riding before the Pro Motocross
season even started, but the leg had
apparently not completely healed,
and the riding was preventing it
from healing, so he had to basically
start over and let it heal the rest of
the way. He got a good start in the
first moto and showed good speed,
but ultimately finished 10th in the
first moto. Grant didn't line up for
moto two, citing ankle soreness, but
said, "We'll take advantage of the
weekend off and let the ankle rest
a little more and be ready to go for
Unadilla. I'm just happy to be back
racing."

AutoTrader/Yoshimura Suzuki's
Justin Bogle grabbed two holeshots
at Washougal, bringing his record to
six of eight since he returned to rac-

about halfway through the second
moto and dropped out of the race.
And his teammate Justin Hill was at
essentially his home race, since he
and his older brother Josh grew up
in the Pacific Northwest and were
no strangers to Washougal MX Park.
Justin Hill led the first moto on his
way to fourth place and was running
a very strong third in the second
moto when he went down and also
dropped out of the race.
