PRESS RELEASE – In compliance with the DPHSS 2022-06 guidance memo, Round 2 of 10 of the 2022 Monster Energy Guam Motocross Championships was held this past Sunday at the Guam International Raceway in Yigo.

Highlights and Results

In heat one of two in the Open Motorcycle, #7 JR Cepeda aboard a Yamaha continued his winning heat streak having led every lap unchallenged in heat one. Taking second was the team Cycles Plus Kawasaki rider and defending champ #1 Little Jon Aguon who rode strong despite suffering a rear tire flat. 

The start of heat two saw once again Cepeda out front but now being seriously challenged by the #1 of Aguon who had repaired his heat one flat during the break between heats. Midway into the 20-minute plus one lap heat Aguon let the dog loose and took the lead aboard his Kawasaki heading into a highspeed bowl turn. Cepeda tried to retaliate and take back the lead but Aguon was having none of it as he was able o fend off the charges of Cepeda to remain in the lead. At the checkers it was Aguon in first with Cepeda taking second. The rest of the field finished as follows:
