LUCAS OIL/AMA PRO MOTOCROSS CHAMPIONSHIPS
ROUND 3 / JUNE 3, 2017
LAKEWOOD, COLORADO / THUNDER VALLEY RACEWAY
P60
three in a 450 moto. Anderson
hung on to second for the whole
race as well and was barely chal-
lenged.
"I had a good flow, you
know?" Bogle said. "Shout out
to the whole RCH Yoshimura
Suzuki team. We got the bike
working really good, and it
helped a lot, because this track
is super gnarly. It's tough every
Baggett rounded lap one in
26th, and Musquin in 19th, while
Grant was slow to get back to
racing and eventually dropped
out of the moto.
Out front, Bogle put on a
show, eventually pulling away to
a seemingly easy moto victory. It
was his first-ever outdoor moto
win in either class, and the first
time he'd ever finished in the top
in Lakewood, Colorado. Who
would bet against him?
Maybe Blake Baggett.
KTM's Baggett has been pick-
ing up momentum as the out-
door series has been ramping
up. He made it through the first
round of the series with solid
finishes, but nothing spectacu-
lar, and then went testing with
the team to sort out his factory-
backed KTM 450 SX-F. At round
two, he had another solid finish
in the first moto, and then a
great start in moto two had him
duking it out for the lead for the
entire moto, eventually finishing
a solid second, and third overall.
At Thunder Valley, though, it
seemed like a disaster for both
Baggett and Red Bull KTM's
series points leader Marvin
Musquin, as they got collected
behind Tomac's teammate Grant
in a first-turn pileup and had to
come from way back.
Rockstar Energy Husqvarna's
Martin Davalos got the holeshot,
but went down about halfway
through the opening lap, hand-
ing the lead to RCH Suzuki's
Justin Bogle over Rockstar Ener-
gy Husqvarna's Jason Anderson,
Autotrader Monster Energy/JGR
Suzuki's Justin Barcia, Bogle's
teammate Broc Tickle, Tomac,
Honda's Cole Seely, Monster
Energy Yamalube Chaparral
Yamaha's Cooper Webb, Bar-
cia's teammate Weston Peick,
Davalos and his other teammate
Dean Wilson.
Josh Grant (33) went down early in
the first moto, taking out Baggett.
