MONSTER ENERGY AMA SUPERCROSS
the starts, so tonight, I was very
confident on my starting gate,
and to get a holeshot tonight was
super-important. It was time."
Musquin led Monster Energy
Kawasaki teammates Joey Savat-
gy and Tomac early, but Savatgy
crashed out of second when he
over-shot the finish-line jump.
Then Tomac came under attack
"It's been a long time com-
ing, but I've been trying my best
every weekend," Musquin said.
"Some weekends, some races,
I was never in a really great
position off the starts, and some
others I [started well] but I wasn't
able to make it happen. Maybe in
some races my speed was good,
but I couldn't make it happen off
Once again,
Cooper Webb
salvaged a
good finish
despite having
a rough night.
I surprised myself, but I kind of
surprised myself tonight. I stayed
pretty calm all day, patient. I didn't
really let being off the pace a little
bit in practice frustrate me, I just
stayed focused, used my positive
thinking and good mentality and it
was a good race. It was a solid race
for the first race back."
HEELING UP
Aaron Plessinger had surgery on
his broken left heel that he suffered
in his big crash at the Daytona Su-
percross. Early reports are that he's
shooting for a return for round one
of the AMA Nationals in mid-May.
NEWENBURG
Mitchell Oldenburg became a father
right before the Indianapolis Super-
cross, when his son, Ryker Alan
Oldenburg, was born, and then Old-
enburg jetted off to Indiana where
he ran third late in the main event,
only for his teammate Justin Cooper
to sneak by and steal the podium
away on the last lap. Oldenburg
indicated on his Instagram account
that he thought he could cruise in
for third place and didn't realize his
teammate was so close on the last
lap.
BIRTHDAY BOY
Chad Reed turned 37 the Friday
before the Indianapolis Supercross.
He qualified decently during the
daytime, less than a second off
the lead time in ninth, and battled
up front in his heat race, finishing
fourth, but a fall on lap two of the
Indianapolis main event left him
coming through the pack to eventu-
ally finish 11th, the last racer on the
lead lap.
