The 2014 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship, sanctioned by AMA
Pro Racing, entered the penultimate round of its 12-race
championship series on Saturday with the inaugural running of the
Thor Indiana National from Crawfordsville, Indiana. In what could
be considered the most unpredictable conditions of the season,
Saturday's racing action came away with very little surprises,
including the crowning of the first National Champion of 2014 with
Yamalube/Star Racing/Yamaha's Jeremy
Martin clinching the 250 Class title one round early. In the
450 Class, Red Bull KTM's Ken Roczen
emerged victorious with a 1-2 performance to further extend his
points lead over teammate Ryan Dungey as
the series heads into the final round next week.
With natural rolling hills and a flowing layout, the brand new
Ironman Raceway track was quickly deemed one of the most favorable
tracks on the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross circuit, that is until the
rain began to fall Saturday morning. Track conditions went from
being perfect, to less than ideal, in just a matter of hours.
Roczen put himself into a favorable position right away by grabbing
the MotoSport.com Holeshot Award in the first 450 Class moto. Team
Honda Muscle Milk's Trey Canard
tucked in behind Roczen off the start, where he kept himself within
striking distance early in the moto.
Dungey experienced an issue off the start that caused him to get
hung up just before the first turn, where he began around fifth on
the opening lap. Roczen capitalized on the clear track ahead,
especially with the muddy track conditions in the first moto, and
put a gap on Canard and the rest of the field. However, Dungey was
bound and determined to close the gap on his teammate early on and
the Minnesota native eventually charged past Canard, who went down
on the third lap, to take over second.

Dungey maintained second place in Moto 1, with Canard finishing in
third. GEICO Honda's Eli Tomac, who
claimed the Oakley Bomb Fastest Qualifier Award, made a late pass
on Monster Energy Kawasaki's Brett
Metcalfe to capture fourth. Metcalfe rounded out the top five,
with BTO Sports/KTM's Matt Goerke
behind him in sixth.
In Moto Two, Team Honda Muscle Milk's Trey Canard grabbed the
MotoSport.com Holeshot and pulled away from the rest of the field
to earn his second win in the last three motos. Roczen jumped into
the second place position on the opening lap, but the 450 Class
points leader wasn't able to match the pace of a hard-charging
Canard.
Rockstar Energy Racing/KTM's Ryan Sipes put
himself into podium contention early on with a top-three holeshot
in the second moto. Despite a crash late in the race, Sipes was
able to tap into his newfound cross-country skills to maintain a
solid and consistent pace. BTO Sports/KTM's Andrew
Short maintained a top five running throughout the entire moto,
engaging in battle with Sipes for the final podium position. In the
end, Sipes prevailed to capture third in the moto, with Short in
fourth and Toyota/JGRMX/Yamaha's Josh Grant
rounding out the top five.
Dungey once again suffered from a bad start in the second moto,
checking in just outside the top ten on the opening lap. The Red
Bull KTM rider wasn't able to make up much ground, finishing a
disappointing ninth place in the second moto. Dungey's 2-9 moto
scores were good enough to capture third overall for the day, where
he lost thirteen points in the championship standings.

"The second moto, that's where the downfall was," Dungey said. "It
was tough in those conditions to come from behind, but no excuses
though. I just got caught up in a little bit of mud, which isn't
ideal at this point in the championship. I lost some points but I'm
taking it race by race and all I can do is the best I can every
time the gate drops."
Canard's Moto 2 victory marks his second win in the last three
motos, as well as the his second career moto win in the 450 Class.
Canard's 3-1 moto scores earned the Oklahoma native second overall
for the day, just three points away from his first overall win.
"I'm definitely more comfortable these last two weeks," Canard
said. "Obviously last week helped but in general I've just had more
fun at the races the last two weeks."
Roczen's win helped the German rookie extend the 450 Class points
lead over Dungey, bringing his championship lead to twenty points
with one round to go.

"I really enjoy when it rains, it takes the edge off because most
of the races it's sunny and everyone is going for it," Roczen said.
"I think the track was overall super cool, like the layout and the
entire venue. I think if it would have been dry this could be my
new favorite track."
Canard sits third in the championship standings, 76 points behind,
with Monster Energy Kawasaki's Brett Metcalfe fourth (-190) and
Tomac jumping up all the way to fifth (-213) despite missing the
first four rounds of the season with injury.
Heading into moto one, Yamalube/Star Racing Yamaha's Jeremy Martin
needed only nine points to claim his first career 250 Class
Championship. The Minnesota native got off to a good start in the
first moto and carried his momentum to a second place finish, which
is good enough to clinch the title one round early.
"To be able to have the number one plate, I've been thinking of how
good it would feel to hear Kevin [Crowther] from the AMA to be
passing on the number one plate to me and this is the greatest
moment of my life," Martin said after receiving the AMA #1 Plate
and his first 250 Class title.

TLD/Lucas Oil/Honda's Jessy Nelson
had a breakout ride in the first moto of the 250 Class, beginning
with a commanding MotoSport.com Holeshot. With Martin close in tow,
Nelson set a blistering pace out front early on. The KTM trio of
Joey Savatgy
(Rockstar Energy Racing/KTM), Marvin
Musquin (Red Bull KTM) and Jason
Anderson (Rockstar Energy KTM) filled out the top five early
on.
Nelson eventually stretched his lead to over seven seconds by the
end of the moto en route to his first career moto win. Martin
captured second to claim his first career title, with Musquin,
Savatgy and Anderson rounding out the top five.
Nelson grabbed the MotoSport.com Holeshot once again in Moto 2 but
unlike the first moto, the young gun wasn't able to maintain the
lead for too long. Rockstar Energy Racing KTM duo Joey Savatgy and
Jason Anderson got off to a good start - with Savatgy holding the
lead for a few laps after passing Nelson - but the Frenchmen Marvin
Musquin and Christophe
Pourcel came quickly charging.
It wasn't long before Musquin made his way past Savatgy and into
the lead, with Valli Motorsports Yamaha's Pourcel close behind.
Pourcel kept the pressure on Musquin for the lead but the Red Bull
KTM rider held on to secure the win, with Pourcel in second and
Savatgy rounding out the podium.

Nelson continued to fall back, eventually finishing eighth in the
second moto, giving the California native third overall for the day
with 1-8 moto scores. Savatgy put forth a consistent ride with 4-3
moto scores and second overall for the day.
Jeremy Martin left the inaugural Indiana National with his first
ever 250 Class Championship in hand, while also scoring Yamaha its
first 250 Class Championship since Jeff Emig's title in 1992.
However, it was Musquin who secured the overall win with moto
scores of 3-1, despite a muddy day of racing in Indiana.
"I think my technique worked pretty good today," Musquin said.
"I've been in the U.S. for a couple years now and I've never really
raced in the mud here. I was just trying to be smooth and smart but
when you're on the track it's so easy to make a mistake, it's tough
but that's part of the racing."
The 2014 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship concludes next
Saturday, August 23, with the 12th and final round of the season at
the second annual Utah National. Action for the Utah National
begins at 3 p.m. ET.

Ken Roczen Wins Ironman Motocross National And Retains Red Plate
[caption id="attachment_33344" align="alignright"

Cudby[/caption]
Red Bull KTM Factory rider Ken Roczen took
the overall win at the first-ever Lucas Oil Pro Championship
Motocross race held at the Ironman race course, the eleventh stop
of the 450MX Championship. His teammate, and biggest competitor,
Ryan Dungey
took 3rd overall for the day allowing Roczen to extend his
championship point lead.
The Ironman course was greeted with heavy rain for the morning
practice sessions which resulted in varied lap times for all
riders. Ken Roczen managed to turn the 3rd fastest time of the
morning while Ryan Dungey had the 12th fastest qualifying time.
On his KTM 450 SX-F Roczen
selected a solid gate and pulled a large holeshot in the first
moto. Dungey had a decent jump but was pushed off the track and
re-entered in 15th position. By the end of the first lap Dungey had
moved into 9th place and continued to pick off riders. On lap three
Dungey was already up to 3rd position approximately 15 seconds
behind Trey Canard. A few laps later, Dungey was able to move into
the runner-up position and began trying to catch Roczen.
The German rider knew he needed to take a win at this race to
strengthen his lead and he continued to charge out front not
allowing Dungey to gain time. When the checkered flag flew, Roczen
captured the moto win with a 17 second lead over Dungey.

"It feels great to get a win here," stated Roczen on the podium. "I
thought this track looked really good when it was dry but it was
also a lot of fun wet. This might be my new favorite track."
In the second moto Roczen earned another great start and came
around 2nd behind Canard. Dungey encountered issues off the start
once more and was 17th around the first few corners. A few
struggles throughout the moto caused Dungey to discard his goggles
in the beginning of the race which caused a problem later as he
moved through the pack with poor vision. Dungey was able to climb
back to 9th by the moto end while Roczen rode a mistake-free race
to finish 2nd. Dungey's 2-9 finish earned him 3rd overall for the
day while Roczen's results gave him the overall win and extended
his point lead heading to the final round.
"I'm really happy to gain some points toward the championship
today," said Roczen. "I haven't lost the red plate since the second
race of the series and I don't plan on losing it now."

Marvin Musquin Takes Victory At Ironman Motocross National

Red Bull KTM Factory rider Marvin
Musquin earned the overall win at the Ironman Motocross
National, the eleventh round of the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross 250MX
Championship Series.
Despite getting stuck in a large mud hole in the morning practice
session, Marvin Musquin held a positive attitude and was looking
forward to the first mud race of the season. "The mud definitely
makes the course challenging but it is very exciting too," stated
Musquin before the first moto.
From a 15th place gate pick the first moto, Musquin pulled a decent
start and was 4th around the first corner. He moved into 3rd a lap
later when the rider in that position crashed. Once in podium
position he maintained his pace and was able to finish the race in
that spot.

"It was really slick the first moto and the lappers definitely made
it challenging," stated Musquin. "I am happy to finish with a
podium result and hope the rain holds off for the second moto."
On his KTM 250 SX-F Musquin got his wish and the moto was slightly
less wet the second moto where he earned another top five start. He
gained a position early on when a rider in front of him went down
and then he made a pass on Christophe Pourcel to move into 3rd
place. Soon Musquin, Pourcel and the 2nd place Rockstar KTM ride of
Joey Savatgy began to pressure Jessy Nelson for the lead. They each
eventually moved around Nelson maintaining a tight battle for the
overall win. It was not until two laps remained that Musquin was
able to make a pass on Savatgy to take the lead. Pourcel did not
back down and challenged Musquin the entire last lap. The two
French riders were within a bike length of each other when Musquin
crossed the finish line to take the win.
Musquin's 3-1 finishes earned him the overall for the day and a
place in the record books as the first 250MX rider to win at the
first-ever Ironman Motocross National.

Joey Savatgy And Ryan Sipes Weather The Indiana Storm
[caption id="attachment_33332" align="alignright"

Cudby[/caption]
Rockstar Energy Racing headed to Indiana for round 11 of the pro
motocross series and the first ever stop at Ironman Raceway. The
general consensus around the pits was the track was great as well
as the facility itself and general aesthetic appearance. Some could
even be heard saying that it might be their favorite national
track. Then mother nature stepped in. Early Saturday morning the
heavens opened up, unleashing a torrential downpour that would last
into practice and create a complete quagmire. Bikes were getting
stuck in mud so deep that they could not be pulled from the depths
without the aid of equipment. The team handled the extreme
conditions with exemplary breakout out performances in both
classes.
Joey Savatgy
has really been finding his speed as of late with top 10 finishes
in six consecutive motos coming in to Indiana. Coupling his speed
and consistency with good starts, he set his sights on a higher
goal of getting into the top 5. After a very water soaked first
practice where Joey barely got any time on the track, his second
time out was a complete debacle. Before he even got a lap in, he
found himself amongst a crowd of bikes that we're completely sunk.
Savatgy was unable to record a time at all. The worst part is the
track was much faster in the latter practice. If that wasn't bad
enough, with almost no track time, he was quite unsure of the
layout of the circuit at all.
In moto one Joey rocketed out of the gate with what appeared to be
a sure holeshot. Then the very unpredictable start straight slowed
his momentum as his line got deeper and deeper. He was still able
to get a decent start and rode what was then the best moto of his
career. That was until moto 2. The young rider started very near
the front and had some heat behind him. At about the halfway point
he moved into the lead and held it almost until the 2 lap card came
out when he succumbed to Marvin Musquin. Had Savatgy been able to
hold him off, it would have meant an overall victory. However; 2nd
place is nothing to be upset about and can definitely be considered
and extraordinary performance.
Joey Savatgy:
"It was really cool! Both motos I had good starts. The first moto I should have had the holeshot but I just got caught up in some mud and got squeaked out. Overall it was good. Both motos were solid. I went out for first practice and had one fast lap and two laps total but I qualified 8th. I went out for second practice and didn't do any laps cause I got stuck and ended up qualifying 17th overall. Racing was good though. I knew with the mud, starts were going to be really important. I've been working on the mental side of things knowing that I need to believe in myself again in order to get back up on the box like I did today. I need to know that I can run with those guys. 4-3 on the day for 2nd overall. I will take that."
[caption id="attachment_33326" align="alignleft"
width="300"] Jason Anderson - Photo: Simon
Cudby[/caption]
Jason
Anderson's practice went much better than Savatgy's as he was
able to actually complete several laps and earn a much higher
qualifying position. He was also able to put two good starts
together and by the end of moto 1, he finished just behind his
teammate for a solid 5th place position. The second moto started
even better but quickly went downhill as he was railing an outside
line in a berm and his front wheel simply plunged into the muck
bringing him to a complete stop.
The incident happened so early in the race that he was passed by
the majority of the field. Anderson was then not only forced to
deal with the mud, but also the erratic riding of the others in
front of him also negotiating the slick surface. In an attempt to
move forward, Jason went down several times. After all was said and
done though, somehow he miraculously still finished inside the top
10.
Jason Anderson:
"Today was really tough. I had a lot of fun riding in the mud but things just didn't go my way. My starts were pretty good in both motos but I just made mistakes. In the second moto I was near the lead and then got my front tire stuck in a mud hole. I made a few more errors as the race progressed but still managed to get 10th in that moto. Next weekend is my last ever race on a 250 so I want to go out on a really positive note."

width="300"] Ryan Sipes - Photo: Simon
Cudby[/caption]
Much like Joey, Ryan Sipes had
a career day. He has been contending the GNCC series for much of
the year and has seen his fare share of mud, ruts and adverse
conditions in the process. Everyone knew that he was one of the
most prepared riders on the track when it comes to riding in an
outright mess. He did not disappoint the local fans as Ryan hails
from nearby Flaherty, KY, just a short 3 and half hour drive
away.
In the first moto, he was running in an impressive 4th place when
the thick, sticky mud clogged his goggles and he couldn't see. He
tried to wipe them off with his hand and went down in the next
corner in the process. He strived to pick his bike up and it took a
considerable amount of time. To make matters worse he was also
forced to enter the mechanics area for another set goggles. He was
able to make his way all the way back to 10th by race's end. By
this result, it was clear that Sipes had potential to run near the
front in moto 2.
As the pack exited the first turn, he once again successfully put
himself in a good position. He executed the tough terrain for the
entire 30 minutes plus two laps to an incredible 3rd place finish.
With the way the math worked out, his two results were good enough
to garner him 4th overall just one spot off the podium.
Ryan Sipes:
"It was a good weekend. The track was a muddy mess but I had fun! The first moto I went down and had to get backup goggles but I still felt that I rode good and I knew that I could be up there if I got another good start. I did that and made some passes at the beginning. I took one big digger out there but I was still able to pull off a 3rd. 10-3 for 4th overall, I'm not mad at that."
With only one round remaining in the 2014 season, the squad will
head to Tooele, Utah, just a short distance outside of Salt Lake
City. Savatgy will come in with a new found confidence and try to
repeat his stellar achievement. Anderson will be finishing out his
250 class career before moving up to the premiere 450 class and
will be looking for a win. Sipes will shoot for another top 5 and
then will be heading back to the woods to contest the four
remaining rounds of the GNCC series.

Troy Lee Designs Score First National Motocross Win in Indiana Mud
[caption id="attachment_33330" align="alignright"
width="300"] Jessy Nelson - Photo: Simon
Cudby[/caption]
As if the playing field wasn't leveled enough at the brand new
motocross facility in Crawfordsville, Indiana, the skies opened up
before the first practice and turned a pristine course into a soupy
mess. Mud is the great equalizer and as riders sloshed their way to
the gate for the opening moto, it was anyone's guess who would
win.
TLD's Jessy Nelson
has been staying down in Florida, committed to improving his craft
and riding with the best in the business. You might not think that
a guy from Northern California would be an amazing mud rider, but
when Jessy flew around the first turn in the lead, he looked very
comfortable. He opened a gap up quickly and shades of Colorado
sprung to mind. Could he hang on or would he falter and give up the
lead? Nelson wasn't about to let this one slip away and splashed
his way to his, and the team's, first ever Lucas Oil Pro Motocross
win.
Behind him, his teammates were doing their best to fight through
the muck. Cole Seely
didn't get the best start and he worsened his situation by crashing
on the first lap. Cole put in an awesome ride to come from nearly
last to finish tenth in the moto. Shane
McElrath just couldn't get off the line, and while a start is
always important, it is exponentially more critical in the mud.
McElrath posted a fifteenth in the first moto.
Moto two had everyone wondering if Nelson's first moto run was a
fluke, and a second moto holeshot would prove that it wasn't.
Nelson put his head down and started taking off once again, leading
the race for the first twenty minutes. This time, however, Jessy
hit a snag and washed out in a turn. He was up quickly but the pack
was on him. While he fought to stay in the front, he would crash
again and drop all the way to eighth at the finish. Despite the
hiccups in the second moto, his 1-8 scores would earn him his first
podium finish with third overall.
[caption id="attachment_33324" align="alignleft"
width="300"] Cole Seely - Photo: Simon
Cudby[/caption]
Seely had a good start in the second moto and was in a good
position when he tangled with another rider and went down on the
backside of a blind jump. For safety purposes he was forced to wait
for the entire field to pass before returning to his bike. He made
a great charge through the pack again to finish thirteenth for
twelfth overall. Shane started slowly once again but put in solid
laps for eleventh in the moto and thirteenth overall.
The Troy Lee
Designs / Lucas Oil / MAVTV / Honda team would like to
congratulate Jessy Nelson on a career best performance and
encourage him to continue the trend at the series finale in Utah
next weekend. In the meantime, the crew will spend the next several
days washing mud from every nook and cranny on their bikes,
equipment and person. If you happen to be within driving distance
to Salt Lake City, make plans to get yourself to the final national
motocross of the year next Saturday and watch the TLD squad lay it
all on the line one more time in 2014.

Monster Energy Kawasaki Looks To Clean Up Following Muddy Indiana National
[caption id="attachment_33335" align="alignright"
width="300"] Brett Metcalfe[/caption]
The penultimate round of the Lucas Oil Motocross Championships saw
challenging conditions as a deluge of rain hit the track Saturday
morning making for a muddy mess for both motos and both classes.
Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki's Dean Wilson
went 8-6 for sixth overall while Blake
Baggett put in an impressive ride in the second moto, finishing
just off the podium with a 14-4 finish for tenth overall. In only
his second professional race Chris
Alldredge finished 16-12 for 14th overall. In the450MX class
Monster Energy Kawasaki's Brett
Metcalfe got a good start in the first moto and finished fifth
and in the second moto he got another good start but a late fall
saw him finish 13th for 12th overall. Jake Weimer found trouble in
both motos and finished 37th overall. TwoTwo Motorsports Kawasaki
rider Chad Reed had
his best finish of the season with sixth overall.
[caption id="attachment_33325" align="alignleft"
width="300"] Blake Baggett[/caption]
Racing To The Finish
In the first moto, Baggett was in position to make one of his
patented moves through the field before the conditions took him
down. In the second moto Baggett made his usual charge finishing
strong and nearly grabbing a podium finish.
"Today was difficult out on the track," said Baggett. "The track
was really slick underneath the mud. So I was riding from spots
with traction while trying to stay up. I was riding hard and
pushing to the checkered flag. I wasn't sure what position I was
in, I knew I wanted to pass as many people as I could before the
finish."
[caption id="attachment_33328" align="alignright"
width="300"] Dean Wilson[/caption]
Solid Day
With the challenging conditions, Wilson put in a solid day of
riding to finish sixth overall. In both motos, the Scotsman was
able to get a mid-pack start and rode strong to get to the finish
line. With all of the mud and slop on the tight track it was tough
to set up a pass, but Wilson was able to slowly move forward and
salvage the top-10 finish.
"It was really difficult out there today," said Wilson. "I went out
to the track on Friday to see it for the first time and it was
mint. I wish we could have raced without all of the mud, but it was
the same track for everyone. I have one more race to get back on
the top of the podium and that is where I want to be at Utah."
[caption id="attachment_33322" align="alignleft"
width="300"] Chris Alldredge[/caption]
Learning Curve
Mother Nature threw her best at all of the riders, including
Alldredge, and the rookie showed he was up for the task. As a
Pacific Northwest native, Alldredge knows a thing or two about
muddy conditions, but the heavy amount of rain in such a short
period on Saturday morning put even him behind the eight ball.
After good starts in both motos, Alldredge starting working his way
forward, but small mistakes turned into costly penalties and he
wasn't able to get the finishes he was looking for.
"It is great to be a part of the Monster Energy/Pro
Circuit/Kawasaki team," said Alldredge. "These guys work very hard
to make sure the bike is perfect for me and I wish I could have
gotten better results this weekend. These weren't the most
difficult conditions I've ever raced in, but when you add in the
depth of talent out here it was definitely very hard. I'm ready to
get to Utah next week and challenge for a podium."
[caption id="attachment_33336" align="alignright"
width="300"] Brett Metcalfe[/caption]
On The Cusp
In the 450MX class, Metcalfe was looking strong for a podium finish
in both motos before late race problems saw him fall back. In the
first moto, Metty was able to hold strong and get a top-five finish
as the track was at its most difficult. In the second moto, he was
part of a pack of riders all battling for position when he had a
small bobble that sent him to the ground.He was able to get up and
push forward but could only get to 14thplace.
"That may have been the gnarliest track I've ever raced on,"said
Metcalfe. "I think if the conditions would have been better it
could have been a pretty good race and a great track. It looked
like there was a lot off low, but with all of the mud we were just
searching for traction anywhere we could find it."
Finale
Next Saturday, the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship closes out
its season at Miller Motorsports Park. After it's debut last
season, the Utah round is one the riders have been looking forward
to since the start of the season.
