MONSTER ENERGY CHAMPIONSHIPS ROUND 4

Press Release – 2021 Monster Energy Guam Motocross Championships Round 4 

Round 4 of the 10 round 2021 Monster Energy Guam Motocross Championships was held this past Sunday at the Guam International Raceway in Yigo with covid19 safety protocols being maintained. Racing kicked off at 11:30am after a full morning of warm up practices that began at 8am. Classes ranged from several sized kids minibike and ATV classes along with a women’s minibike class up to the larger fuller sized machines of the 250, 450, Open and Over 40 Vet classes. 

An Open Novice Motorcycle class for those riders who are newer to the sport of motocross was created during the round 3 event and was a huge success and will be on the event schedule for the remaining championship rounds . The track conditions were muddy early on this past Sunday with deep thick mudholes being quite tricky to negotiate.

Along with the sloppy course there are the built up jumps that infest the nearly one and a half mile long course that also added to the challenge and excitement of the event. Special thankyou for the round four safety volunteers from NMCB4 also better known as the Seabees who supported our racers safety during the event. Thankyou for your service!

Highlights and results

After four rounds now completed the #1 plated machine of Lil Jon Aguon just refuses to stop winning. From the start of heat one of two the undefeated Lil Jon Aguon aboard the Cycles Plus Kawasaki took the lead and dominated the field. Battling for second were #7 JR Cepeda on his Yamaha and team Cycles Plus Kawasaki rider #85 Blaze Aiken. The two fought it out for second before Aiken went down in a crash. Aiken was able to reenter the race but was never a factor in the heat after his spill. Aguon took the heat win with Cepeda in second.

Heat two once again saw Lil Jon Aguon dominate the lead with Cepeda and Aiken fighting it out for second. The front runners put on a show as the course conditions had greatly improved from the early morning now allowing for huge launching jumps and bar to bar elbow bumping racing. At the finish it was Lil Jon Aguon aboard the Cycles Plus Kawasaki with the sweep keeping him undefeated in 2021 Monster Energy Guam Motocross Championship racing.
