battle and I was looking forward
to it, but he made that mistake
and slid out and I was able to
capitalize on it. Then he went
down, which I'm not mad about

and we didn't have to go all the

Sexton looked the best that

12TH (9-16) 250MX
Pierce Brown returned to the series

was quiet but solid with a ninth," he
said. "The second moto started a little
better. That uphill triple is big. I tried
it one time, cased it, and came to a
stop. After that, I got to the top of the
hill, tucked the front end, and fell. But
after that, I got up and felt like I was
riding really good. I caught back up to
the pack that passed me."
24 RJ HAMPSHIRE
4TH (3-6) 250MX
Another opening moto podium for
RJ Hampshire, but a sixth in moto
two, dropped him to fourth overall.
"The first moto was decent, pretty
solid," he said. "In the second moto,
I got hung up on the start. I ended
up going down about halfway. I got
another fourth overall, but I just need
to try and turn it around a bit in these
second motos."
