VOL. 52 ISSUE 7 FEBRUARY 18, 2015 P73 single-file, with Bogle right on Musquin's rear tire. Musquin was able to get a good jump and pull back out to nearly a four-second lead by the end of the race. "I couldn't ask for a better day," said Musquin. "To be the fastest in practice and get the heat race win with a holeshot and get the holeshot in the main event and then win the main event. I knew I was capable of winning. I'm fit, I've got a great bike and a great team; I just had to do the job." Carrying the number-one plate, Bogle looked impressive, as well. The GEICO Honda rider was just a little off of Musquin's pace en route to second. "I got a good start and just tried to put in solid laps," said Bogle. "I was a little bit off tonight I felt. I just had to get through that first round and move on to the next one. The first-race jitters out of the way and all that good stuff. Marvin rode flawless. I felt like I didn't make any mistakes behind him, I just wasn't quite on him. I'm going to work this week and we'll be all right." Monster Energy Pro Circuit Ka- wasaki's Joey Savatgy capitalized on a good start and then passed Anthony Rodriguez on lap 10 to move into third after spending most of the race looking for a way around the Yamalube/Star Racing Yamaha rider. The finish marked Savatgy's first podium. "I got off to a decent start," said Savatgy. "I was able to make my way around the inside and get away pretty good. That restart kind of helped me out, [and] it kind of didn't. I was kind of in a groove. I'm just pumped to start off the season on the box." Yamalube/Star Racing Yama- ha rider and defending outdoor champ, Jeremy Martin was able to squeeze by JAB Kawasaki's Matt Lemoine with two laps to go to finish fourth, while Lemoine rounded out the top five. Martin Davalos had hoped to be a player in the East Regional Series, but a crash on the open- ing lap of the main event put a damper on his plans. The Rock- star Energy Husqvarna Racing- backed rider finished the night in ninth, just behind Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki's Arnaud Tonus, who was making his American debut. The Swiss motocross star was second fast- est in practice behind Musquin, but tangled on the first lap with Davalos and went down. CN 450 MAIN 1. Ryan Dungey (KTM) 2. Ken Roczen (Suz) 3.
