🎥 AMA Motocross: Glen Helen Highlights

7 years ago | Words: Pro Motocross | Photos: Joey Shigeo, George Crosland

Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Eli Tomac drew first blood in this year’s 450 Class title fight with last week’s sweep at Hangtown, but a lot can change in one week. At the weekend’s FMF Glen Helen National, Tomac was hobbled by a poor start in Moto 1 battling through the pack to a second place and front brake bike issues in Moto 2 forced him into the mechanic’s area resulting in a 19th.
As a result, Red Bull KTM’s Marvin Musquin took advantage, earning his first career moto win and first career overall win in the 450 Class. Leaving round 2 as the new series points leader.
He wasn’t the only one setting a new milestone though: Rockstar Husqvarna’s Jason Anderson also captured his first career 450MX moto win in Moto 2.

Overall Results
1. Marvin Musquin (1-3)
2. Jason Anderson (5-1)
3. Blake Baggett (8-2)
4. Dean Wilson (6-7)
5. Weston Peick (9-6)
6. Cole Seely (7-8)
7. Broc Tickle (14-4)
8. Justin Bogle (12-5)
9. Eli Tomac (2-19)
10. Josh Grant (3-28)

250 Class

A week after sweeping Hangtown, Rockstar Husqvarna’s Zach Osborne won the FMF Glen Helen National to give him two straight overall wins to start this season. He managed to do this despite not winning either moto at Glen Helen. Instead, it was Geico Honda’s Jeremy Martin and Star Racing Yamaha’s Dylan Ferrandis winning Saturday’s two motos. For Ferrandis, a former Grand Prix rider, it was his first moto victory on the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross circuit, showing he has the raw speed to be a champion by gapping second place by 23 seconds in Moto 2

Overall Results
1. Zach Osborne (4-2)
2. Jeremy Martin (1-7)
3. Dylan Ferrandis (9-1)
4. Adam Cianciarulo (7-3)
5. Colt Nichols (5-4)
6. Alex Martin (6-5)
7. Aaron Plessinger (3-13)
8. Michael Mosiman (8-10)
9. Joey Savatgy (2-29)
10. Mitchell Harrison (13-8)
