Behind them, Forkner had
blasted up through the pack from
a dismal start, leading Plessinger,
Smith, Chase Sexton, RJ Hamp-
shire and a fading Cooper. This
is the way they would finish, with
Jeremy Martin scoring a 2-1 to
take the overall ahead of Alex,
who went 3-2 for second. Coo-
per managed a third overall with
his 1-8 finishes. After the race,
Cooper revealed he had been
sick earlier in the week, which
explained his loss of endurance
in the second moto.
Plessinger's sixth overall
dropped him to second place in
the series, handing the red num-

in third. But a huge first-turn
pile-up consumed Savatgy and
Osborne. Savatgy was able

rider in front of him. He would
eventually finish the race in 20th,
nabbing one valuable point for all
of his effort.
Meanwhile, up at the front,
the Martin brothers went at it for
nearly the entire moto, Alex lead-
ing Jeremy, giving absolutely no
quarter to one another. Eventu-
ally, Jeremy found a way around
Justin Cooper (62)
captured his first-
ever moto win in
the 250MX class.
Zach Osborne (1),
however, had a
forgettable day.
