, old faces on new teams and a return to familiar places is a welcome change to the upcoming season.
The 17-race schedule returns to its traditional weekend routing format as the series visits 15 cities spread across 13 states including California, Colorado, Massachusetts, Michigan and Washington.
The Storylines
Three Supercross champions will be competing for another title – 2x champion Cooper Webb, 2020 champion Eli Tomac and 2018 champion Jason Anderson as both a domestic and international “who’s who” list of competitors vie for their first title – Ken Roczen (Germany), Marvin Musquin (France), Dylan Ferrandis (France), Adam Cianciarulo, Justin Barcia, Aaron Plessinger, Malcolm Stewart and Chase Sexton, all from America.
For Tomac and Anderson, the drive for the season title begins with new teams and the hurdles that come along with change.
For Webb, his week in and week out consistency on the Red Bull KTM should afford him the early season advantage while everyone else finds their rhythm.
And of course, with the return to Anaheim for the opening race, we should all just expect Try Lee Designs Red Bull Gas Gas rider Justin Barcia to take the win. It’s an A1 tradition unlike any other.
