A 65 percent chance of rain is forecast for Round 3 of the Monster Energy Supercross season at Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego, California but with clear skies leading into the Saturday, this will be an entirely different track from San Francisco.
Still, the wildcard of weather looms large over the field as they determine if there will be a third unique winner of the Main.
Eli Tomac won this race last year and hopes to capitalize on the momentum created by last week’s podium finish while Chase Sexton and Aaron Plessinger work to keep top-five streaks alive.
Jordon Smith has been the most consistent rider of the 250 West division with Levi Kitchen following close behind. Meanwhile, Jo Shimoda is still looking to get his season started after a much-ballyhooed move to Honda.
