Red Bull KTM Factory rider Dean Ferris earned a top ten finish at the sixth round of the Monster Energy Supercross West 250SX Series held at Qualcomm Stadium.
The Australian rookie continued his run of consistently picking up points in the 250-class West Coast Championship with a tenth place in the Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego.
Ferris had a hard crash in the final practice session resulting in an injured thumb. He was then placed in the first 250SX heat where he earned a third place start at the gate drop. He got pushed back in the second corner and dropped to eighth place. At the end of the six lap race he was able to move up two positions to finish the heat in sixth place qualifying into the main event.
On his KTM 250 SX-F Ferris got a mid-pack start in the main event and struggled throughout the fifteen lap main due to his thumb injury.
‰ÛÏIt hurt pretty bad after my practice crash, but I knew this was the last race before the break so I wanted to try and get some points‰Û
