2019 MONSTER ENERGY CUP | COMPLETE COVERAGE

Adam Cianciarulo’s run to the overall win at the 2019 Monster Energy Cup was the perfect debut ride with the Monster Energy Kawasaki team. For a few weeks, we’d heard how quick AC was at the California practice track and he made it clear to us ahead of the event that a victory didn’t seem out of reach. A holeshot and laps led in Moto One indicated that Cianciarulo had the speed to lead the pack until a small crash put the win out of reach for that particular match. The start of Moto Two put the rookie deep in the running order, but he picked up the pace, clicked off passes, and reached second place at the finish line flag. Going into the last race of the night, Cianciarulo’s 2-2 finishes had him tied with Eli Tomac and Malcolm Stewart in the results, which meant that a heads-up duel would determine the overall. By now you know what happened, how Cianciarulo rode a controlled race to take the checkered flag over teammate Tomac and scored a six-figure payout for the efforts. What did each battle look like from AC’s perspective? See for yourself thanks to footage from the GoPro Hero 8 Black camera that was mounted to the top of his helmet.
