The stretch run of the 2020 Monster Energy AMA Supercross season finally begins today in Salt Lake City.
Riders already have had a busy Sunday at empty Rice-Eccles Stadium with sight laps, practice and qualifying ahead of their racing events.
There hasn’t been a lot of first-person social media chatter from the riders, but we’ve seen some great images of them figuring out the track in the early sessions.

It’s race day! Day race so that means practice starts at 8am. Thank god for living in AZ where you have to be riding at 6am in summer time because it’s still 100 degrees out. It’s going to be weird with no fans, but hopefully everyone will be watching it on tv!
