Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team’s Marvin Musquin earned his second victory of the season on Saturday for Round 14 of the AMA Supercross Championship in Seattle, Washington.
Musquin had a flawless day of racing as he claimed the heat race victory before going on to lead all 20 laps of the 450SX Main Event to finish ahead of Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Eli Tomac and Rockstar Husqvarna’s Jason Anderson.
His teammate, Ryan Dungey, finished just off the podium in 4th place after a first-turn crash forced him to have to pick his way through a majority of the field.
Tomac suffered a bad start and was forced to make his way through the pack. The Kawasaki rider made his way into third but then a crash put him back to fourth. Luckily there was no damage to Tomac or his bike and he remounted and began hunting down Anderson and second place rider, Yamaha’s Cooper Webb.
Anderson would make the pass on Webb but then Webb would crash hard allowing Tomac to move into third.
Tomac would eventually catch and pass Anderson to claim the Main Event win.
