Five Things I Learned at the Los Angeles Supercross

Supercross season is now in full swing. As we look back at the last Saturday's inaugural supercross event at Dodger Stadium, we have learned a lot of things about those running out front, and those who are the also-rans. Both classes have provided tons of excitement and more than a little drama. Here is a look back at Saturday's Supercross and five things I learned:

1. For average fans, and even some knowledgeable fans, and exponential growth, I'd like to see ESPN's involvement in the sport again.

Nothing against all the TV coverage and production companies and networks involved since ESPN was last involved back in the early 2000's, but ESPN has become the 'de facto' sports network in the USA. Even after all these years, fans still ask "What time will the race be on ESPN?" And what's the even bigger benefit for all involved? SportsCenter. If Supercross could have highlights on ESPN's SportsCenter ? it will make a big difference in how the sport is perceived and bring it to sports fans that have never heard of supercross.
