SUPERCROSS
MONSTER ENERGY AMA SUPERCROSS SERIES, AN FIM WORLD
ROUND 9 / FEBRUARY 27, 2015
GEORGIA DOME / ATLANTA, GEORGIA
P80
250 MAIN
EARLY RACE FRENZY
Going into just the third round
of the 250 East Series, all the
talk centered on opening-round
winner Marvin Musquin, last
week's winner Jeremy Martin
and defending class champion
Justin Bogle, many feeling now
that one of these three will, in
the end, take the East title. And
when all three got out front early,
it certainly got the near-capacity
crowd on its feet.
When the board went side-
ways for the main, it was Mus-
quin who claimed the holeshot,
but not far behind him was
Martin, on the Star Racing Ya-
maha, and Bogle, on the GEICO
Honda. In between were Mon-
ster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawa-
saki's Arnaud Tonus and James
Decotis on the privateer River-
side Harley-Davidson-backed
Honda. It would take a few laps
before both Martin and Bogle
would get by those two, setting
the stage for a Musquin/Martin/
Bogle showdown.
However, Musquin took con-
trol of this one and that show-
down never really materialized.
He never let anyone get close
enough to really challenge him
for the lead. The French rider
Broc Tickle had
a strong race,
finishing fourth
for his best finish
of the year.
