PrintMonster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki continues to unleash its wrath upon the 250 class as the PC trio of Dean Wilson, Blake Baggett and Tyla Rattray sweep the podium yet again at round nine of the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship from Unadilla.
Star Racing’s Gareth Swanepoel shocked the crowd at Unadilla as he grabbed the holeshot over points leader Dean Wilson and teammate Blake Baggett. Wilson and Baggett would rub paint early as they tried to track down the South African, but a mistake would hinder Baggett as he crashed while trying to chase down Wilson.
Another surprise came in the form of rookie Justin Bogle. Fresh off the Horizon Award at Loretta Lynn’s Bogle showed little nerves in his first career race as he found himself inside the top-five early. Bogle would battle his way into the top-three before fading towards the end, eventually finishing sixth.
After early crashes Baggett and Rattray would power their way to the front of the pack, but it was too little too late as Wilson had already opened a commanding lead after getting around Swanepoel.
Baggett and Rattray would finish second and third respectfully to complete the Pro Circuit podium sweep, with Swanepoel, and Eli Tomac rounding out the top-five. Bogle was impressive in his pro debut finishing sixth, with Marvin Musquin, Kyle Cunningham, Cole Seely and Alex Martin finishing off the top-ten.

Good job Dean! Go 1-1 today to get that first win this season!
good job justin! you'll be on the top step of the podium in no time!!
Erin Bates - "Who can make the most minimal amount of mistakes" What? You mean, who can make the least amount of mistakes? She drives me crazy sometimes! Congratulations on a job well done.
How did it go with Will Hahn?

Really? That doesn't sound like something Baggett would do but in the heat of the moment, things do happend and people get bugged. Don't think that's the norm for someone like Blake...
US amateur Bogle faster than the two times (and still curent) MX2 world champion Musquin ! Youthstream/FIM are jokes !
Go back to the Des Nations and tell again that GP's are a joke, you must have some mental problems, where does this loser come from?
Did Will Hahn get up?
GC, you are incorrect as well.
Try this Mr. English major----"fewest number of mistakes"
At least Erin is a hot female. What's your excuse?
pizzacorner - Wil Hahn was down for awhile. Last I saw, he was sitting up on the stretcher on the back of the Asterik Mule. Did not hear an injury report.
where was durham in moto 1 and moto 2?
@ jean-joseph de la gertrude, did you recognize Marvelous Marvin on the #125 KTM ?
Me I saw a kid trying to do good but who was only the shadow of himself. Looks like he is still mentally affected by his hurts and doesn't want it to happen again. Marv Attack is not yet back !
Good job Wilson, can't wait for the Nation ! The 250 fight with Wilson, Baggett, Rockzen, Herlings and I hope Musquin gonna be a big time.
I love the great racing in this class this year, but you really have to feel for the privateers. I mean, the PC bikes have $30k motors that last one race. Make the class 250 vs 250, let the 2 strokes in, let the guys running out of a box van have a chance. The factory 250f's make as much hp as a stock 250 2 stroke now, why not go back to the old 125, 250, and open class? What are the powers that be so afraid of??? Come on, give the little guys a chance to compete!!!!!!!!
