MOTOCROSS LUCAS OIL AMA PRO MOTOCROSS CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 10 / AUGUST 12, 2017 UNADILLA VALLEY SPORTS CENTER / NEW BERLIN, NEW YORK P68 After struggling through much of the middle of the series, Sa- vatgy now finds himself solidly in third in the points standings. CN 450MX 1. Marvin Musquin (KTM) 1-1 2. Martin Davalos (Hus) 8-2 3. Cole Seely (Hon) 3-6 4. Cooper Webb (Yam) 7-3 5. Blake Baggett (KTM) 2-11 6. Dean Wilson (Hus) 9-4 7. Justin Bogle (Suz) 4-10 8. Christian Craig (Hon) 5-9 9. Eli Tomac (Kaw) 10-5 10. Benny Bloss (KTM) 15-8 After finishing 14th in the first 250MX moto, Troy Lee Designs Lucas Oil Red Bull KTM's Sean Cantrell was hoping for a better result in the second moto, but it only got worse. He went down in the first turn and had to call it a day from there, recording a DNF. On the final lap of the second moto, only two turns from the finish, Marvin Musquin nearly crashed. "Well, you kind of know you can crash at any- time," Musquin said of racing in the mud. "And then one mis- take and I lost the balance, but I keep it pinned and just didn't let off the gas. I kept it straight. Obviously when you're leading it's always better. And once again, when you win it's always fun. But it was really muddy." Rocky Mountain ATV-MC KTM's Blake Baggett was in the championship hunt until he injured his left thumb at RedBud. Still, he has pushed through the injury, which he says is definitely going to re- quire surgery at the end of the series. "You know, it's a dream that you want to race and be- come a champion when you're a little kid," Baggett said. "It's just par for the course and I'm just trying to give it everything I've got." Briefly... Justin Cooper made his pro debut one to remember by getting second in the second 250MX moto. cont. on page 70
