250 Moto 1 Report: Pala

Saturday, September 10, 2011 | 5:00 PM

With the 250 Championship having been wrapped up last weekend at Steel City, pride and contracts for next season were the only things still on the line as the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship invaded Pala Raceway for the final round of the series.

Looking to keep their overall streak alive Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki wasted little time showing the rest of the 250 Class who the boss of the class is. The PC freight train of Blake Baggett, Dean Wilson and Tyla Rattray were out front early with Marvin Musquin in tow.

Baggett held the lead early but was unable to hold off teammates Wilson and Rattray as he fell back to third after grabbing the holeshot. But the fight between the Pro Circuit trio was far from over as Baggett would make a late race charge to get around Rattray, and close up on the rear fender of Wilson.

With two laps to go Baggett would close to within a second of Wilson’s lead, but the 250 Champion was able to outlast the late charge from Baggett to take the moto 1 win. Rattray would take home third with Marvin Musquin and Gareth Swanepoel rounding out the top-five.

Other Notables:

- After a first turn crash Darryn Durham and Broc Tickle would fight back from dead last to finish 16th and 19th respectfully.

- Tennessee native Preston Tilford made his rookie debut at Pala and finished an impressive 21st.

- Justin Bogle once again lead the rookie charge finishing in 10th with Kyle Peters and Chris Plouffe finishing in 27th and 40th respectfully

- Jason Anderson continues to comeback from a devastating start to his rookie season. Anderson ran in fifth for a while in moto 1 before falling back and eventually finishing seventh.

Where, why and how did we ever come up with the term "dead last" Hey I have used it also been there done that. Now that was some race with the 250's and they all were pushing it. Those whoops were so nice.
Now all Villo has to do is cruise I hope, but that was a good race both came from the back to show who is boss!
It is not over yet though anything can happen yet, this is Motocross!!!

Congrats Deano! Great battle with Bagget. Too bad Bagget felt compelled to cry about it. Maybe his fury will be redirected in a positive way at MXDN with a win? Insane racing either way. Track looked amazing. Im glad I went. Thanks to all riders for an awesome season.
