MOTOCROSS LUCAS OIL AMA PRO MOTOCROSS CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 5 / JUNE 13, 2015 HIGH POINT RACEWAY / MOUNT MORRIS, PENNSYLVANIA P130 from Roczen and very much in the championship hunt, but me- chanical issues and a bad start dropped him back to fifth in the points standings. Fork issues in the first moto sent him back to the pits, and a 15 th -place start in the second moto were not the results he was looking for at High Point. Baggett is still right in the middle of a close points battle for third place in the series. Now fifth, he trails Barcia by just two points and Anderson by five points. TICKLE TIME Another rider who has been putting in the work and getting results has been Roczen's team- mate Broc Tickle. Landing just outside the top five in sixth overall, Tickle capped off his day with a con- fidence-inspiring second-moto comeback. "The second moto I slid out coming back around on the start straight, and went back to 20 th ," Tickle said. "I worked my way back to eighth, finish- ing the day 6-8 for sixth overall. The thing I am most pumped on was the start of the first moto. I have been struggling with starts really bad over the years but have been working really hard on them during the week, and to see some of it pay off was good." Tickle is currently sixth in points, 14 points behind Baggett. >>250 NATIONAL MUSQUIN DOMINATES After a disappointing weekend the week before at Muddy Creek, where he turned the red plate back over to Jeremy Mar- tin, the Red Bull KTM's Marvin Musquin took it back at High Point after having a stellar day in Pennsylvania. He was the quick- est rider in 250 qualifying and by far the fastest rider in both mo- tos. No one had an answer for him in either one. He grabbed the holeshot in the first moto and ran off with a wire-to-wire win. In moto two, he only needed about Justin Barcia (51) was a front-runner in both motos but was hoping for better finishes.
