Musquin Dominant Again at Washougal to Claim Back-to-BackLucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship VictoriesSavatgy Goes Back-to-Back in 250 Class Following Dramatic Win
The 2017 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, made its annual visit to the scenic Pacific Northwest on Saturday for the Peterson CAT Washougal National from Washougal MX Park. The ninth round of the season featured picture perfect weather conditions, in which Team Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Marvin Musquin was able to continue his recent run of dominance, posting a 1-1 sweep in the 450 Class for the second straight week to capture his third overall victory of the season. In the 250 Class, Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki’s Joey Savatgy put himself back atop the podium for the second straight week, emerging triumphant following a wild and dramatic battle for victory amongst four riders.

Musquin picked up where he left off from the week prior by grabbing the Motosport.com Holeshot to start the opening 450 Class moto, ahead of Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Marvin Musquin, RCH/Yoshimura/Suzuki Factory Racing’s Justin Bogle, and Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Eli Tomac. Bogle would experience a bobble on the opening lap that caused him to lose several positions, allowing Tomac to move into third and set his sights on Davalos. The top three stayed close to one another for a couple laps before Tomac was able to take over second on Lap 2. He then made a charge onto Musquin’s rear fender, beginning a thrilling battle for the lead.
On Lap 4 Tomac looked to make a pass in several areas and successfully got to Musquin’s inside in one of the track’s fastest corners. Musquin held the outside line to keep alongside Tomac, but lost traction with his rear tire, which resulted in contact between the two. Musquin came out ahead, but Tomac continued pursuit. From there the top two continued to set a torrid pace, with Musquin inching away slightly. As the laps continued, Musquin’s gap increased and soon he sat in full control of the moto, leaving Tomac to settle into second. Behind them, Davalos gave up third position to Team Honda HRC’s Cole Seely, who was able to pull away and ultimately run unchallenged for the position throughout the entirety of the moto.
The lead trio was able to maintain their pace and assert themselves in their respective positions, with Musquin racing to his third straight moto win, 10.6 seconds ahead of Tomac. Seely followed in a distant third, with Davalos fourth and his Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing teammate Dean Wilson fifth.

When the gate dropped on Moto 2 it was Davalos who emerged with his second Motosport.com Holeshot of the season over Bogle and RMATV/MC-WPS-KTM’s Blake Baggett. Musquin slotted into fourth, with Tomac just a couple spots behind him. Davalos was able to keep his Husqvarna out front for a couple laps, but Musquin was on a march to the front. The Frenchman jumped from fourth to second on Lap 1 and set his sights on Davalos, seizing control of the lead on Lap 3. 
Behind him, Tomac was fighting to keep pace, patiently making passes and eventually moving into third on Lap 2. Just a couple laps later Tomac made the pass on Davalos for second. By the time the Kawasaki rider slotted into the runner-up spot Musquin had already established a multiple-second lead. The distance between the two would continue to grow, with Tomac choosing to settle for second and take valuable championship points. Davalos asserted himself into third, keeping Baggett at bay.
Musquin capped off another dominant outing by taking the win 11.7 seconds ahead of Tomac. Davalos earned the first moto podium result of his career in third.

One week after he broke through for his first 1-1 sweep in the premier division, Musquin duplicated that effort in Washougal to secure his third overall victory of the season, and the third of his career. 
“I didn’t expect to win it that way [today]. We had a great start in the first moto, but Eli [Tomac] was right there and quicker than me. We struggled a little bit and I was fighting with the bike and didn’t have flow,” said Musquin. “For some reason I got a little bit better and got [more] confident, and got the win. For the second moto we made some changes to the bike and it helped, so we were better. It feels good to get another win.”
Tomac took home a solid runner-up finish (2-2), while Davalos’ career-best moto vaulted him onto the overall podium for the very first time. He’s the eighth different rider to land on the overall podium this season.
“[Musquin] was going fast. I was doing what I could,” said Tomac. “We had that little bump [in Moto 1] and I tried to settle into a pace, but he kept going faster. At that point I just settled in [to second]. That was all we got. Today we were just the second-best guy.”
Tomac’s second-place finish helped him add to his lead in the championship standings, moving out to 32 points ahead of Baggett, who finished fifth overall (7-4). Musquin sits third, 54 points out of the lead and 22 points behind Baggett.

The first 250 Class moto saw Yamalube/Star Racing Yamaha’s Aaron Plessinger race to the Motosport.com Holeshot just ahead of Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/KTM rookie Sean Cantrell and fellow Yamalube/Star Racing Yamaha rider Dylan Ferrandis. Championship points leader Zach Osborne got mired deep in the field following a bad start and eventually completed the opening lap in 22nd aboard his Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing machine. However, he would make his presence felt later in the moto.
The clear track allowed Plessinger to quickly open a gap on the field, while Cantrell and Ferrandis engaged in a battle for second, along with Yamalube/Star Racing Yamaha’s Mitchell Harrison and Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki’s Adam Cianciarulo. The Kawasaki rider, who set the fastest lap in qualifying, got past Harrison on Lap 4 and set his sights on the podium. Ferrandis’ continued pursuit of Cantrell slowed his pace a bit, which allowed Cianciarulo to seize the opportunity to move into third on Lap 5. On the following lap Cianciarulo got by Cantrell for second, but at that point he already faced a deficit of more than 10 seconds to Plessinger, who continued to run comfortably out front.
Plessinger and Cianciarulo soon asserted themselves at the front of the field, while Ferrandis was finally able to get around Cantrell for third. From there the top three would remain unchanged. As the moto continued to wear on, Osborne was mounting his charge through the field. He broke into the top 15 on Lap 2 and continued to methodically move forward, soon breaking into the top 10 on Lap 7. His climb up the standings wasn’t complete, as he soon found himself challenging for the top five on Lap 10 before taking over fifth on Lap 11.
Plessinger went unchallenged and led wire to wire to win his second moto of the season, 10.3 seconds ahead of Cianciarulo. As they made the stretch run to the finish through Washougal’s iconic whoops, Ferrandis was forced to fend off both his teammate Harrison and Osborne. The Frenchman took the final podium spot by about half a bike length over Osborne, while Harrison dropped to fifth. Savatgy was not a factor in the moto after a crash, recovering to finish seventh.

As the field stormed out of the gate to start Moto 2 it was Savatgy who secured the holeshot ahead of GEICO Honda’s RJ Hampshire and Cianciarulo. Plessinger started sixth, while Osborne settled into eighth. Savatgy was able to lead the first lap but then came under fire from Hampshire, who applied heavy pressure for a couple laps before successfully making the pass on Lap 3. On that same lap, Plessinger saw his hopes for victory go away when a crash dropped him from sixth to 12th.
Hampshire paced the field for a few laps before Savatgy mounted a challenge to reclaim the lead. After attempting a pass on Lap 6, only to be denied, Savatgy attempted another pass in the same spot the following lap, successfully putting his Kawasaki back out front.
Once he returned to the lead, Savatgy was able to gradually pull away from Hampshire, who was solidly in second until a brief tip over caused him to lose ground to Cianciarulo, Osborne, and Ferrandis, with all four riders sitting within a couple seconds of one another. Cianciarulo was all over Hampshire for second, but the Honda rider withstood the challenge. That allowed Osborne to mount a challenge for third. Cianciarulo defended the initial pass attempt, but just a short time later Osborne made another charge and successfully moved into third. Despite the pass, Cianciarulo still controlled his own destiny in terms of the overall classification, needing to finish fourth in order to clinch his first career victory.
With Savatgy clear out front by several seconds, Hampshire holding on to second, and Osborne third, Cianciarulo then fell into the clutches of Ferrandis on the final lap. The Frenchman applied heavy pressure on the Kawasaki rider and was able to slip inside as they crested Horsepower Hill. Savatgy took the moto win by 2.8 seconds over Hampshire, who recorded a career-best moto result. Osborne followed in third, with Ferrandis and Cianciarulo rounding out the top five.

The last-lap pass by Ferrandis dramatically altered the complexion of the overall classification, giving a second straight overall victory to Savatgy (7-1). It was the sixth win of his career.
“Not a chance [did I think I won]. I thought maybe if I was on the podium then that’d be something realistic, and I’d be happy with that,” said Savatgy. “[A] 7-1 [moto score] doesn’t win, or it doesn’t win often. I was just stoked to be on the [podium], but the way the cards were dealt we walked out with the win. I don’t expect that to happen again.”
Just a single point separated Savatgy from a three-way tie for the runner-up spot, with the second-moto tiebreaker awarding second to Osborne (4-3) and third to Ferrandis (3-4). Cianciarulo (2-5) was bumped off the podium, ultimately dropping from first to fourth overall on the final lap. 
“I went deep in the first moto [with my energy]. I was throwing up after. It was a lot of effort and I knew I’d be missing something in the second moto,” said Osborne. “After everything that happened today, to end up on the podium, I’m really happy about that.”
With his runner-up finish Osborne maintained his assertive control on the championship. His lead now sits at 74 points over GEICO Honda’s Jeremy Martin, who finished seventh overall (9-6). Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/KTM’s Alex Martin, who did not race at Washougal due to an injury suffered in training, is third, 81 points out of the lead.
Cianciarulo saw his first career win slip away on the final lap, which also dropped him off the podium.

LANDMARK DAY FOR ROCKSTAR ENERGY HUSQVARNA FACTORY RACING'S MARTIN DAVALOS AT WASHOUGAL NATIONAL!

Courtesy of Husqvarna Motorcycles


FIRST 450 CAREER PODIUM FOR DAVALOS, HARD-FOUGHT SECOND OVERALL FOR OSBORNE, WILSON MAINTAINS FOURTH IN 450 CHAMPIONSHIP
The Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing team had a successful day at the ninth round of the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship held at the Washougal National in Washougal, Wash. on Saturday. 450 rider Martin Davalos earned his first career 450 podium by going 4-3 for third overall, Zach Osborne rebounded from a back-of-the-pack start in the first 250 moto to finish 4-3 for second overall, and Dean Wilson earned another top-10 finish in the 450 class and maintained his spot at fourth overall in 450 rider point standings.

Martin Davalos got an excellent start in the first 450 moto and immediately started going after the lead. He put on a charge and stayed on leader Marvin Musquin, waiting for his opportunity to strike. He continued to charge before getting passed in the whoops and eventually went back to fourth in the third lap. He kept his head down and finished fourth. He pulled the holeshot in the second moto and held his ground until moving back to second in the third lap then third in lap four. Still in overall podium territory, he rode hard to stay near the front of the pack and finished an impressive third. The strong ride gave him 5-3 for third overall and his first 450 career outdoor podium, and his first podium finish in over nine years. Congratulations, Martin! He is currently eighth overall in 450 rider point standings.

“Man, there’s really not much to say,” said Davalos. “It was an amazing weekend for me. I’m confident and comfortable at this track. I just put my head down today and everything worked out well for me. My starts were on point, and that helped. I’m really proud of myself and all the hard work we’ve put in. I’m glad I could put this bike on the podium.”

Zach Osborne started farther back in the pack in the first 250 moto and came out of the first lap in 23rd. Having his work cut out for him, he charged from 23rd to 16th by the second lap and put on a blistering pace. He navigated his Husqvarna FC 250 into 10th by the halfway mark and was on the move. He put his head down once he got into the top-10 and charged into seventh with seven minutes and two laps to go. He thread the needle through lapped traffic and made another pass into sixth with four minutes to go before finishing a hard-fought fourth. He was top-10 at the start of the second moto and came out of the first lap in eighth. Moving at a steady pace, he was sixth by the fourth lap before navigating into fifth around the halfway mark and stepping it up a notch. He was on the move with eight minutes to go and made an unreal outside pass on Dylan Ferrandis to overtake fourth. He got things going again by making a pass on Adam Cianciarulo for third with three laps to go. He charged right to the end to finish third. The 4-3 finish gave him second overall on the day and maintains his point lead in the 250 championship.

“Overall it was a great day,” said Osborne. “I took some more points. I had a little tip over in the first moto that cost me a lot of time, but I made it back to fourth. I got a better start in the second moto and ended up third for second overall. It was a really good day for points and I can’t complain.”

Dean Wilson was top-10 at the start of the first 450 moto and was fifth before the start of the second lap. He held his ground in fifth and stayed strong as he held off a hard-charging Weston Peick at the end of the race to finish fifth. He pulled a top-10 start in the second moto and was eighth at the end of the first lap. He made the pass for seventh around the eighth lap before making the pass on Justin Bogle for sixth in lap 10. He stayed consistent to finish sixth. The 5-6 finish gave him sixth overall on the day. He is currently fourth overall in 450 rider point standings.

“I did the absolute best I could do,” said Wilson. “I feel like I struggled a little bit on this track. I’m healthy and happy for Martin – that’s awesome for the team. I’m going to have a good couple of weeks going into Unadilla, and I’m looking forward to getting back on the podium.”

The team will now take a week off before heading to the 10th round of the series, being held at the Unadilla National on Saturday, August 12th in New Berlin, NY.

GRAHAM JARVIS EARNS VICTORY AT ROMANIACS 2017

Courtesy of Husqvarna Motorcycles

ROCKSTAR ENERGY HUSQVARNA FACTORY RACING’S HARD ENDURO STAR CLAIMS SIXTH CAREER WIN IN ROMANIA
Putting in a dominant race-long performance in the mountains around Sibiu, Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Graham Jarvis has secured a record sixth career victory at the 14th edition of the Red Bull Romaniacs. Enjoying a strong week of racing in Romania, his young teammate Billy Bolt reached the finish in sixth overall. 

With only victory in his mind, Jarvis got off to a great start by securing a strong fourth place result in the short Sibiu city Prologue. With the race entering its hardest part right after the start of the first offroad day, the TE 300 mounted rider was able to show more of his extreme enduro prowess. 

Successfully battling his way through a long and challenging day of extreme enduro racing, Jarvis topped the opening day in the mountains to open up a gap of 10 minutes over his closest rival. 

Continuing his strong run of form by winning days two and three, the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing rider entered the final day of racing with a 26-minute advantage at the top of the provisional overall standings. 

Putting in a cautious ride to earn fifth on day four, he eased his way to the finish line and into the record books as a six-time Romaniacs champion. 

Wrapping up a successful outing for the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing team, Jarvis’ teammate Billy Bolt rounded out the top six in the event’s final standings. Following an unsuccessful attempt to reach the finish during his debut appearance in the event last year, the young Brit came back stronger this year to bring his TE 300 home in sixth place. 

Enjoying a great start to the five-day-long event, Bolt earned a strong runner-up result in the Prologue. Finishing within the top 10 in each of the four remaining offroad days, Bolt’s highlight was a sixth-place result at the end of a gruelling day three. Reaching the finish line without any major issues, the young Brit proved he has mastered the art of GPS navigation. 

Graham Jarvis“It’s an incredible feeling to win Romaniacs for the sixth time. When I started racing the event almost ten years ago I couldn’t even dream of winning it six times. It’s a fantastic race that has been growing and growing over the last few years. This time it’s been a battle of survival and I was really happy to get to the finish. Day one was pretty tough and it seemed to go on forever. It was difficult to navigate as well. Day two was a bit of an easier one and not so technical. Jonny Walker caught me but after the service point I managed to pull a gap. Overall, it was a good day for me. We knew day three was going to be tough. There was a lot of pushing before the service point and that was the hardest bit. It was a very long day and the tiredness kept building. On the last day I did my best to stay focused on the track. I was tired so I decided to play it safe and ride my bike to the finish. It’s been a huge team effort to get this winning result.” 

Billy Bolt“I’m so happy to have finished the event. We’ve had some ups and downs during the last few days so the feeling of crossing the finish line is fantastic. Getting it done brings a smile to my face. We all struggled a lot during the first three days and then day four was nowhere as difficult as the rest of them. Overall, I’m really happy with the way I rode throughout the event. My plan was to take one day at a time and this was exactly what I did. I feel that I’ve learned so much over the last couple of days and I’m sure this will be beneficial for the future. I want to get back here next year even stronger and show what I’m capable of.”

Engine Ice Hi-Performance Coolant Presents Forrest Butler with Champions Chip

Courtesy of Engine Ice

Merritt Island FL, (July 26, 2017) -  Engine Ice Hi-Performance Coolant, the premier choice for powersports coolant and antifreeze, has presented Forrest Butler, of Butler Brothers MX, the owner of the Rocky Mountain ATV MC-WPS-KTM team with an Engine Ice Champion's Chip. Butler was awarded the chip at his home in Florida by Engine Ice President Dave Kimmey in recognition for his leadership, vision and drive to create a successful private racing team. Engine Ice awarded Butler with the chip after team rider Blake Baggett scored the team's first 450MX class win in Colorado and earned Engine Ice's first red plate as the points leader of the class.

Based upon the long-standing military tradition of "Challenge Coins" that date back as far as the Roman era.  David Kimmey, the owner of CycleLogic Products, the producer of Engine Ice Hi-Performance Coolant, developed an award suitable for the athletes that take place in the various sports where Engine Ice participate.

Soldiers who showed extraordinary efforts or heroic acts received a specially struck coin in recognition for their efforts. That tradition continues to this day in our US Armed Forces. Kimmey felt there was a need to recognize athletes for their extraordinary efforts on and off the track and came up with his version of the coin, the "Engine Ice Hi-Performance Coolant Champions Chip."

"Engine Ice has worked with Forrest as a sponsor since the team's inception and to see them achieve their goals has been a great experience," said Kimmey. He continued, "I am not only a sponsor but a friend, and to see a friend succeed is nothing short of spectacular. I am honored and privileged to be able to present Forrest with a "Champions Chip"."
