>> Round 7 didn’t go as planned for Bogle but it wasn’t for the lack trying, heck it wasn’t even because his sand skills. It was more for the fact that Bogle got together with riders on lap one in both moto’s and ended up tasting the Southwick sand in both races. In race one Bogle got together with Marvin Musquin and Henry Miller just a few corners in on lap one which put all riders at the back of the pack. The #19 of Bogle was able to get back on his bike right away and was up to 23rd after the opening laps. After 10 minutes of racing Bogle got himself in 12th position, by this time the rest of the field has a sizeable gap on Bogle. It took Justin the rest of the 20 minutes to catch the riders ahead of him and he was able to get by three riders at the very end to get 9th. The RCH Yoshimura rider of Bogle crashed on lap one in moto two and was forced to play catch up once again. Sadly it looked as if Bogle used up a lot of his energy earlier in the day as he wasn’t able to slice through the field in moto two as he did moto one. It wasn’t until the mid way mark when Bogle seemed to catch a nice groove in the sand. This might not have ever happened if he wasn’t able to latch onto the #51 machine of Justin Barcia who had podium speed all day. The Justins came together when Barcia had a crash at the mid way point. This allowed Bogle to follow Barcias lines around the track, it also allowed the #19 to follow the #51 through the field. Bogle would make it to 13th for 10th overall.
