Red Bull KTM’s Marvin Musquin made the most out of the fifth round of the Pro Motocross Championship, earning maximum points in the 250 class with a win in both motos at the High Point National in Mt. Morris, Pennsylvania.
Those maximum points moved Musquin eight points ahead of Jeremy Martin in the title chase. While it’s great to be leading the way in the championship, the 2015 AMA Supercross 250 East Champion is more focused on winning races.
“There’s so many races left,” Musquin said. “I’m don’t think about the championship, really. I just want to win races and do good every weekend. And then we’ll see what’s going to happen. I’m having a lot of fun for my very last year on the 250. I’ve never had a bike this good. Thank you to the team. Now we have a weekend off, that’s going to feel good.”
In second was Rockstar Energy Husqvarna’s Zach Osborne (5-2) ahead of the reigning 250 champ Martin, who overcame a pair of bad starts to score two fourths. Martin’s fourth-place finish in the second moto was earned after battling with his older brother Alex on the Cycle Trader/Rock River Yamaha–a battle that resulted in the last spot on the podium for Jeremy and fourth overall for Alex.
Behind the Martin brothers was Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Joey Savagty with a 6-3 tally. In sixth was teammate Adam Cianciarulo (2-12). Geico Honda’s Christian Craig was seventh, finishing eighth in moto one and seventh in moto two.
Rounding out the top 10 was Troy Lee Lucas Oil KTM’s Jessy Nelson (10-8), Yamalube Star Racing Yamaha’s Aaron Plessinger (9-10) and Nelson’s teammate Shane McElrath (11-9).
