McThoughts: Phoenix SX By Jeff McConkey Round 2 of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross series went off this past Saturday night. The track allowed for better racing than what we had at round 1. It also gave us 2 first-time winners in their respected classes. Let’s have a look at the results and see my thoughts: 250 West 1st Cooper Webb: Cooper looked great. I truly believe he saved
