Orlando SX: Webb claims 450SX main event win
The 450SX class is heating up in round 7 of the Monster Energy Supercross Championship, even after the downpour of heavy rain throughout the day in Orlando, Florida.
Heading into 450SX Heat one, making his debut, Shane McElrath holeshots his season opener after a delayed start due to a shoulder injury, but he gives Eli Tomac a run for his money until in true Tomac fashion, he makes the pass and takes the win. This class also saw the return of the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna rider Dean Wilson, whilst clearly still struggling with his foot injury, Dean was slightly off the pace which saw him land himself in the LCQ, but then went onto win the LCQ and make the main.
Ken Roczen has a well earned confidence boost after his triple win from the last few supercross rounds, by grabbing a nice clean holeshot in the second main event, but came under pressure with Adam Cianciarulo all over him, he had to put the hammer down, to take the win.
Check out McElrath’s heat race one textbook race start below:
Zach Osborne hole shots the 450SX main at tonight’s night show, and gets a brilliant start whilst getting chased down by Muc Off Honda’s Justin Brayton and HRC Honda’s Ken Roczen. Meanwhile Tomac got a real bad start which puts him outside the top ten on the first few laps. Osbourne makes a mistake letting Brayton take the lead with Kenny on his case, as Webb is charging to make a pass on Roczen, going from third to first in one corner he makes it stick and claims his 13th main event victory of his supercross career.
Meanwhile further down the field Joey Savatgy goes down whilst under pressure from Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Eli Tomac boosting Tomac up to 7th position, whilst Monster Star Yamaha rider Malcolm Stewart suffers more bad luck as he has what looks like a mechanical problem and rolls round for the remainder of the race. Webb takes your top 450SX spot tonight followed by Roczen, Osborne and Barcia.
