Round 6 - AMA Pro Motocross Championship - July 2, 2016

BUCHANAN, Mich. – Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Marvin Musquin captured 5th overall on Saturday with 5-6 moto scores at Round 6 of the AMA Pro Motocross Championship in Buchanan, Michigan.

In 450 Class Moto 1, Musquin didn’t get the best jump off the line as he began the race outside the top ten. Musquin climbed toward the front, where he vaulted his KTM 450 SX-F Factory Edition into the top five to capture 5th place in Moto 1.

In 450 Class Moto 2, Musquin got off to a top-ten start, where he was forced to come from behind once again. In similar fashion to the first race, Musquin battled his way into a top five position, where he went head-to-head with Blake Baggett on the final lap. Baggett slipped by to secure 5th, with Musquin capturing 6th place in Moto 2.

“I didn’t get the best starts today and I’m disappointed with how both races went at the beginning but I am happy with my riding towards the end,” Musquin said. “I’m going to work on getting better starts so I can see what I’m able to do from there.”

With 5-6 moto scores, Musquin secured 5th overall for the day where he now sits 3rd in the 450 Class Championship standings.

The AMA Pro Motocross Championship resumes next Saturday, July 9, in Southwick, Massachusetts.
