MONSTER ENERGY AMA SUPERCROSS SERIES, AN FIM WORLD
ROUND 9 / FEBRUARY 27, 2015
GEORGIA DOME / ATLANTA, GEORGIA
P82
former World Champion. When
the heat race came around, he
had a tip over and would have to
settle for fourth and not the best
of gate picks. But he quickly got
over that and shot his Factory
Edition 250 SX-F into the lead
and never looked back.
"I pushed really hard through
the first turn and put myself
into the lead, so I was happy,"
Musquin said. "At that point, I
was like, 'okay, here we go,' just
like practice. I was actually riding
quite confident, and not pushing
too hard, because that track was
tough and it was easy to make
some mistakes. I'm just happy to
get here with the win again."
S TILL L OOKING
Bogle, the defending champ,
is still looking for his first win.
Though it's only three rounds
into the series, when you're car-
rying the number-one plate, you
want that win right away.
"I feel better this weekend than
I have," said Bogle "I felt capable
of winning tonight, I just didn't do
myself any favors at the beginning
of that one. In the main, I got a
good start again but got shuffled
back a few spots there on the
first lap. I dropped four or five
spots and it was tough back there
battling with those guys. It was a
little more hectic midpack, but I
worked myself back up to third.
By then we were pretty spaced
out and stayed the same the rest
of the race."
ADMITTING DEFEAT
Jeremy Martin had no excuses
for getting second on the night,
saying that Musquin just rode a
better race. "He was the bet-
ter man tonight," Martin said. "I
tried. I had an opportunity and
didn't capitalize on it. We'll go
back this week and work hard
and come back for Daytona and
be ready."
T OP -FIVE
Joey Savatgy put one of Mitch
Payton's Monster Energy/Pro Cir-
cuit Kawasaki's into the top-five
after getting off to a sixth-place
start. He eventually got into fifth,
then had to fight his way around
Decotis before nabbing fourth.
"Overall it was a good night,"
Savatgy said. "We scored points
