ROUND 2/MAY 25, 2013 THUNDER VALLEY MX PARK/LAKEWOOD, COLORADO MOTOCROSS P62 LUCAS OIL AMA PRO MOTOCROSS CHAMPIONSHIP (Left) GP star Clement Desalle of Belgium put in a strong showing. (Right) Rookie Cooper Webb passed former World champ Marvin Musquin for third in the first moto but crashed in the second. going to cut it. It was a rough day, but it's a long season. I made lots of mistakes today and I have a lot going on right now. Those guys sprinted fast today and it just wasn't my day." CN Tomac said. "I got a good start and got to the early lead in that second moto and that is everything. Some days you wake up on the right side of the bed and you just click. I had the jitters at Hangtown as it was the first race and all, but I feel that I'm getting better with age and experience and I feel stronger. It was huge for me that Zach passed Ken on that last lap for some more points for me. I was trying to watch them too and could see he was catching him." "It's only been a few minutes and everyone is making a big deal about this already," laughed Roczen after finishing third in the moto and second overall on the day. "I'm not going to change my program because of one moto. I'm going to come back swinging. We only had 30 or 40 minutes break and had to go back out. I went off the track once and Zach got by me fair and square. I will be fine and will get back to my program this week." Roczen added that he got a little winded in the higher elevation, where Tomac is quite used to the thin air. With his second moto finish, Osborne would capture third overall. "The track was unreal and I saw the fans cheering me on, and I made the last-lap pass on Roczen, and this was my best moto finish ever," Osborne said. "My fitness is good, but it was still a tough day. I knew I had to pass Roczen and get second to be on the podium for the overall." Musquin held on for fourth, while Baggett - this time getting a better start - kept plugging away and would eventually pass Jeremy Martin in the closing laps for fifth. Musquin wasn't pleased with his results. "Everyone is going fast and a 4-4 is bad because I want to be on the podium every week." Despite dealing with an injured wrist, Baggett made no excuses. "I struggled today and went down in moto one," he said. "A 9-5 isn't RESULTS 450 NATIONAL OVERALL 1. Ryan Villopoto (Kaw) 1-1 2. Ryan Dungey (KTM) 2-2 3. Justin Barcia (Hon) 3-4 4.
