Marvin Musquin finishes 2nd at thunder valley mx to maintain lead in 450 championship

Musquin rode a hard-fought race at the notoriously challenging Thunder Valley National. Despite the high elevation and the difficult track, Musquin, the current red plate holder, was the fastest 450 qualifier of the day and went 4-3 for second overall to maintain his lead in 450 rider point standings. Musquin went down with a group of riders at the start of the first 450 #moto, but quickly remounted charged from last to 16th by the end of the second lap. He continued to push and navigated his KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION into 11th by the next lap.

He charged hard and battled up to seventh before shadowing sixth at the halfway point then latched on to a freight train of riders in the front of the pack. He made the pass for fifth shortly thereafter, then got into an epic battle with the riders around him with eight minutes to go. Holding his ground, he charged into fourth and set his sights on the top-three. He was fired up and continued to battle, but fell back to fifth after a charge by fellow KTM rider Blake Baggett. He stayed focused and made the pass for fourth with two laps to go, and would eventually finish fourth.
