had a good start and saw his
lines and tried to follow, but I
just need to be better."
Tom Vialle had a quiet but
consistent day for third overall.
After skipping the Washougal
round due to an injured arm and
elbow, the former MX2 champ
returned to action after the
break. Vialle won here back in
2024 and looked refreshed as
he battled for most of moto one
with Garrett Marchbanks. Vialle
held onto the spot down to the
wire and proceeded to back it
up again with another third in
moto two. This marks a strong
return for this year's 250SX East
Supercross champ and should
see him close out the season on
a high note.
"It was good to be back,"
Washougal winner once again
showed early sprint speed as he
grabbed the holeshot in moto
one and led all but the final five
laps. He eventually succumbed
to Deegan's pressure late in
the race but still held on for the
runner-up spot. Shimoda put
himself back up front in moto
two but always seemed to be
just outside of striking distance
from the leader, Deegan. He
crossed the line second for
another overall podium.
"My starts have been great,
and that's been helping me a
lot," Shimoda said. "Now I'm
getting good starts and trying
to fight up there, but I feel like
I need a little bit more speed.
[Deegan] was just riding too
good. I had nothing for him. I
the day, as Deegan led every lap
of the second moto and swept
the day with 1-1 results. Another
dominant day keeps him firmly
at the top of the championship
points standings.
"I feel like today was a really
big pressure day," Deegan said. "I
just signed my 450 deal, just got
announced for Team USA, and
we're racing here, so I wanted to
go 1-1 today. Put all the distrac
-
tions aside, and it's time to go
1-1.
I was able to do that, but the
track was pretty gnarly. I really
had to move around the track
to find my lines. That first moto
took me a while, and about half
-
way, I was able to find that flow."
Shimoda finished
second
overall with a consistent pair
of second-place finishes. The
Jo Shimoda put up a good
fight en route to second overall
in the 250MX class.
