Ryan Villopoto was clearly feeling it Saturday night in Salt Lake City.  He got a decent start, made some strong passes to get into second, and after James Stewart crashed out of the lead, RV turned on the afterburners and torched the rest of the field, overcoming a charging Chad Reed and a determined Ryan Dungey to win the next-to-last round of the MESS.
