A spotlight shines on the Monster Energy Supercross 250 East riders this week as they kick off their season in Round 5 at Ford Field in Detroit but there are plenty of storylines in the 450 division as well.
There have been four winners in the first four rounds with Aaron Plessinger showing the greatest consistency in the field. Detroit was the site of his biggest disappointment in 2023 but he returns triumphantly with the red plate for the second consecutive week.
And speaking of Triumph, this week will be that manufacturer’s much-anticipated debut with Jalek Swoll making the move over from Husqvarna and Evan Ferry debuting in the class.
