LUCAS OIL AMA PRO MOTOCROSS CHAMPIONSHIP
ROUND 2 / AUGUST 22, 2020
LORETTA LYNN RANCH / HURRICANE MILLS, TENNESSEE
P62
(Left) Fill-in rider Broc Tickle
made it a Monster Energy Yamaha
1-2 in the first 450MX moto. A 2-9
gave the veteran fourth overall.
(Below) Defending champ Eli
Tomac had a miserable day. Bad
starts (which included a second-
moto first-turn get-off) resulted
in two DNFs. Tomac stressed his
bike just too hard in the mud to
get to the front, and his engine
overheated. The first DNF wasn't
too bad, though. He had lapped
so many riders that when his bike
quit on the last lap while running
fifth, he was credited with ninth.
The second moto he was eighth,
after clipping teammate Adam
Cianciarulo's rear wheel in the
first turn and going down, when
his bike came to a stop two laps
from the end. This time, he was
credited with 24th, which meant
no points for that moto. Tomac
now has a lot of catching up to
do to if he's going to keep the
number-one plate for a fourth
straight year.
