>> Aaron Plessinger has been classified as a spoiler for a few years now and as soon as one would think that its going to be his year something terrible happens. Like this weekend in moto #2 where he got a 2nd place start behind Joey Savatgy. Plessinger got around Sa- vatgy and was starting to pull away from the rest of the field. It wasn’t ten minutes into the race when Aaron got flung off of his Yamaha putting him on the opposite side of the track then his bike. Pless-
inger was able to get up right away but he was in a blind spot on the track and he couldn’t make it to his bike safely. It wasn’t until former Professional Nick Wey jumped onto the track taking over the flag- gers position to direct the other racers away from the carnage before Aaron could remount. Plessingers bike did get landed on a few times throughout the process and he was unable to finish the race. AP23 can’t seem to catch a break, luckily for him a lot of his fellow 250 com- petitors look to be struggling with putting a solid season together and we’re only 6 out of 24 moto’s in. The championship is far from over but @aaronplessinger_23 needs to limit his mistakes if he wants to keep his hopes alive of leaving 2017 a motocross champion.
