Supercross Chat By motomom | Wed Feb 21, 2007 at 04:09:28 PM EST Anaheim III was another win for James Stewart.  He is the first rider ever to sweep all three Anaheim rounds in the premier class.  The race was exciting because Chad Reed never let #7 out of his sight for 20 laps.  Cycle News reported that "The two put on a great show in front of a near capacity crowd at Angel Stadium, the last Anaheim Supercross of "07, with Reed even chasing down and passing Stewart for the lead at one point."  They said in the report that Stewart tried pulling away, but didn't.  His gap over Reed never grew much more than three seconds.  Reed was making up time in a rhythm section where Stewart said, "He was doing this double-triple thing - I did it in practice and I never did it again. I was kind of wondering where he was making up the time, and they told me at the end of the race that's where it was happening."

MDK/Xyience Honda's Nick Wey grabbed the $1500 Progressive Direct Holeshot Award by a nose.  The final results for the top 10 were: James Stewart, Chad Reed, Tim Ferry, Nick Wey, Michael Byrne, Nathan Ramsey, Kevin Windam, Heath Voss, Paul Carpenter and Ivan Tedesco.  

The title of the article covering the Lites West Series was "Gone in 60 Seconds", of course, describing Ryan Villopoto.  He also swept all three Anaheim rounds in the Lites class.  The report said, "Villopoto's performance has been impressive, setting lap times that rival James Stewart."  

There was some speculation about whether Villopoto would ride any of the East Coast rounds on a 450.  "No, no Supercross on a 450," he said.  "But, I will, hopefully, try to ride one and just feel it out and see how they are."
