I
t was a weird day of racing at the
Colorado MX National, round
three of the Lucas Oil AMA Pro
Motocross Championships. The
first motos were hindered, and
even halted, by inclement weather,
while the second motos were held
under the sunshine on a track in
pretty fantastic racing condition.
This is what it's like sometimes in
the Rockies.
And, after having an off day
at the Pala MX National a week
ago (where he still landed on the
podium), Ken Roczen (Honda
HRC) returned to winning form.
He dominated moto one by over
a half-minute, and then cruised
in for the overall with a second
place in moto two, matching his
winning Hangtown score from
round one and taking the points
lead back.
In the 250MX class, Monster
Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki's
Adam Cianciarulo made it three
in a row at Thunder Valley Race-
way, grabbing second in the first
lightning-shortened moto, then
winning the second moto to take
the overall.
450MX
Zach Osborne (Rockstar Energy
Husqvarna) grabbed the holeshot
to start moto one, but Roczen put
in an early sprint to take the lead
and began to sprint away, eventu-
ally winning by over 30 seconds,
