ROUND 7 / JULY 6, 2019
BUCHANAN, MICHIGAN / REDBUD RACEWAY
P56
Hampshire, Ferrandis' team-
mates Justin Cooper and Ty
Masterpool. Cianciarulo was
awarded fifth.
In moto two, Martin was
determined to get back out front
again, and he did, grabbing
the holeshot over Ferrandis's
teammate Colt Nichols, Ferran-
to Monster Energy/Pro Circuit
Kawasaki's points leader Adam
Cianciarulo, but he was docked
two positions after the race for
two different off-track excursions
where he failed to let off of the
throttle as mandated by AMA
rules. This meant that officially
the race went to Ferrandis over
250MX
In the 250MX class, it was all
Ferrandis. The Frenchman led
every lap of moto one after a
rare good start. JGR/Yoshimura
Suzuki's Alex Martin, however,
was giving him fits in the early
laps in what was a very strong
ride for. Unfortunately, Martin's
motorcycle began smoking with
a few laps to go, but he still held
second until getting passed
by Geico Honda's RJ Hamp-
shire with a lap to go. And then
tragedy struck when Martin's
RM-Z250 finally quit on him,
having lost all of its coolant due
to a loose radiator hose, only
three turns from the finish line
while he was running third. This
gave the position (on the track)
The RedBud fans had
second-moto winner
Marvin Musquin's back.
