SUPERCROSS MONSTER ENERGY AMA SUPERCROSS SERIES, AN FIM WORLD ROUND 7 / FEBRUARY 20, 2016 AT&T STADIUM / ARLINGTON, TEXAS P46 MARVIN'S MARVELOUS RIDE Red Bull KTM's Marvin Musquin had a terrible, but at times, great night in Arlington. It started off well, as he vied with his teammate Dungey for the quickest qualifying times, but a bad start and a crash with Trey Canard sent him to the semis where he finished second to Justin Bogle. Both he and Tomac had to go through the semi and both riders had poor gate picks for the main, and both riders locked bars going into the first turn, with Musquin going down. He got up in last place and rode magnificently from then on out. Musquin ended up sixth, making up for what ap- peared to be an awful night for him, ruining anyone else's excuse of the track being difficult to pass on. "I am really bummed about the crash off the start," Musquin said. "I felt really strong today so I was not happy that put me in the back of the pack. I am happy with how I rode and glad I was able to salvage some points." Had it not been for a first- turn crash in the Main, Marvin Musquin could've claimed the win by how he rode after the fall. He went from last to sixth and showed no signs of slowing.
