In his first race back, Ryan Villopoto was impressive. A dominating win in the first race and his path to another million was cut short by a second race smack to the head, and he opted not to line up for the final outing.

Part of the fun this weekend was spotting the new goods for next year. Eli Tomac was running this Shoei that was just added to their online store.
