MARVIN MUSQUIN : 450 SX / SECOND PLACE
race, he would find himself battling with Justin Brayton early
on. As the number ten would give him fits, he couldn’t seem to find a permanent way around the Honda rider, until lap seven. Finally, he would put the fight to rest, pushing Brayton just a smidge behind, and conclude the race in fourth position. As the main event would be underway shortly thereafter, he would be just behind the aforementioned Cooper Webb to begin. Stalking the number two, he was rather friendly in the bowl turns after the whoop section, where he could’ve ran it a bit harder, but decided to chop the throttle and pivot instead. Making a bit of
a mistake on lap four, he would be pushed into fourth on lap ten, as Savatgy and Roczen would work their way around. Savatgy, shortly thereafter, would be an unfortunate recipient of bike malfunction. He would then work his way into a third place outing; here, it was where he would pass Roczen, with a pack of seemingly rabid competitors shuffling every which way. Avoiding as much roost in the sand section as possible, he would begin to make significant strides on Webb towards the end of the moto. The five(+) second gap now a measly second or less. Inching up to the rear fender of Webb, it was too little, too late, as they nearly jumped the finish line in consecutive fashion. Second would be where Musquin would reside for the finale of the event.
