MOTOCROSS LUCAS OIL AMA PRO MOTOCROSS CHAMPIONSHIPS ROUND 8 / JULY 20, 2019 SPRING CREEK RACEWAY / MILLVILLE, MINNESOTA P68 close enough to really challenge Webb out front, and Webb won by approximately 12 seconds over Tomac and Webb's team- mate Marvin Musquin. Then came Rockstar Energy Husqvar- na's Zach Osborne, Paulson Rock/FXR Racing KTM's Henry Miller, TPJ Racing Honda's John Short, JGR/Yoshimura Suzuki Factory Racing's Freddie Noren, Savatgy, Monster Energy Ya- maha's Aaron Plessinger, Rocky Mountain ATV-MC KTM's Justin Bogle, Justin Barcia, Jason An- derson (who went down twice on the opening lap), Dean Wilson, Benny Bloss and Blake Baggett. Webb grabbed the holeshot outright in moto two, but this time was joined out front by Roczen (who could only mus- IIIMY OWN RACE: being docked one posi on for not ge ng on the track sooner a er he was forced off in the first turn to start the race. S ll, it's his first podium of 2019, and first on a Suzuki. "I'm definitely bummed about that," Mar n said of his penalty. "I was close to ge ng the holeshot, but I came off the track, and I went down that road, and I was like, 'Gaahhh! Where do I get on?!' There was no place to get on before that table [jump], and I slowed down, and I let a few people by, but I didn't know how many people I had to let by. But, man, I felt awesome out there. That's the best I've felt in a long, long me." 16 ZACH OSBORNE 2ND 250MX (4-3) Zach Osborne missed the RedBud round with an injured SC joint in his shoul- der, but despite being less than 100%, he returned to ac on at Millville and snagged second overall. "It's been tough," Osborne said of his injury. "It was a good day, though. I have to give it up to the Lord for this miracle healing that I have. I mean, to separate my SC joint, which was a pre y big deal, two weeks ago, and then to come here and get on the podium, is pre y miraculous. I'm just glad to be here. There was a point where I wasn't sure if I could keep going. I've only done one moto and about 10 minutes of another [moto] at home, since the crash, so it's been tough. This track was super-gnarly with a lot of G- outs and real heavy loads on the body, and that's when my collarbone started to weaken, and my arm lost strength. I'm just so grateful." Perhaps the big winner on the day was third-place finisher Eli Tomac who stretched out his points lead over Marvin Musquin. Nothing went right for Ken Roczen in the first 450MX moto, but he rebounded in the second.
