2021 Monster Energy Supercross Season Recap – Kevin Moranz

Supercross – All roundsGreetings!Supercross was great for us. Last year to this year was a massive improvement from just 35 championship points in 2020 to 70 in 2021. Oh, and an extra 11 from the 450 class! Jumping to the 450 was the best decision I could have made while the east coast took a break and I loved it. With 5 days prep before the season, 13 rounds raced, six 250 main events, three 450 main events, three top 10’s, a ton of great starts, and my speed/results clearly getting better every single round… bring on 2022 Supercross because what’s to come is even better.

Feeling the FLOW

Takeaways from the 2021 Supercross season include 3 main things. One is that we have proven we are a contender and have the ability to run upfront. Two is that we are absolutely capable of more. Having just 5 days on the bike before Supercross began and limited to almost just racing through the season while still showing constant progress, with a strong off-season we have potential for even better results. Three is that we proved we are willing to put in the work.

Building my patron following and getting the fans involved is not only allowing me to get to the races financially but it is bringing more attention in my direction from fans which allows my marketability to increase along with my natural reach. Proudly partnering with several new companies including Gree, Fitz Roofing, Dirt Bike Depot, Monarch Heavy Haul, and more, the future looks very exciting! I truly want to thank you for being a part of my program in 2021, I look forward to working with you in the future.

The first 9 rounds of the series we spent healing up from a Supercross injury where we decided to get my shoulder scoped to make sure there are no problems moving into SX 2022.

Pro Motocross effort: Final 3 Rounds

We could have just sat back and waited until 2022 SX to get back to racing but I missed it so much that we put in the extra work to make it back for the final 3 rounds of the series. Thanks to Team TPJ/FLY Racing for bringing me on board, this proved to pay off because in just 3 rounds after almost four months off we manage to put it into the top 20 every single race while getting better in each event.

Ironman: P21 – Moto 1 P17 – Moto 2 Overall – P19 Points scored: 4MX Total: 4
Pala 2:P18 – Moto 1 P16 – Moto 2 Overall – P16 Points scored:8MX Total:12
Hangtown: P17 – Moto 1 P11 – Moto 2 Overall – P14Points scored:14MX Total: 26

The final round was special because, with just 2 races back, I was given the opportunity to take a fill-in ride for Joey Savagty with the Rocky Mountain team. We hopped on the opportunity to get on equipment I could not buy if I wanted to and we made the best of it. It was really cool to work with the whole Rocky Mountain team and get the experience of how a factory-level team operates with little to no pressure on me. It was the last race of the season; suspension was still set up for Joey and the team knew that.

We worked well with each other all day making adjustments to get me more comfortable on the bike and we got better every time on the track. Changing suspension settings every time we came off the track and a full suspension swap in-between moto 1 and 2 which made all the difference. The extra cool part was that the team allowed me to run my current gear so I could still represent all the people that had been behind me all year.
