Very strong performance by Zach Osborne in Red Bud!
On Friday, indeed on Friday, the fourth AMA Outdoor National of the season was completed on the 'Red BUUUUUUUuuuuD' circuit. Zach Osborne was still leading the standings, although the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna pilot did not perform great in the 'Ironman National'. His poorer performance immediately gave rise to speculation: had the man with the red number plate injured himself or had problems with the pressure...
Many, if not all, of these stories can already go to the trash bin. Because Zach Osborne put the finishing touches on today in Red Bud. Twice the Husqvarna pilot managed to take the holeshot and after that his opponents only saw his backside, unless he was cheating them for a lap. Ching Ching 50 points in the pocket for the Husqvarna pilot, and with this he further extends his lead in the championship. Now he can look forward to the second Red Bud National, which is coming up on Monday, without any worries.
What did Zach Osborne's competitors do you ask?! They missed out on expensive points. For example, Marvin Musquin scored a good second place in the first heat, but he did not get further than a sixth place in the first heat. Combined, also 'only' good for fourth place in the daily rankings. This is behind surprising rookie Chase Sexton (3-4) and Justin Barcia (6-2) who had the same results as Marvin Musquin, but in reverse order. You immediately noticed that Eli Tomac dropped even more points than the aforementioned ones. This is indeed correct. Eli Tomac scored a fourth and a fifth place in the motos. This placed ET sixth overall, just behind his teammate Adam Cianciarulo who combined a fifth place from the first heat with a third place from the second heat.
