Justin Bogle is closing in on the end of his first full year in the premier class. Last year at Unadilla, Justin made his 450 debut. There, He scored a top ten in his first ever big bike gate drop and has been up there battling ever since. There is no doubt Justin has the style but many questioned whether he could match
the speed of the cream of the crop. With hard work and dedication, Bogle proved he was capable, and can now chalk
his name up as one of the top ten contenders in American motocross. A few weeks ago Justin had clicked off four top ten overall finishes in a row going into Southwick. He was looking to keep the streak alive and with great starts and top-notch speed, it seemed he would be a shoe-in for a top ten or even top five finish. In the first moto, he impressed many by demanding a top five finish with a 4th place. He looked to repeat it in the second moto but unfortunately, disaster struck. He had a very hard crash and suffered a tough injury to his neck. He was hoping to return to the series this weekend in New York but it looks as though he will have to wait another year to race Unadilla again. Justin will work harder than ever and more than likely be back as a top five threat for 2017.
