In the highly competitive sport of supercross, just making it into the main event can be a daunting but extremely rewarding feat. For No-Toil athlete Ryan Breece, containing his excitement after advancing to the Monster Energy Supercross 450 Class Main Event was impossible. 

After missing his opportunity to advance to the final race of the night through the 450 class heat races, Breece was forced into the Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ) with many of his fellow racers hoping to keep their Anaheim 1 dreams alive. After getting a decent start and spending several laps on the cusp of a transfer position, Breece knew he had to do something to secure the final transfer spot of the night. On the final lap with just two corners to go, Breece made his move and executed a successful block pass, breaking the momentum of his competitor and giving him the gap necessary to maintain the position all the way to the finish line. 

Overcome with delight, Breece celebrated with the crowd and made sure all of Angel Stadium knew who fought hard for, and earned, the final transfer spot to the main event.

N-T: You made some epic moves to secure that final transfer spot at A1. What did that moment mean to you as you crossed the finish line?

RB – I was absolutely pumped when we crossed the finish line to secure the final transfer spot. All the hard work and dedication from the month prior leading up to this race left me more than excited, not just for myself but all the people who put their effort and support into Ryan Breece Racing made it possible to get the job done. I think that’s what I was so pumped about. I have a lot of good people in my corner and to see them in the crowd and show the crew that we can do this made it that much more enjoyable!

N-T: What are a few goals for the 2022 Supercross season?

RB – Coming into the season after being off for a year with a knee reconstruction, I had to be realistic with myself and my team. The goal at the beginning is to make the main and score some points. As we keep attacking further, my main focus is to compete with these factory riders and score a few Top-15s, maybe even some Top-10s. My eyes are set on being a top rider in the 450 class, and with the sponsors I have on board, I know it’s possible for me to get in the mix!
