night, but I dealt with what I had and did my best,"
says Bogle. "Fifth isn't an ideal finish for Super-
cross when you're going for a championship, but
under the circumstances it was okay; that was
my goal coming in, was to get a fifth and go from
there."
Except for another fifth-place finish
at Daytona, Bogle's results steadily im-
proved as the series moved through the
schedule, with the Honda rider logging
third-place finishes in Atlanta and India-
napolis before grabbing a solid runner-
up finish in Detroit behind points leader
Adam Cianciarulo.
"After the race in Detroit I knew I could win
one," says Bogle. "I battled for the win in Detroit
and ended up second, and that was the first time
I got a decent start in a main. I knew after that I
could win one and we did a ton of testing that next
week. My trainer even suited up and got on a bike
and we were working on starts together. We were
doing everything we could to make it happen."
As it often does, all the hard work paid off and
the following week in Toronto, Bogle grabbed the
holeshot in the main event and claimed his
first-ever Supercross win. The win marked
a turning point in the season, and perhaps
in his racing career, for Bogle.
"Toronto was the best weekend of my
career, so far," says Bogle. "To get a win
there was big for me. I got the holeshot
and led every lap to take the win. It was
incredible and a lot of crazy things hap-
pened there that night that let me get back in the
championship. It was great because my parents
were able to go to that race, which was cool."
Another big factor was an injury to Adam Cian-
ciarulo who had led the series by a wide margin
