Musquin claims second win of the AMA MX season!!
After last week on the sandy course of the WW Ranche Motocross park, Marvin Musquin now wins his second AMA National of the season! The Frenchman now also managed to win the sand competition in Southwick! This with a nice victory in heat one and a second place in the second heat.
This second round was won by Zach Osborne, meaning the former Grand Prix pilot also won his first AMA 450 Motocross series of his career. This result combined with his third place in the first heat ensured that the Husqvarna pilot finished second on the overall podium at Southwick. Both men were flanked by the championship leader; Eli Tomac who, with a second and third place, did not have to give up too many points to Marvin Musquin, and also a lot of points ahead of Ken Roczen who only finished twelfth and tenth.
The German HRC pilot is clearly not himself. Because he once fought hand-to-hand duels in Lommel with his peer and emperor of the sand courts Jeffrey Herlings. Something that cannot be reconciled with this sad result in Southwick.
