The penultimate round of the 2015 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championships took place this past weekend about 40 minutes outside of Salt Lake City, Utah. The 250MX series is going down to the wire with a two-point lead for Star Yamaha’s Jeremy Martin over Red Bull KTM’s Marvin Musquin. Both tied for the overall at Salt Lake City thanks to a couple of great come-from-behind rides by Martin. As well, his teammates made it a bit easier for Jeremy with blatant pulling over (although Martin was coming at a high rate of speed) and GEICO Honda’s RJ Hampshire tipping over in the last turn of the first moto while in third. This title has proved to be a great battle all year long and we’ll have more for you next issue when this thing is decided.
In the 450MX class it was Red Bull KTM’s Ryan Dungey walking to his third motocross title with a dominant first moto win where he came from the back to run down RCH Suzuki’s Kenny Roczen. This season didn’t start out ideal for Dungey as GEICO Honda’s Eli Tomac ran off and hid for five straight motos. But slowly Dungey was trying to figure out the brand new KTM 450SX-F as his charge to the supercross title prevented him from doing some serious work on the new bike. Tomac got hurt at round three and Dungey grabbed the reigns from there.
