Wow, what a weekend it was inside the Roger’s Centre at round 9 of the 2017 Monster Energy Supercross Series. The racing was incredible, the crowd was massive, and the fans were treated to some of the best rides we’ve seen all year. Whether it was Ryan Dungey’s come from behind to second, Chad Reed’s hard fought fourth place, or Cole Thompson’s 12th place finish in the 250SX East main event, it was definitely an unforgettable night. When it was all said and done, Eli Tomac and Zach Osborne took home the wins in their respective classes. With this big race being on Canadian soil, James Lissimore made the trek from BC to capture everything that went down in Toronto. Here are twelve of Lissimore’s best from Saturday night.
