Ramona resident, 40, became the oldest rider to reach a Supercross main event — then did it again over the weekend
In his motorcycle-racing career, Billy Laninovich broke his leg, fractured his wrist, underwent four ACL reconstructions, mashed his collarbone three times, busted his C3 vertebra, separated his shoulder, suffered four herniated discs and racked up five concussions. As the Ramona resident rattled through his list of whole-body trauma, he finally paused. 'Is that it?' he asked.
Last month at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, Laninovich became the oldest rider in Supercross history to qualify for a main event. The 40-year-old erased the old mark set by Australian legend Chad Reed at 38 in 2020. Over the weekend, the veteran did it again at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. 'In the last eight years, I probably got on a bike less than 20 times,' he said. 'That's just getting on the bike and riding. So I wasn't really riding at all.
