CHAMPIONSHIP
VOL. 56 ISSUE 15 APRIL 16, 2019 P55
in the Rocky Mountains. Cooper
Webb (Red Bull KTM) led the title
chase by 21 points over Eli Tomac
(Monster Energy Kawasaki) and
Webb's teammate Marvin Musquin
coming into round 15, the duo tied
for second in the championship.
Webb and Tomac got into it early
with some aggressive racing in their
450SX heat race before lining up
for the main event.
There, Musquin got the hole-
shot he needed, but Tomac was
absolutely on fire, going from just
outside the top five to second place
within just a couple laps, and then
catching and passing Musquin for
the lead before pulling away to what
seemed to be a routine, easy vic-
tory. Behind him, Webb was going
to work, but not nearly as quickly
or decisively as Tomac did before
him. Webb was behind Tomac on
the start, and it took him a hand-
ful of laps to get by Justin Bogle
(Rocky Mountain ATV-MC KTM) for
fourth and then even longer to get
by Tomac's teammate Joey Savatgy
for third.
Denver, winning the race to extend
his points lead to eight with only one
round left in the 250SX Western
Regional Supercross Championship.
That round, in Las Vegas, will be
the second East/West Shootout of
the year, and Cianciarulo likes Las
Vegas.
450SX
The 2019 Monster Energy Super-
cross Series is coming down to the
wire, and with three rounds left to
go, the series hit Denver's Broncos
Stadium at Mile High to test the
top supercross racers in the world
in the thin, cold air of early spring
