AMP’D MOBILE WORLD SUPERCROSS - 4TH ROUND SAN FRANCISCO, CA - LITES WEST
29 January 2007 - KTM-Sportmotorcycles AG

After a somewhat rough weekend at Anaheim 2 everyone was looking for things to go a lot smoother in San Francisco.

The threat of rain had the first set of qualifying sessions cancelled, but when they finally pulled off the plastic the track looked great.

Heat one saw Josh Hansen once again suffer from the bad luck that has seemed to follow him this year. An early crash meant he would get a little extra track time during the LCQ, which he easily qualified out of by finishing second behind Josh Grant.

In heat two Martin Davalos grabbed the holeshot aboard his KTM 250 SX-F against a stacked field that included series points leader Ryan Villopoto. Davalos would eventually get passed by Villopoto, but would follow him to the checkered flag in second.

The main event started out great for Davalos as another amazing start had him battling for the second place early on. Having to go through the LCQ left Hansen with an undesirable gate pick that saw him complete the first lap in 20th place. Unfortunately, Davalos’s race was effectively over when Chris Gosselaar slid out in front of him and left him with no place to go. For Hansen the main event was all about passing people. By race end he moved all the way up to 8th place.
