MOTOCROSS
LUCAS OIL AMA PRO MOTOCROSS CHAMPIONSHIP
ROUND 9 / JULY 23, 2016
WASHOUGAL, WASHINGTON / WASHOUGAL MX PARK
P58
Hill, Savatgy got a run on Webb
and ran him way wide, then
stopped and held Webb there
while Forkner went by them both
and into the lead.
Webb went back at Savatgy
immediately at the bottom of the
next hill's S-turns and not only
pushed Savatgy wide, but held
him there in a little tit-for-tat. The
problem was, Webb went down
as Cianciarulo glanced off of Jer-
emy Martin's back in the melee.
In third came defending
champ and teammate Jeremy
Martin, then Osborne, Savatgy's
teammates Adam Cianciarulo
and Arnaud Tonus, Justin Hill,
Aaron Plessinger and then For-
kner in 10th.
In moto two, Webb managed
to grab a rare holeshot in front of
Savatgy and Jeremy Martin, and
then Jeremy Martin gave up third
to Forkner in the second turn. As
the racers crested Horsepower
Savatgy was forced to settle
for a close second just behind
Alex Martin, who took his first
moto win of the season (despite
leading 40 laps coming into the
Washougal National).
Savatgy blamed himself for
being unable to get around Alex
Martin.
"It's my fault," Savatgy said. "I
had a few opportunities maybe
where I could've stuck a wheel in
there and made some contact."
Rookie Austin Forkner
captured his first career
moto win as a pro in the
second 250MX moto. A
bizarre 10-1 combo gave
him second overall.
