SUPERCROSS ROUND 15 / APRIL 13, 2019 DENVER, COLORADO / BRONCOS STADIUM AT MILE HIGH P68 MONSTER ENERGY AMA SUPERCROSS iii My Own Race: 39 COLT NICHOLS 3RD 250SX WEST Colt Nichols often struggles at altitude, but that didn't happen this time in Denver. "Press Day got canceled, so we didn't get to do any riding, but it was good; I got to come in early, adjust to the altitude a little bit," Nichols said. "It usually kind of messes with me. I get sick every year when we come to Lakewood, so I was really happy that did not happen this year. But, it was definitely different. It snowed during the practices, and then the track got really hard. The track was pretty simple, but it made it really technical the way the dirt was, so you kind of had to be on your toes tonight. But, overall, can't complain; third place, I'm happy. We just needed to start a little better, but it's all good." 36 MICHAEL MOSIMAN 5TH 250SX WEST Michael Mosiman spent the first six laps of the Denver 250SX main event battling for the lead with points leader Adam Cianciarulo. He eventually finished fifth. "I was able to get off to good starts tonight, and I think that's what has really changed for me this second half of the season," Mosiman said. "To be able to get out front and lead some laps felt really good and was a huge confidence booster. It was a big-time learning experience, and I was able to cherish the moment and stay relaxed through- out the race." Ferrandis' teammate Colt Nichols finished third just in front of Geico Honda's RJ Hampshire and Mosiman in fifth. CN 450SX 1. Eli Tomac (Kaw) 2. Cooper Webb (KTM) 3. Marvin Musquin (KTM) 4.
