SUPERCROSS ROUND 15 / APRIL 23, 2016 GILLETTE STADIUM / FOXBOROUGH, MASSACHUSETTS P60 MONSTER ENERGY AMA SUPERCROSS SERIES My Own Race: 19 JUSTIN BOGLE 6 TH 450SX After a rough start to the season, 450SX-class rookie Justin Bogle is obviously getting more and more confi- dence and is putting his GEICO Honda more and more toward the front. He now has four top-10 finishes in the last five races. In Foxborough, he finished second in his heat race and then ran as high as fifth in the main before closing out the race in sixth. "The heat race was good, got through with a second in that," said Bogle of his day. "I got a great start in the main then I made a small mistake in the first rhythm and lost some spots. I felt like I had a solid main event, just was a bit off the pace, but still progressing and still working for where I believe I can be. I ended up sixth so definitely not a bad night but I obviously always want more than that." 21 JASON ANDERSON 4 TH 450SX This was the first race in the last five that Jason Ander- son, on the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna, didn't finish on the podium, but he came close. He was running third at one point until a bent front-brake disc slowed him down a little and then a small bobble in the whoops allowed Dungey to get back by him. "I got a heat race win and was feeling pretty good," Anderson said of his night. "I went into the main and was feeling great. I was battling with Dungey but lost my front brake in the pro- cess. I settled into fourth and just rode on from there." With just two rounds left on the schedule, Anderson has all but a lock on third in the championship. He has little chance of catching second place Roczen but enjoys a 30-point lead over fourth place Tomac. 94 KEN ROCZEN 1 ST 450SX Ken Roczen has definitely proven that when he gets a good start he's a threat to win, unfortunately for him and his Soaring Eagle/Jimmy John's/RCH Suzuki Team, he wasn't getting those starts until the second half of the season. Plus, he says he's now more in tune with his Suzuki. "I feel like I'm one with the bike and that's been the difference," Roczen said. "We've made great strides with the bike and everyone is working really well together. That's what makes it fun. We're still in this championship fight. Anything can happen. I'm really glad we came away with the win be- cause I was tired of finishing second. We've got the speed and we're consistent every week so I'm glad to finally make it happen. The track was tricky. It was really hard-packed and had some ruts. The whoops got really rough and the lappers were there so we had a little bit of everything."
