It took Webb until lap 10 of 16 to even move into second place, and it was just too late. Jeremy was too far gone, and he took the moto victory, along with his first overall win of the season. "You know, it feels amazing," Jeremy said. "It was a good day for me. The bike was absolutely perfect in moto two. I haven't had that all year. I was able to ride my own pace. It was great." Webb finished second in the moto, and overall, but still man- aged to increase his points lead by one point. Osborne finished the moto in third place. Alex ended up top 10 and had to start moving forward from there. "My biggest issue I've been having lately was my starts were a little bit off, so I pulled both holeshots today, and that's a good feeling to get out front," Alex said. "Just two mistakes and my day would've been a lot different." Meanwhile, Webb started out- side the top 10, but was work- ing his way up to the top five by the end of the first lap. Jeremy found a line around Cianciarulo through the track's rhythm sec- tion to take the lead on lap four as Cianciarulo began to fade through the pack, eventually Jeremy Martin took the 250MX class win at his home track, but he had to work for it.
