EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. / METLIFE STADIUM

MONSTER ENERGY AMA SUPERCROSS
isn't a 450SX Champion quite
yet, but unless the unthinkable
happens between now and the
checkered flag in Las Vegas
next Saturday night, Webb will
be the new SX champ.
"The track was difficult, you
want to charge but stay in your
comfort zone," Webb said. "I
definitely got two gifts there
[Tomac and Osborne crashing].
I felt like they were faster than
me and catching me; you know
they are doing something on
the track better, but you don't
know what. It's crazy how it all
played out."
DECIDER
The final round of the 2019 Monster
Energy AMA Supercross Series will
decide this year's 450SX Champion,
but many positions in the top 10 are
pretty much locked up. Ken Roczen
has fourth place clinched, as does
Blake Baggett in fifth. It will be tough
for Joey Savatgy to catch the injured
Dean Wilson for sixth, but it's doable.
Savatgy is 15 points behind Wilson
(who won't be racing in Vegas) in
seventh. Cole Seely is within striking
distance of Savatgy, too; Seely's 14
points back in eighth. Justin Bogle is
currently ninth with 158 points, Justin
Barcia (out for the season) is 10
th
with
154 points, and right behind him are
the injured Chad Reed and Justin
Brayton, both with 151 points. Justin
Hill is next closest with 148 points.
Reed says he hopes to race in
Vegas. Second in the championship,
however, is very much up for grabs.
Tomac holds the position with 335
points followed by Marvin Musquin
with 327.
ON THE LINE
There will be a lot on the line in the
250SX class at Vegas. Both the East
and West Championship divisions
will be decided, and both are close.
Adam Cianciarulo leads the West by
Briefly...
Webb let
everything play
into his hands,
once again. Zach
Osborne (16) and
Blake Baggett
(4) kept things
interesting.
