Morning Steemers,

Wo0Ho0! It's that time of year again and you know what that means... Monster Cup!

As always there has been some crazy rumors flying around the paddock and as with all these events you never really know how true any of them are until the Event hits. There was one rumor in particular that i was very excited about and fans are already calling it "The return of the king" haha.

Yes! Four time Monster Energy Supercross Champ and one of my all time favorite riders, Ryan Villopoto will return to racing for this years Monster Cup! YEESS!!

This is epic news and I'm now sitting here counting down the minutes till the gate drops haha. At first he was down to ride the press day, practice and qualifying but people were unsure if he would be at the line for the main event. Villopoto has confirmed that he will be lining up though and guys, that means it's on!

Sure you can argue that he has slowed down since he retired in 2015 and that he is not as fit etc etc. The thing is, you don't become the first rider in Supercross history to win four back to back titles without having some of that special sauce on tap. This guy is a hands down competitor for any race he lines up for, a champion though and through and one that will be wanting to take that chequered flag haha. Man I'm so pumped for this Monster Cup now!
