IIIMY OWN RACE: really liked that, and I really liked that. I charged as hard as I could un l the end of the race and clicked off a lot of passes and wound up in sixth place." SUPERCROSS MONSTER ENERGY AMA SUPERCROSS SERIES, AN FIM WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 7 / FEBRUARY 13, 2021 CAMPING WORLD STADIUM / ORL ANDO, FLORIDA P54 450SX The 450SX main event started off neck and neck with Zach Osborne (Rockstar Energy Husqvarna) grabbing the holeshot just ahead of Justin Brayton (Muc Off Honda) and Roczen. Osborne led the pack through the finish line on lap one but gave up the lead on lap two. A costly mistake through the whoops allowed Brayton and Roczen to slip by Osborne, with the number-10 machine of Brayton's taking over the lead position. As Osborne slid back, Webb found himself in third place and fast closing in on the front group. Webb tripled through the last rhythm section before the finish and made a two-for-one pass on the Honda riders. 18 JASON ANDERSON 8TH 450SX Jason Anderson (Rockstar Energy Husqvarna) was eighth in the 450SX main but saw posi ves from the night. "It was an improvement all around for me today," Anderson said. "My prac ces were be er and my racing was quite a bit be er, so if I could get a start it would help my results. In the main event, I got up there a er a not- so-good start and got behind Tomac in sixth, but I came together with someone, it was more my fault than anything, and dropped back." 30 JO SHIMODA 4TH 250SX EAST Rookie Jo Shimoda (Monster Energy/ Pro Circuit/Kawasaki) con nues to be a model of consistency with another top- five finish. He hasn't finished worse than fi h all year. "It would have been nice to land on the podium one more me before the break, but I am s ll happy with how I rode," said Shimoda. "Just needed a li le bit be er start. At the start of the day, we didn't really know what kind of track we were going to get a er all that rain, so to leave healthy and third in the points is good." Roczen saw his three-race win streak snapped, but second place is the next-best thing.
