| ANDERSON SECURES A TOP-FIVE FINISH IN THE SAND |
| It was another day of firsts for Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Zach Osborne, who claimed his first-career 450MX moto-win on Saturday en route to earning a career-best second overall with 3-1 finishes at the Southwick National. Serving as Round 6 of the 2019 AMA Pro Motocross Championship, the Southwick National lived up to its hype by delivering rough and sandy conditions amid the humid summer air of Massachusetts.
450MX “I had a really good day,” Osborne said. “I did struggle badly in qualifying but all-in-all I had a good day with 3-1 finishes. I was able to get my first moto-win in the 450 class and I’m super stoked to get that out of the way and really happy to just keep making progress.” Anderson, the second-place qualifier, got a great jump off the line in Moto 1 but a crash dropped him back to 10th on the opening lap. He battled his way back to finish seventh in the first moto. In Moto 2, Anderson got off to a fourth-place start and he settled into a top-five position by the end of the opening lap. He battled in fifth for the first few laps before briefly dropping to sixth, and then climbed his way back up to fifth. He finished strong in fifth, combining 7-5 finishes for fifth overall. “My weekend went pretty sub-par,” Anderson said. “We’ll take fifth overall and look forward to improving that for next week.” 250MX “The day started out pretty good, I had my best qualifying position for an outdoor national,”Bailey said. “In the second moto, I was trying to push but about halfway through I just really started feeling the effects from last week in Florida and I didn’t have much left for the rest of the race. So, this week I’ll work on getting back to 100% and head into RedBud.” Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Michael Mosiman did not line up at the Southwick National on Saturday, due to a minor crash sustained during a routine practice session last week. Mosiman is set to return to racing next weekend, July 6, at the RedBud National.
