🎥 AMA MX: Hangtown Highlights
Recap of the first round of the 2017 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship.
450 Class
The 2017 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship kicked off at Hangtown on the weekend. With no previous 450MX champions in the field, it’s a foregone conclusion that Lucas Oil Pro Motocross will see a brand new champion crowned this summer. The consensus pick has been Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Eli Tomac, who has shown dominant potential at times throughout his career.
Despite a fall in Moto 1 and a poor start in Moto 2, Tomac lived up to the hype by sweeping both motos at the season-opening Red Bull Hangtown Motocross Classic.
Musquin held on for second place. Webb, in his 450 Class debut, dropped multiple spots to Josh Grant (about 11 minutes into the race) and Cole Seely (about 15 minutes into the race) to finish fifth. Blake Baggett, Broc Tickle, Justin Bogle, Craig and Dean Wilson rounded out the top ten.
Watch the highlights from the 250 and 450 class below…

250 Class
After winning a regional 250SX title in supercross, Zach Osborne entered the 2017 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship season opener as one of the sport’s hottest riders. He also considers himself even better suited for outdoor motocross than supercross, which has made him one of this year’s top championship contenders.
Osborne took a great first step toward a possible title Saturday at the Red Bull Hangtown Motocross Classic. After posting the top time in both of the morning’s practice sessions, he swept both motos and will now take control of the red plate as the series prepares to shift to Glen Helen. Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GoPro/KTM rider Alex Martin finished in second place, followed by Star Racing Yamaha’s Aaron Plessinger rounding off the podium.
