Jason Weigandt and Daniel Blair discuss the postponement of Round 2 in Oakland, provide injury updates for Austin Forkner and Pierce Brown, and decide which riders are hot and which riders are not.

After the postponement of the Oakland round to next month, the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series will resume with Round 3 in San Diego on Saturday, Jan. 21.

Though it’s the second event of the season, Supercross still is referring to San Diego as Round 3 after Round 2 in Oakland was postponed because of inclement weather. Supercross will return Feb. 18 to Oakland to complete Round 2.

Defending series champion Eli Tomac won the 450 opener in Anaheim ahead of Cooper Webb and Chase Sexton, who will enter San Diego as the defending winner of the race. The Honda rider scored his first career 450 victory in San Diego last year, becoming the 65th rider with a win on the premier circuit.

Though that trio represents the past four championships (two for Tomac, two for Webb) and a likely future champion in Sexton, the season opener still was an unpredictable affair.

There were four leaders and four lead changes, which has occurred only four times in the past decade. Tomac had to battle back furiously after a fall from the lead, and Malcolm Stewart was in the mix for his first 450 victory.

San Diego could feature more surprises. The 450 field has no riders with multiple victories at this venue. Sexton, Ken Roczen (2017), Jason Anderson ('18), Tomac ('19) and Webb ('20) each have a win here.
