Despite Penalty, Musquin Wins In Seattle

Eli Tomac finished third with Webb taking fourth and holding a 14-point lead over Musquin.

Ferrandis turned a second-place start into his first 250SX class main event win with a race that tested his nerves from start to finish. It was teammate Monster Energy/Star Racing/Yamaha’s Colt Nichols who grabbed the holeshot, but within a few turns JGRMX Yoshimura Suzuki’s Jimmy Decotis overtook both Yamaha riders.

Nichols regained the lead through the whoops, then a few turns later had a dramatic crash that took him out of the race. Ferrandis made his move for the lead in the same spot on the next lap, and a minute after that Cianciarulo put himself into second place, less than a second behind, and started applying the pressure. The top two racers were quadding a big rhythm section when they had a clear track ahead of them, with Cianciarulo remaining within a couple seconds. He turned up the pressure, nearly at Ferrandis’ rear tire in the final turn, but never was able to make a pass and Ferrandis took his first checkered flag.

Ferrandis was ecstatic after his first supercross win, “It’s unbelievable, I’m so happy. It was difficult tonight because I was fast on the track and got a good start and I see my teammate crash really bad in front of me, so it was a little bit sketchy, I wasn’t really sure what happened to him. After I was leading, though, it was crazy. It’s been a while I haven’t led a race. AC was really fast. He pushed me… It was new for me to be out front. I kind of struggled a little bit just trying not to make mistakes. Lapped riders were really difficult to manage through. My team makes so much work for me and they deserve so much this week, so I’m just so happy.”

Adam Cianciarulo and Jimmy Decotis completed the podium.
