After two hard fought motos at Round 8 of the AMA Pro Motocross Championship at Washougal MX Park in Washougal, Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki‰Ûªs Blake Baggett finished third overall in the 250 class with a 6-1 moto result and in doing so retained his championship lead
After a frustrating first moto that left Baggett finishing in sixth, he came out swinging in the second moto aboard his KX250F. When the gate dropped, he powered to the front of the pack and three laps later he was right on the heels of the leader.
He paced the leader for 11 laps waiting for a mistake and scoping new lines where he might make a move. With three laps remaining, Baggett made his move and took command of the race.
‰ÛÏI was feeling really good during practice,‰Û
