The Monster Energy Supercross opening rounds often produce amazing winners as well as mediocre races. Generally, the track is domestic, with below-average drama and aggression. The first round of the track is usually planned to get the drivers involved in the series, and the drivers are fretful and tense usually. That was not the case this year. The track was rough, and the action was as intense as the mid-season round of the series. I saw everything tonight, accidents, difficult passes, serious injuries, and a lot of mobility. In contrast to the usual opening game, the winners were predictable. Ken Roczen frolicked at Anaheim 1 for the fourth time in his career, and Christian Craig won his first 250SX race of the season for the second year in a row.
In December, Kenny spoke about his fight against non-Covid disease and how it is affecting his off-season training schedule. Still, and with the pain behind him, he scored a lap goal and won the 2022 season opener race Anaheim 1 race title. Cooper Webb finished second by passing over Anderson, Sexton, and Barcia.
