The new year of supercross kicked off in Anaheim with a huge surprise in the Supercross class.   While there are plenty of very talented riders, two riders expected to be on top ended up missing in the main even as Josh Grant DNS after struggling through the evening with injuries and Chad Reed pulling out after damaging his front wheel on the start.  Ryan Dungey made a huge statement in his opening race in the premier class, leading 17 laps before James Stewart caught him and passed for the lead.  On the final lap, Dungey made a last ditch attempt at the win, battling with Stewart but making a mistake late in the lap exiting a corner and ending up second at the finish.
