SX: Zach Osborne alone in the lead again.
After two disappointing races, Zach Osborne was forced to share the lead in the MonsterEnergy AMA Supercross Championship 250F EastCoast with Austin Forkner. In St Louis the Husqvarna rider was able to triumph and is therefore once again the sole leader in the standings! Jeremy Martin finished second ahead of KTM rider Jordon Smith. Osborne is now eight points ahead of Forkner, who could not get further than fifth place in the Edward Jones Dome.
In the final Forkner seems to get the best start but Osborne slips through and wins the Holeshot Award. Yet the Kawasaki rider manages to emerge from the second corner as the leader. This duo then distances itself from Martin who rides a lonely race while Kyle Peters and Smith fight for fourth place. At the front, Osborne continues to keep the pressure on leader Forkner and he goes down! Osborne takes the lead and wins ahead of Martin and Smith. Peters comes fourth ahead of Forkner who has another collision with a straggler.
