>> It has been a frustrating year for Justin Bogle as he wasn’t able to sign
a deal until late into the year with the RCH Yoshimura factory Suzuki team. Since linking the deal with the former championship winning team he has failed to show his potential. Bogle has failed to make a few main events this year and when he does get into the main event he seems to struggle. Bogles best race of his career was in Detroit while riding for Geico Honda a few
years back where he went to holeshot both his heat race and main event to go on to take the win. Just was hoping to get some of that Detroit MotorCity magic back this weekend at round 12 of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series. Justin was unable to rekindle the flame that he once had in Detroit and had another disappointing weekend of racing. Bogle failed to qualify out of his heat race, but was able to do so in the semi. The #19 Suzuki rider ran 5th place for most of the semi and was even showing a wheel to the returning rookie of Cooper Webb for a few laps before making a mistake in the sand section. Justin was able to stay on two wheels, crossing the finish line with the final transfer out of the semi. Bogle was able to make the main event which he defiantly needs to do but once he got there he was unable to do much. Hopefully the former winner can turn things around before the season is over and if not, maybe he will be able to shine in the motocross series. One thing is forsure, after two bad years of racing, Bogle needs to turn his career around.
