ROUND 4 / JUNE 17, 2017
HIGH POINT RACEWAY / MT. MORRIS, PENNSYLVANIA
P70
Jeremy Martin led the first
half of the race, but Osborne
caught fire a few laps in and
chased Martin down to take the
lead around halfway, later stating
that he had some arm-pump in
the early laps that he was able
to work his way through as the
moto progressed.
Osborne took the moto win in
front of Martin and Plessinger.
It was Osborne's first moto win
since the Hangtown opener.
"My arms were a little tight
in the beginning, but I worked
through it there about halfway in
and felt really, really good on the
bike," Osborne said. "I just had
good rhythm in all the ruts and
stuff. It felt great out there."
Martin was also suffering from
arm-pump in moto one.
"I've been in that position
[leading races] many times,"
Martin said. "Zach was riding re-
ally well. All the fans were cheer-
ing pretty loud and the track is
gnarly. I was fighting it. I had arm
pump the whole time. I was able
to shake it with two laps to go,
but it was too late. So, I'm look-
ing forward to moto two."
The front three were followed
at a distance in fourth by Dylan
Ferrandis, Pro Circuit Kawasaki's
Adam Cianciarulo, his teammate
Austin Forkner, and then Alex
Martin, who fought all the way
up to seventh after his first-turn
fall. Behind him came another
PC Kawasaki of Joey Savatgy,
Hampshire and Mitchell Har-
rison.
Moto two saw Alex Martin
go from crashing in turn one in
the first moto to grabbing the
holeshot the second time out,
with Plessinger, Jeremy Martin,
Forkner, Ferrandis, Hampshire,
Savatgy, Nichols, Osborne and
Harrison rounding out the top
10. Jeremy Martin and Forkner
worked their way past Plessing-
er, who went on an early slide
backward, eventually falling to
sixth place before he recov-
ered and began moving back
Jeremy Martin
(6) got his first
250MX overall
win since
joining the
Geico Honda
team.
