<span style="background-color: white;"><strong style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Team Suzuki Press Office – July 10.<br /><br />Justin Hill #46 - 450 Class - 10-4 for 6th<br />Weston Peick #34 - 450 Class - 8-11 for 9th<br />Justin Bogle #19 - 450 Class -18-20 for 23rd<br />Jimmy Decotis #47 - 250 Class - 27-24 for 27th </strong><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The Autotrader/ Yoshimura/ Suzuki Factory Racing Team ventured to the world-renowned RedBud National in Buchanan, Michigan for round seven of the 2018 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship at the weekend. </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Justin Hill showed grit and determination in scoring a fourth-place finish in the second moto on the all-new Suzuki RM-Z450 – this coming one weekend after going to the hospital to receive stitches in his arm. Team-mate Weston Peick brilliantly worked through the pack to continue his streak of top-10 finishes this summer as Justin Bogle was quickest to the first turn yet again, and he’s figuring out the race pace in only his second race back from a broken upper arm. In the 250 class, Jimmy Decotis had very good speed on his Suzuki RM-Z250. Unfortunately, his day was undone by bad luck. </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Hill is enjoying himself in the 450 class. Riding the all-new Suzuki RM-Z450, Hill is taking advantage of the opportunity to race the 450 class this summer before he steps up full-time in 2019. Hill worked forward after a mid-pack start in the first moto to 10th place. He was quick off the gate in the second moto, starting inside the top-five and running smooth, consistent laps. He matched his career-best 450 moto finish with a fourth place. The 10-4 moto scores earned him sixth overall, and is now 11th in the overall points standings. </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Seven races through the 2018 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship and Peick has yet to finish outside the top 10 overall. Peick put his head down and charged forward in both motos. His 8-11 moto scores were good enough for ninth place. “The Viking” is sixth in the 450 class points tally. </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Bogle has put his Autotrader/ Yoshimura/ Suzuki Factory Racing RM-Z450 to the front of the pack in three of the last four motos. The Cushing, Oklahoma native’s starts have been excellent. After taking extensive time off from racing due to a broken upper arm, Bogle is putting the pieces of the puzzle together. He is sure to capitalise with trips to the podium in no time. A small tip-over while leading the second moto held “Captain” back, but he’s getting stronger in every moto. Bogle’s 18-20 moto scores put him 23rd for the weekend. </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Decotis has been working overtime in order to return to being a podium finisher after missing many months from a back injury. These things take time, but that’s not stopping “The Rippa” from going for broke on his Suzuki RM-Z250. Unfortunately, Decotis made several mistakes in both motos that kept him from reaching his goal. He ended up 27th overall. </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><strong style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Justin Hill [450 Class, 10-4 for 6th Place]: </strong><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">“I only rode practice and the first moto at Southwick, and then took the entire week off from riding. Given the condition I was in with my arm, I chalked up the weekend as a win. I want to be on the podium, and I believe I can achieve that. I booked my flight for RedBud thinking that I was going to go to the signing, and that would be about it. I didn’t have feeling in my hand until Thursday. Practice didn’t go well in Michigan, because I had been off the bike for so long. Honestly, the suspension guys were the shining spot for me. Every motorcycle was getting thrashed on the bumps, but we made good changes all day. Johnny Oler and Ryo Okuda listened to what I had to say, and they made the necessary changes [to the suspension]. I was stoked to have them there to help. </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">“The signing at Zeigler Motorsports in Kalamazoo, Michigan, was totally different. I think we should do more interactive things with the fans like they did at Zeigler Motorsports. There were several representatives from Autotrader, which was cool. It was great to see our sponsors, which doesn’t happen often, because we’re grinding for most of the year. It was a very entertaining and fun event.” </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><strong style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Weston Peick [450 Class, 8-11 for 9th Place]:</strong><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">“We did some testing during the week and thought we were in a better spot. Then I got to RedBud and the track was extremely rough. I had a different thought on changing the suspension, and I personally went the wrong way for the first moto. We switched back to where we were in the beginning of the day for moto two. I’ll focus fine tuning the suspension during the off weekend. Other than that, I was under the weather after Southwick. I walked out of RedBud with finishes that I’m not happy with. I will regroup, get some more seat time in, and come to Millville ready to battle.” </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><strong style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Justin Bogle [450 Class, 18-20 for 23rd Place]:</strong><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">“My day was basically the same as at Southwick. I struggled. At least I can still get starts. Had one good start but struggled through the motos. I felt better going into the second moto, but I fell on the first lap while in the front. I thought it would have been better. I worked my way back up. It was not ideal, but we’re making progress.” </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><strong style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Jimmy Decotis [250 Class, 27-24 for 27th Place]:</strong><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">“I had a couple of bad starts and crashes. It’s hard to move forward when you’re constantly on the ground. Aside from that, the track was good. I heard they got rain on Wednesday, and watered it a lot on Friday. The track was very demanding. Southwick was hard, but RedBud was close to it. Overall, it was a fun track. Lines developed as the second moto came around. The fans were insane, as always. It was super cool, because they were cheering for every rider. I think RedBud will be a really cool event when the Motocross of Nations comes around.” </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><strong style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Jeremy Albrecht [Team Manager]:</strong><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">"Like Southwick, RedBud was another one of those challenging tracks. They ripped it deep, which formed a ton of challenging ruts. The guys were night and day different between the first and second moto. Justin Bogle nailed the holeshot, which is a testament to how fast the RM-Z450 is. He had a bobble right before LaRocco's Leap, which set him back. Still, he's improving. Justin Hill dug deep and matched his best 450 moto, and that came after not knowing whether he was going to be able to race. Weston scored another top ten, but his setup was off. That held him back, but I expect him to return to the top five at Millville. </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">"Our 250 rider, Jimmy Decotis, has the speed and stamina. Unfortunately, he had a bad crash in the first moto. He was better in the second moto but stalled the bike. That took the wind out of his sails." </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">There will be a weekend break before the Autotrader/ Yoshimura/ Suzuki Factory Racing Team resumes racing at round eight of the 2018 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship, held at the historic Spring Creek circuit in Millville, Minnesota on Saturday, July 21st. </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><strong style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">RedBud Image Gallery </strong><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">(BrownDogWilson): </span><a href="https://www.suzuki-racing.com/amamx/series_gallery.aspx" style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; transition: all 0.5s ease-in-out;">CLICK HERE FOR PHOTOS</a><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span></span><br />

<strong style="box-sizing: inherit;">Payson, UT (July 9, 2018) </strong>– It was Independence Day weekend as round seven of the 2018 Pro Motocross Championship series visited RedBud MX in Buchannon, MI. With Bubba Burgers on the grill in the team pits, there was much to celebrate as Team Rocky Mountain ATV/MC-KTM-WPS rider Blake Baggett kept on the gas for 4th overall, Benny Bloss earned his best moto-finish so far this season, and Dakota Alix held on strong for 14th.</div>

Using his excellent gate pick, Blake launched off the start in moto 1, leading the field into the first turn to grab the holeshot. He continued to lead until the end of lap one when he made a mistake and went down hard. After remounting the bike and stopping in the mechanic's area, the ASV supported rider put on a charge through the field, moving from last place all the way to the top five before taking 5th-place finish in the moto.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Oxygen, Tahoma, Arial; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />Blake used a good jump out of the gate in moto 2 to start the race inside the top five. He looked to be moving forward until he went down in one of the technical, deeply rutted sections of the track. Blake remounted, having fallen back to mid-pack, and put on another charge through the field that carried him all the way to 5th place at the finish. With his pair of 5th-place finishes, Blake earned 4th overall and continues to hold 5th in the championship points.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Oxygen, Tahoma, Arial; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
“It was an up-and-down day,” said Baggett. “I had the pace all day, we just had a few mishaps that kept us off the podium. We are still in this championship, so we’ll take this break to regroup and go after it at Spring Creek.”</div>

His choice of Dunlop sand tires proved to work in his favor, as he moved into the top three early in the race. He continued to charge, showing speed through the deep ruts and finishing 3rd, the best moto finish of his career.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Oxygen, Tahoma, Arial; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />Moto 2 had Benny working harder, as he ended the first lap outside the top ten. Bloss kept his speed and worked his way into the top ten before going down hard in the rutted corner before LaRocco’s Leap. He remounted the bike and worked back up to 23rd by the checkered flag, ending the day with 11th overall.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Oxygen, Tahoma, Arial; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
“I’m happy with my ride today,” said Bloss. “I rode well in the first moto, and it felt great to get my first podium moto-finish. It was unfortunate I went down in moto 2, as I feel we could have had a top-five day. We will take the week off to regroup and get ready for Spring Creek.”</div>

Known throughout the world for its spectacular arena and stadium live shows, Nitro Circus is creating its first-ever resident stage show to open at Bally's Las Vegas in Spring 2019. This electrifying all-new production will feature the world's most talented action sports athletes performing spectacular feats and unbelievable stunts in a fully choreographed, adrenaline-charged event. The innovative show will take over the Jubilee Theater, to be reimagined, redesigned and renamed the Nitro Circus Theater, offering guests an up close look at all the action. Tickets will be available for purchase beginning October 2018.</div>

"I am so psyched about this show. It's going to be totally different from anything we've done and unlike anything ever staged before in action sports. Fans are going to have a blast with the show setup. If they were any closer they would be sitting on the bikes with the riders!" said action sports icon, and Nitro Circus ringleader, Travis Pastrana.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.81818em; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">
This show marks the first time that the biggest, most progressive tricks in freestyle motocross (FMX) and BMX will be seen in an intimate theater setting. It will also feature the best in skate, scooter and Nitro Circus' infamous contraptions. The interactive production, the first of its kind, will feature a specially built, multi-million dollar set which will give the audience a truly immersive experience. Using ramps that will stretch throughout the venue, incorporating a platform stage and even the side walls, athletes will perform in and around the audience, getting them closer to the action than ever before. Nitro Circus Theater will also feature video screen installations, inviting the audience into this action sports playground. As this exhilarating show proceeds, the set and scenery will change, taking the audience into different elements of the Nitro Circus experience. Each performance will be completely unique, with segments routinely updated so guests will never see the same show twice. It will also feature a side-splitting host and outrageously entertaining audience engagement that makes for a great family night, date night, guys or girls night out. With thrills, excitement and comedy, this show will be a 90-minute thrill ride that guests will never forget.</div>

<em>Plessinger Takes Third 250 Class Win to Extend Championship Lead</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<strong>BUCHANAN, </strong>Mich. (July 7, 2018) - The Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, continued its famed Fourth of July tradition from RedBud MX with riders and teams sporting the red, white, and blue in honor of Independence Day weekend at the Red Bull RedBud National. The 450 Class saw Team Red Bull KTM Factory Racing's Marvin Musquin take his second consecutive overall victory and move atop the championship point standings following a hard-luck afternoon for entering point leader and Monster Energy Kawasaki rider Eli Tomac. In the 250 Class, Monster Energy/Yamalube/Star/Yamaha's Aaron Plessinger swept both motos for his third overall win of the season.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
The first 450 Class moto of the day began with RMATV/MC-WPS-KTM's Blake Baggett grabbing the Motosport.com Holeshot ahead of reigning champion and defending RedBud winner Tomac. While sprinting on the opening lap, Baggett crashed, which allowed Tomac to move into the number-one position with Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing's Phil Nicoletti and Phoenix Racing's Heath Harrison in tow. Musquin and Monster Energy/Yamaha Factory Racing's Justin Barcia circulated the opening lap near the tail end of the field after a crash took down both riders in the second turn.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
With a clear track out front, Tomac attacked the rough and rutted conditions and quickly began to distance himself from Nicoletti, who continued to ride strong in second. On Lap 3, Team Honda HRC's Ken Roczen made the move on both Harrison and Nicoletti to take control of second, shuffling Nicoletti back to third. RMATV/MC-WPS-KTM's Benny Bloss clawed his way through the front-runners as well and made a successful pass on Nicoletti for third on Lap 5.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
As Tomac cleared the halfway point of the moto, he held a commanding lead over Roczen, who maintained a solid pace to control second. Despite a crash on the opening lap that left him buried in the pack, Musquin put on an incredible charge and quickly closed in on Bloss for third. On Lap 14, Musquin kept rolling and overtook Bloss for third.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
With just three laps remaining and a lead of nearly 15 seconds, misfortune struck Tomac as he was seen pushing his bike off the side of the track and out of the moto. Tomac's trouble allowed Roczen to inherit the lead and take his first moto victory since 2016 by 10.9 seconds over Musquin. Third went to Bloss, who took the first moto podium of his career. Barcia also made an impressive recovery to finish fourth. Tomac was credited with 36<sup>th</sup> place.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
The final moto of the afternoon saw Autotrader/Yoshimura/Suzuki Factory Racing's Justin Bogle capture the Motosport.com Holeshot by edging out Harrison and Roczen. The opening corners saw Musquin use aggressive riding to force his way by the front-runners and take over the lead. At the completion of the opening lap it was Musquin, Roczen and Barcia rounding out the top three, while Tomac was credited with 18<sup>th</sup> after being forced to start on an outside gate due to his Moto 1 finish.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
Musquin wasted no time in setting blistering lap times as he led the way out front and began to open a small cushion over Roczen, who kept Barcia behind him. Roczen continued to push his way forward and closed back in on Musquin, but each time he bridged the gap, the Frenchman managed to pull back out. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
There was no stopping Musquin, who kept a steady pace out front to capture his third moto victory of the season by 3.9 seconds over the field. Barcia pushed the entire 30-minutes-plus-two-laps to overtake Roczen on the final lap for second. Roczen crossed the finish line in third. Tomac overcame multiple crashes and a brief visit to the mechanics are to finish ninth, while first moto podium finisher Bloss could only muster 23<sup>rd</sup> after a crash.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
The second moto win gave Musquin the overall win (2-1), edging out Roczen (1-3) in second overall. Barcia's 4-2 scores were good enough to take the final step of the podium in third. Tomac earned the worst finish of his 450 Class career in 15<sup>th</sup> (36-9).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
It's the sixth 450 Class win of Musquin's career.</div>
<img alt="Justin Barcia's riding was impressive all day as he netted 4-2 moto scores for third overall." class="CToWUd a6T" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEgPocWissntU6WjE7GFIhyM4gwQnbMnpN36d2YiZBiakTSKEZP4qJQVw_uiFRnoY6_x65TBMDNHeoT0H6s0kVyvdqB4LD8JD5GN0JA7o-wbHUrcN89XFa9jlnknPIBRMFb1hSdkgL_teh3MaGUIXPc=s0-d-e1-ft" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; cursor: pointer; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; outline: 0px;" tabindex="0" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Justin Barcia's riding was impressive all day as he netted 4-2 moto scores for third overall.</span><br />

"I certainly didn't expect to leave RedBud with the points lead," said Musquin. "What a crazy day. I couldn't believe when I saw Eli [Tomac] off of the side of the track in the first moto. Consistency was key today, the track was tough, and I managed to leave here with two good moto results. The fans are insane here and it's amazing to get the win."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
The 450 Class received a change in the point standings for the first time this season as Musquin's win lifted him to the top of the championship. Tomac, who entered the day with a 33-point advantage, now trails Musquin by three points. Barcia is third, 40 points out of the lead.</div>

The opening 250 Class moto saw Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki's Austin Forkner emerge with the Motosport.com Holeshot ahead of Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/KTM riders Shane McElrath and Alex Martin. As the 40-rider field charged through the opening corners, McElrath powered his way to the front with Forkner and Plessinger battling over second and third.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
While McElrath controlled the race early, Forkner and Plessinger continued their fight for second, with Plessinger using LaRocco's Leap to jump past the Kawasaki rider. Plessinger consistently clicked off laps and began to distance himself from Forkner, while also closing in on the lead. He used the same move on LaRocco's Leap to seize the top spot from McElrath. Forkner soon followed into second.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
With 10 minutes remaining, Forkner found himself gaining momentum as he moved onto the rear wheel of Plessinger in the hunt for the win. Just one lap later, Forkner made the pass, however, it would be short lived as Plessinger instantly retaliated with an aggressive pass that sent Forkner to the ground. Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki's Joey Savatgy and GEICO Honda's RJ Hampshire moved into second and third, respectively.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
As Plessinger continued his impressive ride out front, Savatgy made a costly mistake through the sand rollers on Lap 12 that left the Kawasaki rider on the ground, which moved Hampshire to second and McElrath back to third. With just two laps remaining, Monster Energy/Yamalube/Star/Yamaha's Dylan Ferrandis joined the battle for third and muscled his way around McElrath. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
Plessinger held on to take the checkered flag for his fifth moto win of the season by 10.2 seconds over Hampshire, who finished on the podium for the second time this season. Ferrandis completed the top three in third.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
In the final 250 Class moto it was Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing's Mitchell Harrison who emerged with the Motosport.com Holeshot, followed by Plessinger and Savatgy. A pileup in the first corner collected several riders, including first moto runner-up Hampshire and McElrath. At the completion of the opening lap it was Plessinger in first, with Savatgy and Harrison in tow.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
Plessinger controlled the pace out front, but the battle behind him raged as Savatgy pressed forward in an attempt to fight off of the pressure from teammate Forkner and the KTM-mounted Martin. As the trio closed in on the halfway point of the moto, all three were separated by less than a second and searching for a way past one another. Martin and Forkner worked tirelessly and eventually found their way around Savatgy, while Forkner continued his march to the front and blitzed by Martin for second.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
As the checkered flag waved, Plessinger maintained his lead in the final laps to take his sixth moto win of the season by 5 seconds, sweeping both motos for the third time this season. Forkner rebounded from his first moto troubles to finish second, followed by Martin in third.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
The 1-1 moto scores gave Plessinger his third win of the season and the fifth victory of his career. Martin used consistency to secure second overall (4-3), which edged out Ferrandis in third (3-4). </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
"The last few races following Muddy Creek have been tough," said Plessinger. "My confidence took a bit of a hit with some of the issues I had, but the starts are super important and today we proved where we belong when we get starts. I like this track and I've never actually been on the podium here before, so this is cool with the Motocross of Nations coming up here in a few months."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
Plessinger's victory extended his lead in the championship standings, which now sits at 35 points over Martin. Monster Energy/Yamalube/Star/Yamaha's Justin Cooper, who finished fifth overall (8-7), moved into third and trails Plessinger by 82 points. </div>

With the Semarang track hosting round 13 of the 2018 FIM Motocross World Championship, Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing rider Thomas Covington has secured a strong fifth overall in the MX2 category. Battling through an early fall in moto one, the FC 250 powered rider came back stronger to cross the line third in the final moto at the Indonesian track.<br /><br />The second consecutive stop of the 2018 series in Indonesia saw competitors faced with slick track conditions around the hard-packed Semarang track. Securing a strong fifth in the MX2 Qualifying Race, Thomas Covington entered the final motos aiming for a potential fourth consecutive podium result in the 250cc category.<br /><br />Victim of an early fall in moto one, the American put his head down to cross the line in seventh position. Getting a strong third in moto two, Covington remains sixth in the provisional 2018 MX2 World Championship standings.<br /><br />For Covington’s Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing team partner Thomas Kjer-Olsen, the GP of Asia was one of mixed fortunes. Involved in the same moto one incident that saw both Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing MX2 team riders crash, Kjer-Olsen went on to claim 11th at the chequered flag. Improving to fourth in moto two, the young Dane earned seventh overall at the GP of Asia. Kjer-Olsen remains third in the provisional 2018 MX2 World Championship standings.<br /><br />In the MXGP category, two strong performances at the Samarang track allowed Max Anstie to wrap up the GP of Asia in sixth overall. Securing an 11th place result in moto one the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing rider was able to show more of what he is capable of in the second moto. Claiming sixth in moto two, Max was just one-point outside a provisional top five overall result in Indonesia.<br /><br />Joining Anstie in the battle for a provisional top five overall result in the MXGP category was Gautier Paulin. Enjoying a steady moto one performance for fifth at the chequered flag, the Frenchman was racing in fifth position again in moto two but a crash late in the race forced him to settle for 11th at the line.<br /><br />The Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing team will return to action at the 13th round of the 2018 FIM Motocross World Championship in the Czech Republic on July 21/22.<br /><br /><strong>Thomas Covington</strong>: <em>“I felt I had good speed this weekend and I took the battle for the overall podium down to the last laps in moto two. I got off to a good start in the opening race but a few corners later Olsen crashed right in front of me and I had nowhere to go. Picking myself up I pushed hard to cross the line in seventh place. Things were better in moto two and I quickly managed to put myself in second place. Pushing a bit too much in moto one following the crash I felt I was running out of energy at the last few laps of moto two, so I had to settle for third at the finish line. I am happy with fifth overall following what happened in moto one and I’m looking forward to returning to Europe now.”</em><br /><br /><strong>Thomas Kjer-Olsen</strong>: <em>“It was an up and down weekend for us, but I am happy with my performance in the second moto. Getting a good start in the opening moto I ended up crashing after the landing of a jump and this made it all harder for me. As a result of the crash the front brake line was damaged, so I had to race the rest of the moto without a front brake. Things were better in the second moto. I quickly found myself in fourth position and then did my own race to finish in that same place. I tried my best this weekend and if it wasn’t for the crash in moto one my overall result could have been a lot better.”</em><br /><br /><strong>Max Anstie</strong>: <em>“I’m quite pleased with my second moto. Conditions were slick and slippery and it was easy to make mistakes on this track. In moto one I struggled to get a good race pace but during the break we made some good improvements on the bike. I can’t thank enough my team and especially our mechanics who work hard in these overseas GPs. I felt good in the second moto and I managed to push for sixth at the line and sixth overall at the GP. It was a good way to end our trip to Indonesia and now I’m looking forward to going back to Europe.”</em><br /><br /><strong>Gautier Paulin</strong>: <em>“Everything was working quite well for me this weekend but a crash in moto two did not let me get the results I expected. In moto one I had a good start and pushed hard for the rest of the race. Putting in some consistent lap times I finished moto one in fifth place and that was positive going into moto two. I got another good start in moto two and after a few small mistakes in the opening laps I was racing in fifth position. After a big jump the front washed out and I hit the ground. I got up and started again, doing the best I could. Luckily the crash only caused some muscle pain and we avoided any injury. Getting eighth overall is not what we hoped for, but I am confident we can come back stronger as the series heads back to Europe now.”</em><br /><br /><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://media.husqvarna-motorcycles.com/assetbank-husqvarna/action/browseItems?categoryId%3D2012%26categoryTypeId%3D1&source=gmail&ust=1531178150933000&usg=AFQjCNHba-TKo5SZSSp5NnZ7lmCs-cSnjg" href="https://media.husqvarna-motorcycles.com/assetbank-husqvarna/action/browseItems?categoryId=2012&categoryTypeId=1" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Download high-res images from the MXGP of Asia <strong>here</strong>. </a><br /><br /><span style="text-decoration-line: underline;"><strong>Results – 2018 FIM Motocross World Championship, Round 13 </strong></span><br /><br /><strong>MXGP - Overall </strong><br />1.

The Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing Team went to battle at the historic RedBud National, the seventh round of the AMA Pro Motocross Championship, in Buchanan, Mich. on Saturday. The team had a strong showing, with Phil Nicoletti earning fifth in the 450 class, and Michael Mosiman, Mitchell Harrison, Jordan Bailey, and Ryan Sipes finishing eighth, 10th, 12th, and 16th, respectively, in the 250 class.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Phil Nicoletti got a great start in the first 450 moto and quickly moved into third. He inherited the second-place spot after the leader went down, then went back to third the following lap. He fought hard for position and looked strong as he charged his way through the moto. He put on an impressive ride despite being shuffled back and crossed the finish line in sixth. He was mid-pack at the start of the second moto and came out of the first lap in eighth. He charged to sixth in the second lap and put on a strong ride to finish sixth. He went 6-6 for an impressive fifth overall on the day.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">"It felt really great to get in the top-five," said Nicoletti. "It's been a long time coming, and we made great progress this week. The track was brutal, and it wasn't easy by any means. I ran in second for a long time in the first moto, but I'm not quite used to that pace. If I keep putting myself in that position I'll keep getting better. I'm happy with everything and I'm going to keep plugging away."</em><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Michael Mosiman was mid-pack at the start of the first 250 moto and was riding in 14th by the second lap. He charged his way to 11th by the fifth lap, then continued to push as he made his way into the top-10 with eight minutes remaining. He held his ground and finished ninth despite going down twice in the race. He got a great start in the second moto and came out of the first lap in fourth. He was shuffled back to 12th then made one more pass to finish just outside the top-10 in 11th. He went 9-11 for eighth overall on the day.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">"RedBud is in the books," said Mosiman. "There's definitely some positives to take away, but a lot of mistakes were made. My speed was good, but I need to be up there mixing it up with those guys. I got a good start in the second moto, but went down twice. I got ninth in the first moto, but crashed twice there, too. I'm going to keep striving and will enjoy the weekend off."</em><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Mitchell Harrison went down at the start of the first 250 moto and had to work his way through the field. He was in 17th in lap 10 then made a late race charge to finish 13th despite crashing three times during the race. He pulled the holeshot in the second moto but got shuffled back to sixth by the end of the first lap. He was eighth around the halfway mark and stayed strong to finish eighth. The 13-18 finish gave him 10th overall on the day.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">"I learned a lot this weekend," said Harrison. "I went down three times in the first moto and got tangled up with a few guys. I had a strong second half of the moto and came back to 13th. I ripped the holeshot in the second moto, but these guys are so fast and they got by me. I rode my own race and was strong in the second half and caught a few riders. If I can do the whole moto like I can in the second half I'll be right up there."</em><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Jordan Bailey was mid-pack at the start of the first 250 moto and was just outside of the top-10 in the second lap. He held strong in 11th the majority of the race before finishing 12th. He was mid-pack at the start of the second moto and was riding strong in 12th. He moved up to 11th soon after then made two more passes for ninth after the halfway point. He put on a great ride and made one more pass to finish 10th. He finished 12-10 for 12th overall.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">"RedBud lived up to its expectation," said Bailey. "The track was deep and the ruts were nasty. Practice was good for me. I finished 12th in the first moto, then finished 10th in the second moto. It's a step in the right direction. I'm going to keep building and will work on getting better results."</em><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Ryan Sipes joined the team as a fill-in rider this week, and held his ground amongst the stacked field. He got a decent start in the first 250 moto and came out of the first lap mid-pack. He stayed consistent the remainder of the race to finish 16th. He got a good start in the second moto and was eighth by the end of the first lap, then put on a strong ride and finished 13th. The 16-13 finish gave him 16th overall.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">"I was able to get pretty good starts both motos," said Sipes. "It took me awhile to get going in the first moto. I rode a lot better the second moto. I'm ok with 16-13 for only having two days on the bike. I haven't ridden a track this gnarly in years, so I'm good with it."</em></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"><strong>BUCHANAN,</strong> Mich. – Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Marvin Musquin earned his second consecutive victory and locked down the 450 series points lead at the RedBud National, the seventh round of the AMA Pro Motocross Championship, held in Buchanan, Mich. on Saturday. Riding like a champion, he overcame a crash in the first lap of the first 450 moto to charge from the back of the pack to second, then followed it up with an exciting second moto win to earn the overall and the red plate.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Marvin Musquin posted the third-fastest qualifying time of the day, and had the opportunity to take control of the 450 points lead and the coveted red plate. He lined up for the first 450 moto looking for a holeshot but got caught up in a first-turn pileup. He remounted in the back of the pack and charged through the traffic. He pushed his way to 12th by the third lap then closed a ton of ground to make it up to fifth around the halfway mark. He blew past Benny Bloss for third with three laps to go then finished his impressive moto with one more pass for second.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">He was fourth at the start of the second moto and immediately went to battle as he overtook the lead before the end of the first lap. He had a strong ride and held his ground as he was being challenged for position the remainder of the race. Never letting up, he fully redeemed himself from his first-moto crash and put on an amazing ride to charge to his second consecutive overall victory and take over the series points lead. He will run the red plate at the next race.</span></div>

<strong><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Musquin: </span></strong><em><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">“I can't believe I came back to second place in the first moto. It was a crazy race, so having a shot of winning the overall after that was great. I was looking forward to the second moto. I got a great start and was able to get into the lead. My goal was to stay consistent and mistake-free. I was able to stay on two wheels and keep Kenny and Barcia behind me. It's crazy to be leading the championship now. Anything can happen. It's only another race, and there's a lot to go. The fans were unbelievable here. I really enjoyed it. Having the second win in a row is amazing."</span></em></div>

After the cloudy humidity of Pangkal Pinang the teams and riders faced the searing mid-30s heat of Semarang with a wide, fast and spectacular clay circuit hosting the Grand Prix of Asia.<br /><br /><strong>MXGP</strong><br /><br /><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.ktm.com/racing/mx/riders/jeffrey-herlings/&source=gmail&ust=1531177604152000&usg=AFQjCNG_ZKdcvF6G4Zu_zcGtlVH8bU2sbw" href="http://www.ktm.com/racing/mx/riders/jeffrey-herlings/" style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Jeffrey Herlings</a> aced an emphatic return from collarbone surgery to own both Grands Prix in Asia on his <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.ktm.com/mx/450-sx-f-1/&source=gmail&ust=1531177604152000&usg=AFQjCNF1XTj5fRcPJDccnPwtWTtwA7T_tA" href="http://www.ktm.com/mx/450-sx-f-1/" style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">KTM 450 SX-F</a>. The Dutchman was finally able to train and ride with a degree of normality after his surprising success in Pangkal Pinang and went to Semarang with rising confidence. He deposed of Tim Gajser late in the first moto to win, and then controlled the second moto from the front to record 19 chequered flags from the 26 run in the 2018 competition so far.<br /><br />The 23 year old was able to extend his lead in the championship from 12 to 24 points over teammate <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.ktm.com/racing/mx/riders/tony-cairoli/&source=gmail&ust=1531177604152000&usg=AFQjCNEK1t8VK3jXL0puUxoht70rx1hmCg" href="http://www.ktm.com/racing/mx/riders/tony-cairoli/" style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Tony Cairoli</a>. The World Champion suffered through two long races with an injured left thumb to register results of 3-4. The ranking gave #222 4th place overall and meant that he missed the MXGP podium for just the third time in 2018.<br /><br /><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.ktm.com/racing/mx/riders/glenn-coldenhoff/&source=gmail&ust=1531177604152000&usg=AFQjCNGmHtKyyEzjFV9Wpw7rEV4o-Hs45g" href="http://www.ktm.com/racing/mx/riders/glenn-coldenhoff/" style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Glenn Coldenhoff </a>was 17th overall. The Dutchman had initially chased hard and placed in the top ten of the first moto but was then penalised by ten positions after race direction adjudged #259 to have jumped while medical flags were being waved. He classified 14th in the second dash.<br /><br /><strong>Herlings</strong>: <em>“I don't think we could have dreamt of these results. We came to Indonesia totally unprepared but to go 2-1 last week and then even better today – with the Qualification Heat and both motos – is absolutely awesome. We couldn't have wished for anything better. This is not the ‘normal’ Jeffrey Herling yet but to leave Indonesia with two GP wins is a blessing. Red Bull KTM have done such an incredible job and I loved spending all this time with them. The team gave me a perfect bike and I would not be winning without them. I’m now looking forward to Loket in two weeks time. It is not my favourite track but the goal will be as many points as possible.”</em><br /><br /><strong>Cairoli</strong>: <em>“I was very worried this week because I had a lot of pain and until Friday I could barely ride around on a scooter! I tried on Wednesday and it was so painful so I knew it would be hard to race, especially at this hard-pack track that is so tough on the landings. On Saturday it was almost impossible to ride without painkillers and for Sunday we decided to have an injection. The pain slowed a little bit but only for 15-20 minutes. The first moto was good actually; third place and I didn't expect that I could be top five with this problem. It was a surprise. I had a good start in the second moto but was pushed a little bit wide by Jeffrey on the first corner and we both lost the lead as we were 1-2. I made another mistake on the jump, came short and hurt the thumb again so I dropped back to ninth and I knew I needed to regroup. In the end fourth was good and just one point from the podium. We know we have lost some points for the championship but there are still a lot of GPs to come.”</em><br /><br /><strong>Coldenhoff</strong>: <em>“I didn't feel that great on the track on Saturday and had a bad start in the first moto on Sunday; it was really hard to come through and not easy to pass. In the end I should have been eighth but was penalised for not respecting the yellow flags. Normally I’m the first person to slow when I see the flags but this time I really could not see them in time. We complained after the moto but nothing could be done. 18th was really disappointing. I made some small mistakes in the second moto but was very far back. I gave everything I had but I think it wasn't my moto. I don't really know what happened but we’ll analyse it and work on it. We need to improve and forget this one. I’m not happy going home but on the other side I am happy to be going home!

Jonass keeps the red plate courtesy of his superior moto win advantage (12 to Prado’s 8).<br /><br /><strong>Prado</strong>: <em>“I had a great weekend. The track looked really good when we arrived on Friday and I thought this would be a decent place for me, even if the dirt is not the best for my riding style. I really enjoyed it and I’m happy with the overall win and to level with Pauls on points; I could not wish for a better weekend.”</em><br /><br /><strong>Jonass</strong>: <em>“This GP was much better than the last so I cannot be too disappointed as I tried my best and just had some bad luck at the beginning of the second moto. The speed and the fitness was there as was my feeling on the track. I’m really looking forward to get back to Europe. It has been a long week and I want to get back to a normal training programme and focus on making some more points again in the championship and to get that gap again.”</em><br /><br />Now for the long journey home. MXGP will have a free weekend to recover from the travel and the jetlag back in Europe before the slick hard-pack of Loket and the Grand Prix of Czech Republic awaits on July 22nd.<br /><br /><strong>Next race: Grand Prix of Czech Republic, Loket, July 22nd</strong><br /><br /><strong>Results MXGP Semarang 2018</strong><br /><br /><strong>1.

<strong style="box-sizing: inherit;">Payson, UT (July 2, 2018)</strong> – At the halfway point of the season, round six of the 2018 Pro Motocross Championship series headed to the only sand track on the circuit at the Wick 338 in Southwick, MA. The heat didn’t faze Team RMATVMC-KTM-WPS, as Blake Baggett kept on the gas for 4th overall, Benny Bloss used his speed for 6th, and Dakota Alix made his return to racing.</div>

With his good gate pick, he launched off the start with full force and led the field into the first turn. After jockeying for position, Blake settled into his rhythm and took 3rd early on. He continued his charge, and the Engine Ice-supported rider took the checkered flag in 4th place.</span><br />

The start of moto 2 was a repeat of the first, as Blake used the power of his FMF Racing exhaust to lead the field into the first turn. With track conditions at their most challenging of the day, BB4 slid outside the top five early on before putting on a charge and fighting his way back to finish in 4th place. Blake’s 4-4 score earned him 4th place overall, and he continues to hold down 5th place in championship points.</div>

“The track was demanding,” said Baggett. “I had two good starts and got into my rhythm out there. I gave it my best effort, but I came up a bit short. We will regroup and go after a podium at RedBud next weekend.”</div>

Keeping his speed up, the ODI-supported rider charged to just outside the top five, finishing the moto in 6th place.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Oxygen, Tahoma, Arial; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
A better start in moto 2 allowed Benny to battle inside the top ten early on. The DT-1-supported rider used every bit of the track as he battled his way to another 6th place finish. Benny’s 6-6 score earned him 6th place overall, and he continues to hold down 7th place in the championship points.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Oxygen, Tahoma, Arial; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">

In the second moto, Dakota kept the pace and finished inside the top twenty in 19th, giving him 18th overall on the day.</div>

Team-mate Weston Peick overcame a first-turn crash in the second moto to earn a top-10 finish and has now finished inside the top-10 at every National in 2018. Justin Hill looked primed and ready to make a statement in only his third 450 National. Unfortunately, Hill was collected in a first-turn crash in the first moto. Nevertheless, he gritted-it-out and completed the moto, despite a deep cut in his arm. </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">In the 250 class, hometown hero Jimmy Decotis nearly pulled the holeshot in the opening moto on his RM-Z250 and worked to match the pace of the front-runners in his second race back from injury. </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Peick continues to impress on the all-new Suzuki RM-Z450. The Menifee, California resident has the heart of a warrior, evidenced by his charge through the pack in the second moto. Collected in a massive first-turn pile-up, Peick put his head down and rocketed past nearly three-quarters of the field. His efforts netted a 10th place finish - his sixth top-10 in the series and he holds sixth in the point standings. </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The Autotrader/ Yoshimura/ Suzuki Factory Racing Team expected Bogle to make his return at this weekend’s RedBud National. It was a pleasant surprise when the National-winning Bogle came back earlier than previously thought to race at Southwick. The Cushing, Oklahoma native used lightning-fast reflexes and the speedy Suzuki RM-Z450 to nail both holeshots. However, mistakes and ‘ring rust’ slowed his charge. Bogle’s 18-20 moto scores netted him 23rd overall, and he vows to only improve from here. </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Hill spent this past week preparing for Southwick by riding at several sand tracks in the North Carolina area. Unfortunately, there was no way that the 450 stand-out could prepare for the melee that occurred in the first turn of the opening moto at Southwick. Hill suffered a deep cut in his right arm, but still managed to finish the race. After receiving medical attention following the moto, it was determined that Hill should be evaluated at a local hospital. We will provide an update on his condition when it becomes available. </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Decotis had the Southwick National circled on his calendar months ago. The Massachusetts native was determined to race his hometown National. The RM-Z250 rider achieved his goal and did more than that by running in second place during the opening moto. Fans hung over the fences yelling Decotis’ nickname, “The Rippa,” while Jimmy styled at the front for several laps. A series of crashes slowed his progress, but that’s to be expected for his second race back from a serious spinal injury. Decotis was caught up in a first-turn crash in the second moto and the impact caused a mechanical issue that could not be overcome and he had to retire from the race. </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><strong style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Weston Peick [450 Class, 9-11 for 10th Place]:</strong><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">“Southwick was tough. I got off to a rough start. On Friday, I crashed hard during press day and hurt my shoulder. I was going into Saturday banged up. In the first practice, we made some changes in order to find a good setup for the sand. We went one direction, but I struggled with it in the first moto. I got tangled in the first turn but made some passes and settled into a groove. We made some suspension changes for the second moto, and that was better. I went down in the first turn and came through the pack pretty quickly, but then I collided with a rider while passing for 10th. I had to dig deep and I came back to 11th. Overall, it was a bad weekend, but I played it safe and salvaged some points.” </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><strong style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Justin Bogle [450 Class, 18-20 for 23rd Place]:</strong><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">“My starts were awesome. Pretty much everything else beside that was far off. Fortunately, I got the first race out of the way. I felt good in the first half of the motos, but Southwick was hot and gnarly. I’m adjusting to racing again, because it has been so long since I’ve seen a gate drop. It was a shock to the system. Southwick wasn’t one of my best days, but I do know that there’s a lot more, so I’m not too worried about it. Things will come here soon.” </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><strong style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Justin Hill [450 Class, 21-DNS for 40th Place]: </strong><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">“I felt like a fish out of water in the sand. I could have pulled it together and had a really good start in the first moto. I’m fairly certain someone ran me over. That’s why I fell over. I was third when that happened. A footpeg caught me. I really couldn’t feel my arm immediately after the impact. I got on the bike and pushed, but my arm was still numb. It was determined that I should seek additional medical advice after I pulled off the track, so I went to the emergency room and had bad lacerations. The doctors did some nerve tests. That’s why I sat out the second moto. I’m not sure how I pushed through the first moto - It must have been adrenaline! It’s one of those things. If there’s anything I can take from the weekend, it’s crazy what can be accomplished without understanding what’s really going on. I got a few stitches, and those will come out this week.” </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><strong style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Jimmy Decotis [250 Class, 20-35 for 21st Place]: </strong><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">“It was fun being involved with press day. I was able to go home and see some family, and also visit some of the spots I like to eat at. Everything was going smoothly. I qualified 13th in timed practice, and I didn’t care too much about my position because I was feeling good. In the first moto, I really wanted to get the start. I had a good jump out the gate and my Suzuki laid down the horsepower in the sandy start. I came around in third and moved into second. Then I rode tight and let the pressure of that event get to me. I wasn’t hitting my marks. I ended up crashing about halfway through the moto, so that set me back. I ended up 20th. I had a good jump in the second moto, but someone ended up tucking their front end and crashing into me. I fell and somehow managed to get my boot caught in the engine. When I pulled my foot out my boot pulled off a radiator hose. My bike was pouring coolant for half of the moto, but then it finally gave up. It was a freak thing.” </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><strong style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Jeremy Albrecht [Team Manager]:</strong><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">“Southwick was a tough race. The heat index was very high, and the track itself made the conditions extremely challenging. I continue to be impressed by Weston Peick. He had a big crash during press day, but he dug deep and came away with another top 10. It was nice to see Bogle racing. His starts were dialled, but he’s not used to that pace. The intensity will come. As for Hill, he suffered from a case of bad luck. The speed was there, but that’s how these things go. </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">“Jimmy Decotis was excited to race Southwick. It’s incredible that he was even able to race after breaking his back during the Supercross series. Jimmy had the ability to finish on the box, but these things take time. Overall, I like what I’m seeing from our riders. It’s only a matter of time.” </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The Autotrader/ Yoshimura/ Suzuki Factory Racing Team will travel to Buchanan, Michigan for round seven of the 2018 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship, held at the famed RedBud circuit on July 7th. </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><strong style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Southwick AMA MX Image Gallery</strong><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">: </span><a href="https://www.suzuki-racing.com/amamx/series_gallery.aspx" style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; transition: all 0.5s ease-in-out;">CLICK HERE FOR PHOTOS</a><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><strong style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Championship Points:</strong><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span><a href="https://www.suzuki-racing.com/amamx/series_points.aspx" style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; transition: all 0.5s ease-in-out;">CLICK HERE</a><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><strong style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">For more team information</strong><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">: </span><a href="http://www.jgrmxraceteam.com/" style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; transition: all 0.5s ease-in-out;">CLICK HERE</a></span><br />

I think I was outside the top 20! First moto I got a decent start and was able to stay with the front pack for a few laps and then went down. Never really got going again and ended up seventh. Our plan going into that second moto was to just get a good start and not worry about going fast but just clicking off laps. I ended up holeshotting but got passed right away. By no means was I close to going the fastest but I was just clicking them off like we had planned. Third in the second moto for a fourth overall is a pretty big step considering my week. The team and I will continue to make progress.”</span></div>

The rest of the moto I had some more falls and it was just an overall rough moto for me. It’s too bad because I felt pretty good riding. I’m really looking forward to these last six nationals and I’m ready to put two solid motos together this next weekend at RedBud! It’s time to be a podium contender every weekend!”</span></div>

Claiming an impressive flag-to-flag victory in the opening moto, Thomas Covington has finished as overall runner-up in the MX2 class at the GP of Indonesia. Earning his third consecutive podium result, the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing rider got the holeshot in the opening moto before securing the chequered flag. Made to work harder in the second moto, Covington battled his way forward for an eventual fourth place result. <br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Returning to the Pangkal Pinang track, this year’s MXGP of Indonesia was made all the more challenging due to torrential rain during the days leading up to the event. With riders faced with a muddy track during the Qualifying Races on Saturday, conditions thankfully improved for the final motos on Sunday. Securing fourth in the MX2 Qualifying moto, Thomas Covington was eager to impress in Sunday’s all-important races. <br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />With his FC 250 powering the American to an impressive holeshot in the first moto, Covington never looked back. Earning a start-to-finish win, the American lined up for the second moto with his eyes set on the overall victory. Frustratingly, not getting a good start in moto two, Thomas was forced to come through the pack to eventually cross the line in fourth place. <br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Earning a strong third in the MX2 Qualifying Race, Thomas Kjer-Olsen struggled to find a good race pace following two falls in the final motos. Collecting 5/9 results in Indonesia, Kjer-Olsen remains third in the provisional MX2 World Championship standings. <br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />In the MXGP category, the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing duo of Gautier Paulin and Max Anstie enjoyed strong outings in the Indonesia mud. Putting in two consistent performances, Paulin secured two top seven moto results for seventh overall at the GP. <br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Battling his way through the pack following less than ideal starts, Max Anstie earned eighth overall in the MXGP category. Making a lot of passes during the two final motos, the Brit is positive for some improved results going into the second GP on Indonesian soil this coming weekend. <br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />The Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing team will return to action at the 12th round of the 2018 FIM Motocross World Championship in Indonesia on June 30 - July 1. <br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">Thomas Covington</b>: <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">“Everything worked well for me in the opening moto. I got the holeshot and did my own race for the win. As for the second moto, my start wasn’t perfect and I had to dig deep to get up front. Once again we showed the overall victory was well within our reach and I’m a little bit disappointed for finishing second overall for the third time in a row. I am happy with where I’m at in terms of my speed and stamina and I need to work on my second moto performances. I can’t thank enough my team for their great support and I am looking forward to the following GP here in Indonesia.”</i> <br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">Thomas Kjer-Olsen</b>: <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">“My starts were good in both motos and I could run with the guys up front. The speed was there but I had one crash in each moto and that made things a lot harder. I struggled to find a good race pace after the crashes and that had me settle for fifth in the first moto and ninth in the last one. Obviously, I was looking for more coming into this GP but I am happy I am still in one piece after another tough weekend. Our eyes are set now on next weekend’s GP here in Indonesia.”</i> <br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">Gautier Paulin</b>: <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">“I started the weekend getting fourth in qualifying and overall I had a good feeling going into the final motos. In the opening race I got off to a good start but a few small mistakes made me drop a few spots for sixth at the flag. My start wasn’t that good in the second moto, but I pushed even harder to make up some ground. Conditions were treacherous and the harder you pushed you increased the chances of making a mistake. I struggled to get some consistent lap times in these conditions. To be honest I was expecting more coming into this GP. We move on from that and now it’s on to the following GP here in Indonesia this coming weekend.”</i> <br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">Max Anstie</b>: <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">“Everything was going well for me and I knew I could battle for some good results here in Indonesia. I was running fifth in the Qualifying moto, but a crash forced me to cross the line in 12th. Not having a good gate pick for the final motos made it all harder for me. There were just a few good lines after the start and everything else was covered in deep mud. My starts were good, but then I had to go through big puddles of mud before entering the first corner. Despite not placing myself in good positions after the start, I did everything I could to get back up front. Things were a little better in the second moto and overall I could enjoy a better race for sixth at the chequered flag. We take the positives out of this GP and I’m happy with my speed at the moment.”</i> <br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><b style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-line: underline;">Results – 2018 FIM Motocross World Championship, Round 12 </span></b><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">MXGP - Overall </b><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />1.

<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing Team battled the sand and the blistering heat on Saturday at the Southwick National, the sixth round of the AMA Pro Motocross Championship, held in Southwick, Mass. 450 rider Phil Nicoletti impressed with a 10-8 for ninth overall. 250 riders Mitchell Harrison, Michael Mosiman, and Jordan Bailey also had great days with ninth, 10th, and 12th place overall finishes.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Phil Nicoletti got a decent start in the first 450 moto but was shuffled back early in the race. He started climbing through the ranks and made it up to 16th by the seventh lap. He set a blistering pace as he continued to move through the field, and rode strong to an 10th-place finish. He was fourth at the start of the second moto and had a solid ride in the top-10. He stayed consistent and took over the eighth-place spot. He held strong to finish eighth. The 10-8 finish gave him ninth overall on the day.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">“Southwick was good,” said Nicoletti. “I rode really well but I went down twice, and it took a little wind out of my sails. It was brutally hot today. I think everyone struggled a bit. I’m still making progress and I’m feeling better. I’m going to keep working to get ready for RedBud next week."</em><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Mitchell Harrison got caught in the gate at the start of the first 250 moto, but charged his way through the field to finish 15th despite going down again during the race. He got a good start in the second moto and sat just outside the top-10. He made his way into the top-10 spot in the fifth lap, and passed teammate Jordan Bailey the following lap to take over the ninth-place spot. He rode hard to a sixth-place finish. The 15-6 finish gave him ninth overall on the day.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">“I love Southwick,” said Harrison. “I love the sand. I hit the gate in the first moto and crashed a few times. I rode like I know how to in the second moto and felt really strong. I came back to a sixth. I think this is going to give me a lot of confidence going into RedBud, which is my home race."</em><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Michael Mosiman was mid-pack at the start of the first 250 moto. He put on a charge and started advancing, making it up to 13th by the ninth lap. He continued to push and made it into the top-10 a few laps later, then put in an excellent ride to finish 10th. He went down after the start of the second moto but quickly remounted. He was coming through the pack, but went down again after jumping into an unfamiliar section of the track. He got back up and tore through the pack to ride to an 11th-place finish. The 10-11 finish gave him 10th overall on the day—his first top-10 finish of the season.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">“This was my first time at Southwick,” said Mosiman. “It was actually really fun. I had good practice times. My starts weren’t great, but I charged. The first couple of laps were brutal with the sand, but I just started moving ahead. I started 21st in the first moto and ended up 10th, so that was good. I got collected with Forkner straight out of the gate in the second moto. I started moving up but then went down after jumping into an area I wasn’t familiar with. I got up slowly and started getting the flow again. I worked my way up to 11th, and I ended up 10th overall. I’m making progress."</em><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Jordan Bailey got a good start in the first 250 moto and came out of the first lap in the top-15. He went down twice, but came back to a 13th-place finish. He got a good start in the second moto and came out of the first lap in the top-10. He stayed consistent and rode an excellent race to claim a season-best 10th place finish. The 13-10 finish gave him 12th overall on the day.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">“Southwick is a sand race, and it was brutal,” said Bailey. “I crashed twice in the first moto, but my starts were good all day. I was in sixth for a long time in the second moto then got shuffled back and ended up 10th—which is my best finish so far. I’m going to keep building every weekend, and I’m looking forward to RedBud."</em><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Next Race:</strong><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"> July 7 - RedBud National - Buchanan, MI</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Southwick National Results</strong><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">250 Class</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">1.

Additionally, 31.9% of the IMS 2016-2017 tour attendees purchased a new or used motorcycle within 12 months of attending a show.*</div>

No Joke lane to be used in all Super EnduroCross races</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Orienta, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
IRVINE, CA – June 28, 2018 – The six-round 2018 AMA EnduroCross series will kick off in Prescott Valley, Arizona on August 25, 2018. To further improve on the exciting show, a few changes have been made to the race format, including the use of the “No Joke” lane during every night show race for the Super EnduroCross (Pro) class.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Orienta, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The No Joke lane was an exciting element added in 2017 and requires the Super EnduroCross (Pro) riders to take the extremely difficult lane one time during the race. It adds some strategy to the race but was only used for the main events during 2017. For 2018, the No Joke lane will be used for the heat races and LCQ, adding more unpredictability and exciting racing to the entire night show.</div>

The qualification process will also be changed back to a more traditional two heat race format for the Super EnduroCross class. The top sixteen riders in points will be pre-qualified into the afternoon hot laps/night show and an additional ten riders will qualify into the hot laps/night show via morning qualifiers. The night show will include two Super EnduroCross heat races with a bonus championship point available to the winners. The head-to-head bracket races will also be simplified to include the top eight riders (top four from each heat race) with the bracket race winner earning an additional bonus point and first gate pick for the main event.</div>

One other change for 2018 will be the use of race time rather than laps for all races. This ensures consistent race length regardless of the length and difficulty of the track. All Super EnduroCross qualifiers and Support class main events will be four minutes plus one lap and the Super EnduroCross main event will be twelve minutes plus one lap.</div>

“The No Joke lane and bracket races added a lot of excitement to the EnduroCross races last year, so we wanted to expand and improve on those for 2018,” said Lance Bryson, Director of Special events for Bonnier Corp. “We got great feedback from fans about the EnduroCross shows and all of these changes will only make that better.”</div>

In addition to the Super EnduroCross (Pro) class, the EnduroCross series will again include Open Amateur, Vet 35+, TrialsCross and Women’s classes. The main events for these classes compete in front of packed stadiums during the night show, providing exciting action for the fans and an opportunity for everybody to compete. All the support classes include their own championship points series, as well. Riders can sign up here: https://secure.tracksideprereg.com/endurocross/</div>

<strong>SOUTHWICK, </strong>Mass. (June 30, 2018) - The Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, made its annual return to America's sandbox for the sixth round of the 2018 season - the Kubota Southwick National from The Wick 338. In the 450 Class, Team Red Bull KTM Factory Racing's Marvin Musquin emerged with his first victory of the season, ending Monster Energy Kawasaki Eli Tomac's five race win streak. In the 250 Class, Monster Energy/Yamalube/Star/Yamaha's Dylan Ferrandis prevailed to take his first career win.</div>

The first 450 moto of the day began with Autotrader/Yoshimura/Suzuki Factory Racing's Justin Bogle making his season debut by taking the Motosport.com Holeshot with Rocky Mountain ATV/MC-WPS-KTM's Blake Baggett and Musquin in tow. The lead group quickly exchanged positions in the opening corners as Team Honda HRC rider Ken Roczen shot to the lead with Monster Energy/Yamaha Factory Racing's Justin Barcia in pursuit. Championship point leader Tomac started just outside of the top-10.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Roczen's early pace kept the 40-rider field at bay as he utilized his effortless style to find the smooth lines around the whooped out sand track. On Lap 5, Barcia found his stride and made an aggressive move to overtake Roczen for the lead. Just moments later, Musquin and Tomac followed Barcia by making their way around Roczen for second and third.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
As Barcia pushed hard out front, he almost instantly began to feel the heat from Musquin and Tomac. On Lap 6, Musquin grabbed a handful of throttle and launched out of the sand pit to force his way into the lead with Tomac following just a few turns later. With a clear track ahead, Musquin and Tomac dropped the field as they set a blistering pace. </div>

As Musquin and Tomac approached the white flag, Tomac pulled alongside the Frenchman as the two riders came together with Tomac coming out on top and taking over the lead. Musquin was determined to strike back and aired out a jump on the final lap, landing off of the side of the track and going down. Tomac crossed the checkered flag to take a hard-fought moto win, while Musquin recovered for second. Barcia completed the podium a distant third.</div>

The final moto of the afternoon saw Bogle sweep the Motosport.com Holeshots, edging out the KTM duo of Musquin and Baggett. As the 40-rider field powered out of the first turn, Musquin pushed his way to the front by stealing the lead from Bogle, while Tomac made several passes on the opening lap to circulate in third.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
While Musquin pushed hard at the head of the field, Tomac refused to give an inch as he blasted by to take the lead on Lap 2. Musquin instantly made an attempt to follow Tomac's lines and keep him in sight, but the pace proved to be too quick as the defending champion pulled away. Bogle continued to show promise in his first race of the year, but was unable to hold off Roczen for third.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
As Tomac built a commanding lead over Musquin, Barcia closed in on Roczen and made the pass stick. While riding alone out front, Tomac crashed entering a corner and found himself picking up his Kawasaki, remounting just ahead of Musquin. Just as Tomac looked to be rebuilding his lead, he crashed again on Lap 9 and allowed Musquin to take the lead. Tomac remounted in second, but was unable to retain the pace he displayed early. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Musquin maintained his lead until the checkered flag and captured his third moto victory of the season with 15.4 seconds to spare on Tomac. The final podium position went to Barcia who cruised to third.</div>

The better second moto result gave Musquin the overall win (2-1) in a tiebreaker with Tomac (1-2). Barcia used consistency to complete the podium third overall (3-3).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">

"The last three races I have been feeling great and pushing towards the lead and win," said Musquin. "I felt good all day. The win does feel really good. We know what happened to Eli [Tomac] in the second moto, but a win is a win. My intensity wasn't quite there, so I was just trying to be consistent and keep it on two wheels."</div>

The opening 250 Class moto saw Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/KTM's Shane McElrath jump out of the gate to take the Motosport.com Holeshot ahead of Autotrader/Yoshimura/Suzuki Factory Racing's Jimmy Decotis and Monster Energy/Yamalube/Star/Yamaha rider Justin Cooper. The opening lap witnessed McElrath take off sprinting in an effort to open a cushion over Decotis and Cooper who battled bar-to-bar.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
McElrath attacked the track with pure aggression during the early stages of the race and quickly pulled away, while Cooper began knocking on the door of the Massachusetts-native Decotis. With heavy pressure from the riders behind him, Cooper used an outside line to blast his way around Decotis, followed by Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki's Austin Forkner, shuffling Decotis out of a podium position. Forkner continued his charge to the front and inched onto the rear tire of Cooper, eventually making the pass stick on Lap 5.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Out front, McElrath began to watch Forkner chip away at his advantage and within laps would find himself under heavy pressure in the battle for the lead. On Lap 9, Forkner overtook McElrath for the lead, while a crash by Cooper allowed Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/KTM's Alex Martin to inherit third.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
As Forkner had clear track out front, the battle for second began to intensify as McElrath was passed by his teammate Martin and Monster Energy/Yamalube/Star/Yamaha's Aaron Plessinger. Forkner held off the hard charging Martin to take his first moto win of the season by 1.2 seconds. Plessinger completed the podium in third.</div>

In the final 250 moto it was once again McElrath, who emerged with Motosport.com Holeshot, followed closely by GEICO Honda's RJ Hampshire and Forkner. The intensity was high right from the start of the moto, which saw Forkner and Hampshire squeeze by McElrath for the top positions. McElrath struck back on Hampshire to retake control of second before the completion of the opening lap. Martin was credited with fourth on the opening lap, while championship point leader Plessinger started just inside of the top-10.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Forkner controlled the pace out front, but McElrath kept him within sight as he gave chase and worked tirelessly to keep his teammate Martin behind. The KTM teammates pulled side-by-side several times, and on Lap 7, Martin's relentless efforts paid off as he muscles his way around the outside for second.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
As the riders reached the halfway point of the 30-minute-plus-two-lap moto, Forkner held the lead over Martin who began to close the gap. With just under five minutes remaining, Ferrandis mounted a charge and passed McElrath for third. As the battle for the lead tightened up, Martin dove to the inside of Forkner, making contact and sending both riders to the ground. The crash allowed Ferrandis to take the lead, followed by McElrath and Hampshire.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Ferrandis maintained his lead in the final laps and held off McElrath to take his second moto victory of the season by 0.8 of a second. Hampshire landed on the podium for the first time this season with an impressive third. Martin remounted to finish fourth, while Plessinger was seventh.</div>

The 4-1 moto scores gave Ferrandis the overall victory and he became the fifth different rider to win an overall this season. Martin rebounded from his second moto mistake to finish runner-up (2-4), followed by McElrath who finished third overall (6-2).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">

"I'm so happy to finally get my first overall win today," said Ferrandis. "I've been working really hard to come back from injury, and it's always a battle, but I think that we're finally getting back to where we belong. It's really cool to see Marvin [Musquin] win today as well. I think that it's something that's very good for France and gives the fans something to cheer for."</div>

Plessinger ended up fifth overall (3-7), which was good enough to maintain his hold of the championship point lead. Martin's runner-up finish cut six points out of Plessinger's lead, which now sits at 23 points, and moved him to second in the championship. Jeremy Martin sits third, despite being unable to compete due to a season ending injury one week ago at the Tennessee National.</div>

<strong><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">SOUTHWICK</span></strong><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">, Mass. – Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Marvin Musquin earned his first 450MX overall win of the season on Saturday for Round 6 of the AMA Pro Motocross Championship in Southwick, Massachusetts. With combined moto scores of 2-1, Musquin outlasted his competition late in the day despite the brutally rough and unpredictable track conditions at the Southwick National.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Musquin qualified fastest in the 450MX class, setting himself up for a positive start to the day’s racing. In Moto 1, he powered his KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION to a third-place position start and inserted himself into the early lead battle before taking the reins on lap six. Musquin maintained the lead position until two laps to go, when Eli Tomac finally made the pass. On the final lap, Musquin put on a hard charge to reclaim the lead but he tucked the front end taking an outside line through the loose soil and went over the bars. He was able to quickly remount and maintain his second-place position in Moto 1.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">In Moto 2, Musquin got off to a great start as he jumped into the lead on the opening lap. He got passed by Tomac on lap two but he continued to fight early on to keep himself close to the leader. After a couple of big mistakes by Tomac, Musquin was able to capitalize and put himself back into the lead just after the halfway point. From there, he kept a steady pace all the way to the checkers, earning his second-straight Moto 2 victory. </span></div>

<strong><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Musquin: </span></strong><em><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">“It’s not always the fastest guy that wins the race and we saw it today. It was really demanding and tough out there, and physically it was rough and hot. In the first moto, I was leading a few laps and it was awesome but when you know Eli is behind you it’s not easy, but I kept pushing. He finally got me at the end and I was going to give a fight back but unfortunately, I went down. Second moto, I got a good start but it was hard for me to push super hard in the first few laps, my intensity wasn’t quite there and Eli was gone. But then, at the end of the day, he made mistakes and I was able to capitalize on that and stay consistent, stay on two wheels and ride to the finish.”</span></em></div>

Thankfully the rain that almost washed out the 2017 edition of the fixture did not afflict a busy twelfth round of the 2018 campaign but conditions were tough for the riders with high humidity, temperatures around thirty degrees and a very rutty and rough course to negotiate.<br /><br /><strong>MXGP</strong><br /><br /><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.ktm.com/racing/mx/riders/jeffrey-herlings/&source=gmail&ust=1530572691619000&usg=AFQjCNGnXldy2g9v4esp-YZPu-V0MesdOw" href="http://www.ktm.com/racing/mx/riders/jeffrey-herlings/" style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Jeffrey Herlings</a> again made headlines.

The Championship leader talked of settling for points and “damage control” in Indonesia but ran to Pole Position on Saturday and then posted a strong and surprising results sheet of 2-1 in the sweaty motos on Sunday.<br /><br />Once again Herlings’ most direct rival was teammate and reigning world champion <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.ktm.com/racing/mx/riders/tony-cairoli/&source=gmail&ust=1530572691619000&usg=AFQjCNHyX_pIhA4ZYd4pvqnF4Nfi-QDh9A" href="http://www.ktm.com/racing/mx/riders/tony-cairoli/" style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Tony Cairoli</a>. The Sicilian won the first race (his sixth chequered flag of the year and from 23 motos) but suffered from several mistakes in the second outing. The veteran rode superbly to close a gap to front-running Herlings – who made a dramatic Grand Prix finale by crashing with three laps remaining – but then made a error immediately after assuming the lead and damaged the front brake and had to deal with an injured thumb. Herlings was able to retake control and his second race spoils (his seventeenth win in ’18) meant a ninth triumph of the term. The duo continues to be split by just 12 points.<br /><br /><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.ktm.com/racing/mx/riders/glenn-coldenhoff/&source=gmail&ust=1530572691619000&usg=AFQjCNE54AeYZwPgxNKX1KztsN5sg5WhoA" href="http://www.ktm.com/racing/mx/riders/glenn-coldenhoff/" style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Glenn Coldenhoff</a>’s 7-5 gave Red Bull KTM three 450 SX-Fs in the overall top six as the Dutchman again recorded a solid haul of points.<br /><br /><strong>Herlings</strong>: <em>“I’m very happy with the weekend and we couldn't have dreamed it would have gone like this just two and a half week after breaking my collarbone. I wasn't sure I would be able to race here so to come out with a win is pretty amazing. I lost a bit of feeling on the bike with the surgery and lack of bike time but physically I was OK and we’ll work to come back to 100%. Injury is part of this game when we are pushing. We’ll try and get the best out of the situation next week now.”</em><br /><br /><strong>Cairoli</strong>: <em>“Overall a good weekend except for the pain I have in my thumb. I hope it will get better but I worried it might be something I’ll have to deal with for a few weeks. When Jeffrey and I pushed we were able to make a big difference over the others and at a high level. Jeffrey made a very good race on his comeback from injury. I had a crash on the third lap of the second moto but came back and had the lead but made another mistake, which cost me the win and hurt my thumb. I hope it will be a bit better for next week. The gap in the championship has stayed the same so overall I’m happy.”</em><br /><br /><strong>Coldenhoff</strong>: <em>“I felt really good all weekend but it was really difficult to do something here if you don't get the start you need. At one point I was pushing so hard I was going backwards! I was making too mistakes but eventually found my flow and went from 15th to 7th. It wasn't that bad but we are working for more and the second moto was a little better. I passed some ‘big players’ to again make sixth overall – again! – but I feel like I am consistent and we are up there pushing the top five every weekend. Next weekend will be tough as well but physically I am pretty strong and on a good pace.”</em><br /><br /><strong>MX2</strong><br /><br /><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.ktm.com/racing/mx/riders/jorge-prado/&source=gmail&ust=1530572691619000&usg=AFQjCNFY-1VAS-SbIgNBEXI3OdbdffXXMQ" href="http://www.ktm.com/racing/mx/riders/jorge-prado/" style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Jorge Prado</a> closed the gap to teammate <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.ktm.com/racing/mx/riders/pauls-jonass/&source=gmail&ust=1530572691619000&usg=AFQjCNFcFrHoK4oF0kAA1bfRE739DjCylQ" href="http://www.ktm.com/racing/mx/riders/pauls-jonass/" style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Pauls Jonass</a> at the top of the MX2 championship with his tenth podium appearance of the 2018 MX2 campaign on the <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.ktm.com/mx/250-sx-f-1/&source=gmail&ust=1530572691619000&usg=AFQjCNEBiSBRpcQVIUBCElWl5xs0yVIOQQ" href="http://www.ktm.com/mx/250-sx-f-1/" style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">KTM 250 SX-F.</a> The Spaniard made a 4-3 across the rough dirt to finish 3rd overall; the result allowed the teenager to creep up to just 7 points in the standings after Jonass’ 2-7 at Pangkal Pinang. The reigning champion had a strong first moto but was swamped in a frantic five rider fight for second position in the second sprint and classified 5th for the day.<br /><br /><strong>Prado</strong>: <em>“It was a great weekend. I’ve been training well but this is such a difficult sport and on a track like this anything can happen so you also need some luck. The track was soft today so you had to ride with a lot of power and it was easy to feel off balance. I’m happy to leave here healthy and to keep being consistent. The track next week looks to be really nice. They say it will be warmer but I hope the humidity is less! It will be a new challenge anyway.”</em><br /><br /><strong>Jonass</strong>: <em>“The weekend didn't go as smoothly as I wanted. In the first moto I felt really good actually and made some good passes and was doing well physically in the heat. I had a fast start in the second moto but after 10-15 minutes I just hit a wall. I struggled with the track and was pushing too hard; it is one of those places where if you almost try too much then you go backwards and that was the main problem for me. Our goal is to win the championship but I am trying not to focus on that, maybe it is in the back of my mind somewhere. We’ll have a week here now in Indonesia so I have time to put some thoughts in the right places.”</em><br /><br />The majority of the MXGP paddock will remain in Indonesia this week and head south and east of Jakarta to Semarang for the second stop in the country and round thirteen of the series.<br /><br /><strong>Next race: Grand Prix of Asia, Semarang, July 8th</strong><br /><br /><strong>Results MXGP Pangkal Pinang 2018</strong><br /><br /><strong>1.

Peick rode with fervor in both motos, nailing two top-five starts and maintaining position for many laps despite several torn tendons in his hand. “The Viking” held off the challenges from several riders and eventually settled in for 6-6 moto scores for sixth overall. He is also sixth in the point standings. </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The Autotrader/ Yoshimura/ Suzuki Factory Racing Team is also elated to announce that Justin Hill will contest the remaining rounds of the 2018 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship on the all-new Suzuki RM-Z450. After making a statement these past two weekends, the Yoncalla, Oregon native was looking to follow-up a top-five overall from High Point with an even better finish in Tennessee. Hill logged the fifth-fastest qualifying time on Saturday, but he was slowed by a nasty spill in the final qualifying session. He soldiered on with his #46 RM-Z450 to earn two top-10 results for seventh overall. Even with his brief time in the 450 class, Hill has quickly climbed up to just outside the top ten in points, at 13th. </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Racers and fans alike might have thought that Decotis was going to miss the entire 2018 National series after suffering fractures in his back and ribs in March. However, the word “quit” is not in Decotis’ vocabulary. The Massachusetts native improved with every lap on the Muddy Creek circuit, the highlight being a 12th place finish in the second moto. The team expects Decotis’ finishes to improve with each moto. </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><strong style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Weston Peick [450 Class, 6-6 for 6th Place]:</strong><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">“I had two good starts and was running at the front in both motos. Overall, I rode well. My hand is still a problem, though. I have about 15 minutes in me before I lose the feeling in it. When that happens, I get ‘whiskey throttle’ and my hand blows off the handlebars. Other than that, the series has been going well. I have good speed. My plan is to grind it out every weekend and put in solid finishes. People expect me to finish motos, and that’s what I have been doing. Sixth overall isn’t where I want to finish, but I’m collecting points. </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">“This week the team will head to a few sand tracks near JGRMX and get a feel for the sand. Southwick will probably be one of the most difficult tracks for my hand, so I’ll develop a game plan and prepare as much as I can this week.” </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><strong style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Justin Hill [450 Class, 8-7 for 7th Place]:</strong><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">“My day wasn’t terrible, but it could have been better. I had a practice crash that took the wind out of my sails for the motos. I’m bummed because I was hoping to make a big improvement from High Point last weekend. I felt better at Muddy Creek and a lot closer to the front guys in practice. Seventh place isn’t the worst finish in the world, though. I’m building, and we made a couple of good changes to the RM-Z450 with the chassis. I’m just a bit upset about the racing because I wanted to make a jump in my progress. </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">“I am excited that I get to race the Suzuki RM-Z450 for the rest of the National series! I have seven more races to be a podium guy and show people that I can be successful outdoors. I’m looking forward to it.” </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><strong style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Jimmy Decotis [250 Class, 17-12 for 15th Place]:</strong><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">“It was great to be at the races. I’m thankful that I was able to return at Muddy Creek. Honestly, after breaking my back I wasn’t sure whether I’d even be able to race this summer. It was a long road to get here. I’m so thankful to be with the Autotrader/ Yoshimura/ Suzuki Factory program and have access to the therapy at JGRMX. To come away with points in both motos is a good start, but the finishes aren’t where I want to be. Taking the positives away, I was really fit and strong in both motos. Now I just need to get the speed. I figured that would happen, because I was off the bike for three-and-a-half months, and I was in a lot of pain during those first few weeks on the bike. Only lately have I started to get that aggression back. It will take time, but Southwick should boost my confidence. The goal is to put on a show for my New England fans. I’m blessed that Suzuki has given me the opportunity to race the Nationals and that they understand that it’s going to take some time to get where I need to be.” </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><strong style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Jeremy Albrecht [Team Manager]: </strong><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">“It was cool to have Jimmy Decotis back. He improved every time his Dunlop tyres hit the dirt. It was nice to see him fighting hard and trying hard. His fitness was surprisingly good for being off the bike for so long. We knew he was coming back to the races a little bit early, but his health is good. Now he needs time on the bike. The best place to get better is at the races. Jimmy is excited to race at his home National in Southwick so it will be fun to watch him in the sand. </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">“Regarding the 450 guys, Weston Peick fought hard and rode strong. He definitely could do better if he didn’t have his hurt hand. That’s the only thing holding him back. Justin Hill fell in practice and wasn’t feeling as good as he usually does, but he had a good ride. We want podiums, but we are getting close. Now we just need a few things to go our way.” </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The 2018 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship will continue this upcoming Saturday, June 30th at the sands of Southwick, Massachusetts for the sixth round of the series. </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><strong style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Muddy Creek Image Gallery</strong><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> (BrownDogWilson): </span><a href="https://www.suzuki-racing.com/amamx/series_gallery.aspx" style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; transition: all 0.5s ease-in-out;">CLICK HERE FOR PHOTOS</a><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><strong style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Championship points</strong><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">: </span><a href="https://www.suzuki-racing.com/amamx/series_points.aspx" style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; transition: all 0.5s ease-in-out;">CLICK HERE</a><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><strong style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Full results and points:</strong><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span><a href="http://www.allisports.com/motocross/race-results" style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; transition: all 0.5s ease-in-out;">CLICK HERE</a><span style="font-family: suzukiproregularregular, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span></span><br />

<strong>MORGANTOWN</strong>, W.Va. (June 26, 2018) - The final step in qualifying for the 37th Annual Rocky Mountain ATV/MC AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship presented by Lucas Oil, ended this past weekend as the final two Regional Championships took place. Amateur racers throughout the country have been on the #RoadToLorettas for the past few months competing to qualify for the world's largest and most prestigious amateur motocross race at the iconic Loretta Lynn Ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee.</div>

"It's nearly time to get ready for the final stop on the annual Road To Loretta's. As the Regional Championships finish up this weekend, families across the country will be making the final preparations and packing up the trucks, RVs and motorhomes to head to Hurricane Mills in a few short weeks," said MX Sports Director Tim Cotter. "We look forward to hosting the families at the world's greatest motocross vacation as well as a week of competition before crowning 35 National Champions."</div>

Founded in 1924, the AMA is a not-for-profit member-based association whose mission is to promote the motorcycle lifestyle and protect the future of motorcycling. As the world's largest motorcycling rights and event sanctioning organization, the AMA advocates for riders' interests at all levels of government and sanctions thousands of competition and recreational events every year. The AMA also provides money-saving discounts on products and services for its members. Through the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame in Pickerington, Ohio, the AMA honors the heroes and heritage of motorcycling.

Thirteen women lined up to compete on the challenging track, which features plenty of natural elevation changes. Although the track was fairly slippery during practice, by the time the motos came around riders had said that it was "pretty much perfect."</div>

Shelby Rolen, a longtime WMX competitor, took home both her first-ever moto win and first-ever WMX overall win at High Point Raceway! She went 3-1, which was just enough to edge out current points leader Jordan Jarvis' 1-3 finish. Following her in third place was Jamie Astudillo with a 5-2 finish.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
After the gate dropped for moto one, it was Kylie Fasnacht with the holeshot, followed by Jamie Astudillo, Jordan Jarvis and Shelby Rolen chasing her down. Rolen and Jarvis locked bars battling for the third place spot, and both narrowly avoided crashing. Rolen was able to pass Astudillo quickly and move into second for a brief period of time, before being passed in turn by Jarvis.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Fasnacht was able to keep Jarvis bottled up for a decent chunk of the moto. Eventually Jarvis made a pass, and Fasnacht stayed relatively close, but not close enough to make a pass before the checkered flag waved. Rolen got a little bit too relaxed in the first moto, falling off the pace of the leaders by a significant amount, but still riding well enough to finish third in the moto.</div>

Astudillo did not appear to be riding up to her usual standard in the first moto. She ended up dropping all the way back to fifth, her lowest moto finish of the season. On the other hand, Marissa Polencheck charged her way up from a second corner crash for a season-best moto finish of fourth place. Eve Brodeur, Amanda Brown, Amanda Henderson, Cheyenne McGuin and Morgan Johnson rounded out the top 10.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
In the second moto, Fasnacht again took the holeshot, with Jarvis right behind her. In an attempt to pass Fasnacht, Jarvis hit the "quadzilla" jump in the back stretch. She was the only WMX racer to attempt to quad the jump, and though she landed it cleanly, she carried too much momentum into the next corner. She overshot it and her front tire lodged in some deep mud, sending her over the bars.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
While this was problematic for Jarvis, Fasnacht would have even worse luck. About halfway through the moto, her timing chain broke, turning a possible moto win into a DNF, and dropping her back to eleventh overall for the day. She said that "it's a total bummer" but that these things do happen and it's a part of racing. With Fasnacht out, and Jarvis on the ground, this left Rolen and Astudillo, who had shaken off her earlier bad moto, battling for the moto win.</div>

Rolen would take that win, aided by another crash by Jarvis who was struggling to make her way back through the pack. According to Rolen, "I wasn't sure where Jordan was in the field but I knew she was charging. I had the opportunity to do something I had never done by winning a WMX moto. I just put my head down, focused on my race and was able to put some distance between myself and Jamie and bring home the moto win. I wasn't sure if that was going to give me the overall but turns out it was enough to get the job done. Bringing home my first WMX moto win and overall was the most amazing feeling and I can't thank everyone enough for all the help and support!"<em> </em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Jarvis was able to salvage a third place in the second moto despite losing massive amounts of time on the ground, which was enough to still put her in second overall. She told us, "the track was a little slick but so much fun. It was a good race and I'm ready for the next one!" Astudillo's second place moto finish was enough to compensate for her first moto finish and give her third overall. She posted, "Today was a tough one! Wasn't riding anything like myself in morning practice and moto 1, but at least we could manage a podium." before heading off to a road race the next day.</div>

Polencheck finished fourth again. Her pair of fourth also gave her a fourth place finish in the overall, while Brodeur took the final top five spot in the moto, also finishing fifth overall. Henderson, Johnson, McGuin, Jaden Carlson and Taylor Schuck rounded out the top ten. </div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Oxygen, Tahoma, Arial; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
Moto 2 started with Blake again working his way from outside the top ten after the first lap. As with moto one, the Hurly-supported rider charged his way to the front, taking the checkered flag in 5th place. His 4-5 score earned Blake 5th overall and 5th place in championship points.</div>

Moto 1 saw Benny use that speed to get a good jump off the gate and end the first lap just outside the top ten. He quickly worked his way into the top ten and while running a solid 7th place he went down with four laps to go, costing him two spots. He would remount and eventually finish the moto in 9th place.</div>

In moto 2, another good jump off the gate propelled Benny to 4th place at the end of lap one. The WP Suspension-supported rider battled inside the top ten the entire moto, taking the checkered flag in 8th place. His 9-8 score earned him 9th overall, and Benny continues to hold down 7th place in championship points.</div>

Former series’ points leader Jeremy Martin won the first moto of the 2018 Tennessee National, but then collided with Justin Cooper on the first lap of the second moto, which led to a massive crash and a severe back injury. The injury will end Martin’s bid for a third AMA 250 National Motocross Championship, but he is expected to make a full recovery. Martin suffered <span class="yiv1601629102" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">a burst fracture of his L1 vertebrae</span>, and is being attended to at Bristol hospital near the track. He will undergo <span class="yiv1601629102" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1529327935281_3657" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">back surgery on Monday, June 25th. Recovery time is expected to be around two months, and Martin should be able to begin therapy almost immediately after surgery. </span></span></span></div>

But I was excited with my first lap. I made a lot of passes. I think I was in third for most of the second moto. I actually saw Dylan [Ferrandis] and Alex [Martin] in front of me. I started catching them a little bit. I had no idea Shane [McElrath, overall race winner] was behind me. He came out of nowhere and blew by me, and then from there on it was pretty much it. These guys rode good. The track was pretty good. It was a little tough to pass, but it was fun. I’m happy to get my first podium. It wasn’t the moto scores that I like to have, but third is third. So, it’s been good.”</span></div>

Second moto had a decent start but when Jeremy and Cooper went down I hit someone and went way off the track. Was able to come through the pack pretty well and had a good battle going with Jordon Smith for about the last six or seven laps. Had a pass on him on the last lap and he jumped across the track where he hadn’t gone the entire race and we hit in the air. I hit the ground hard and I’m pretty beat up! Even if I hadn’t passed him, I would have had an overall podium spot, so the crash situation really bummed me out. We will do all we can this week to be on the gate next weekend.” </span></div>
