This Is What It Looks Like To Put It All On The Line
The third round of the 2017 AMA Supercross series gets underway this weekend, as the riders and teams make their way back to Anaheim, California – site of the season-opening round of the series – for what’s better known as Anaheim 2. As we await the best Supercross riders in the world to line up this weekend, let’s go back and revisit the Geneva round of the 2016 European SX series.
Why? Because the battle between Malcolm Stewart and Justin Barcia on the last lap is one for the ages, and action like that is what we hope to see this weekend in Anaheim. Bar banging and close passes are all part of the fun, both for racers and spectators alike, and if Stewart’s onboard footage doesn’t get you excited, then you must be dead inside.

A lifelong gearhead who didn't fully immerse himself in motorcycles until his teenage years, Troy's interests have always been in technology, performance, and going fast. Naturally, racing was the perfect avenue to combine all three. Troy has been racing nearly as long as he's been riding and has competed at the AMA national level. He's also won multiple club races throughout the country, culminating in a Utah Sport Bike Association championship in 2011. He has been invited as a guest instructor for the Yamaha Champions Riding School, and when he's not out riding, he's either wrenching on bikes or watching MotoGP.

Good lap, and appears to be no hard feelings.
That looks like too much fun. Hard-fought battles on track are the stuff of life.
