JDR/J-Star/KTM's Tye Simmonds, improved upon his results from the Jacksonville with a much better showing in Toronto, Canada, for the 12th round of the 2011 Monster Energy Supercross, an FIM World Championship.
After not qualifying following a nasty crash in his heat at last week's Supercross race, Simmonds was excited to easily qualify to the main event this weekend with an 8th place finish in the second Supercross heat.
In the main event, Simmonds started around 16th. Throughout the twenty lap main event, he remained consistent in that position. At one point he moved as high up as 13th before eventually settling into 15th for the night.
"I am definitely still off the pace of where I would like to be at this point in the season. But this is my first year ever racing Supercross and I am learning more each week. I am happy to be near the tail end of the season without injury and also qualifying much easier into the mains than at the start of my season," stated Simmonds.
