World Supercross - 2nd round Phoenix
By TMX Archives on 14th Jan 07
Round two of the AMA Supercross series in Phoenix, Arizona started out with a bang as both Factory KTM riders Josh Hansen and Martin Davalos easily qualified for the main event straight out of their heat races.
In fact, the only scare of the day happened during timed qualifying when after setting some fast times and blitzing through the whoops arguably faster than anyone else in the class Josh went down hard. Luckily he was able to continue and set the fifth-fastest time.
You couldn't ask for a better start to the Supercross Lites main event with Martin Davalos and his KTM 250SXF with the holeshot and teammate Josh Hansen right in tow. A few small mistakes caused Davalos to slip back right away, but he would later regain his composure and finish just inside the top ten. Hansen used his good start to battle for a spot on the podium but a small mistake in the second whoop section left him with a sore left wrist that almost cost him any points as he considered pulling out of the race. Instead, he soldiered home for a fifth.
