Team Suzuki Press Office – July 3.

Yoshimura Suzuki Factory Racing celebrated the ‘July 4th Weekend Classic’ in America with Blake Baggett and stand-in rider Matt Bisceglia placing in the top-10 in the 2016 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship RedBud National on Saturday.

Baggett took home a strong sixth-place with a 7-5 moto finish on his Yoshimura Suzuki RM-Z450, while Bisceglia wasn’t far behind, turning-in an excellent 8-8 to finish eighth overall. RedBud marked the half-way point of the series and the best result of the season for both riders.

Baggett came through timed qualifying one of the 10 riders able to clock a sub-two-minute lap around the challenging Michigan track. Baggett’s time of 1:59.662 placed him eighth on the gate, while Bisceglia turned in a time of 2:01.428 to start 16th.

Baggett emerged around 10th at the start of both 450 motos, but he was able to use the power and control of his RM-Z450 to move up to seventh in moto one. He was even stronger in the second moto working all the way up to fifth by the checkered flag.
