Musquin Maintains Second in AMA Motocross Championship Standings

Marvin Musquin has maintained second place in the 2018 Lucas Oils AMA Pro Motocross Championship after just missing the podium with fourth overall at Lakewood, Colorado.

Round three of the championship, held at the Thunder Valley track, just did not click with the The Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team rider.

In 450MX Moto 1, Musquin got off to a fourth-place start, where he battled for a top-five position through the first three laps before the race was red flagged due to a downed rider on the track. With a fifth-place gate pick, Musquin lined up once again for a second gate drop and made his way back to fifth with 19 minutes remaining in the re-started race. From there, Musquin moved into fourth and maintained that position through the checkers.

In Moto 2, Musquin once again put himself into a top-four position off the start and battled for third early on before settling into the top-five in the first two laps. He quickly moved up to fourth on lap three and rode his own race for the remainder of the moto to close the day with a pair of fourth-place finishes to capture fourth overall.
