250 Class Stats
• Breakout Effort: Although he has one overall win to his credit, Joey Savatgy had never won a moto until sweeping at Hangtown for his second career victory.
• Pro Circuit is Back: Savatgy gave Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki its first moto win since Blake Baggett won at Budds Creek in 2014. It was the team’s first 1-1 sweep since Baggett’s win at High Point in 2014.
• Historic Margin: Savatgy’s 15-point lead after just one round is the most since Mike Alessi held a 12-point advantage during the 2006 season.
• Strong Showing: Yamalube/Star Racing Yamaha put four of its five riders inside the top five at Hangtown. Three of the four earned a moto podium, while two landed on the overall podium.
• The Elder Martin: Alex Martin’s Pro Motocross debut with Star Yamaha resulted in a tie for his career-best result of second overall. He climbed from sixth to second in Moto 2.
• Solid Debuts: Rookies Austin Forkner and Tristan Charboneau made their Pro Motocross debuts at Hangtown, both finishing inside the top 10. Forkner was eighth with Charboneau ninth.
