Over the course of the past two months, the 2018 Rockstar Energy Triple Crown SXTour has visited both Montreal, QC and Delaware, ON for the series’ opening two rounds. In these races, fans have watched series favourites Cole Thompson, Colton Facciotti and Matt Goerke all battle for race wins. As the riders get ready for Round 3 this weekend in Quebec City, Cole Thompson holds a six point lead in the SXTour 450 class, and an eleven point lead for the overall Triple Crown Series. To celebrate the first two rounds of this first ever SXTour series, we take a look back at some James Lissimore photos from Montreal and Delaware.
Cole Thompson has been on a roll indoors all season long. He now leads the Triple Crown Series by 11 points.
Indoors in 2018, Facciotti has been very fast and with two rounds remaining he sits in second overall.
Unfortunately Kaven Benoit’s night didn’t last very long in Montreal as a heat race crash gave him a thumb injury. Soon after this race Benoit announced his retirement from pro motocross.
After a decent summer outdoors, Matt Goerke has been the fastest rider in the opening rounds of the SXTour. Maybe this weekend in QC he’ll be able to steal a victory?
Getting a good start indoors is a must if you want to get on the podium. So far Jess Pettis has been the king of starts in the 250 class.
Newly signed OTSFF Yamaha rider Phil Nicoletti should be very good this weekend in Quebec City as he gets more and more comfortable on his new Yamaha.
Inside the Big O’ the track was tight and technical for the opening round of the 2018 Rockstar Energy Triple Crown SXTour.
Fans in Montreal were excited to see Malcolm Stewart ride off with a dominating win in the 450 class.
