Tomac Wins; Webb Extends Lead to 21 Points

On a warm Nashville night on a treacherous rails that started disastrously for Cooper Webb, he managed to extend his lead to 21 points in the 2019 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship Series. Eli Tomac marched to his quaternary win of the year with Blake Baggett over 11 seconds backside, and Webb filling out the Nissan Stadium podium.

Cooper Webb'southward run of good luck started in his Heat after he was P10 in Qualifying, over a second off-stride. In his Heat, Webb (Red Bull KTM) went down on the first lap when he cantankerous-jumped on Mike Alessi going into a 180-degree righthander.

The restarted Heat 1 continued Webb's fortunes. On the restart, Eli Tomac took the holeshot, but Tomac'due south engine failed on lap 5, sending him to the LCQ and temporarily giving Webb the lead. Tomac's Monster Energy Kawasaki teammate Joey Savatgy took up the gauntlet and chop-chop passed Webb for the atomic number 82 and Estrus win. Musquin crashed in the Heat while running in P3 and somewhen worked his way back up to P8. Finishing in P2, Webb regrettably referred to the blow as a "approving" on the podium, yet showed no concern for the downed riders.
The last strokes of good luck came Webb'south way in the Main Result. With the fourth gate selection, Webb was able to pull off a holeshot. Webb battled for the lead early with series protagonist Musquin. Musquin promptly crashed in the whoops, seemingly taking his Monster Energy Supercross Championship hopes with him. Webb had a fleck of a atomic number 82, over now-2d Savatgy, but it was clear Webb was non the fastest rider in the field. However, Savatgy went down and collected Roczen with him, putting Dean Wilson in P2. Webb led the get-go eight laps until the Tomac freight train passed him by on lap 9 (of 26). Blake Baggett moved upwardly to P2 on the same lap, and dogged Webb for ix laps until cleanly passing him on lap 18. In the end, Webb protected his podium finish and extended his championship lead by 4 points—unbelievable.
Ken Roczen looked like a winner coming into the Chief, and his history of bad luck repeated itself. Roczen (Team Honda HRC) was the fastest qualifier and dominated his Rut with an eight-second lead over Cole Seely. Yet, Roczen was not able to convert his first gate pick into a expert first, crossing the holeshot line in P6. Roczen was upwards to P4 a lap later, and then passed Dean Wilson for P3, putting Roczen behind Savatgy—another rider with frequent visits from misfortune. On lap four, Savatgy lost the front terminate early in a 180-degree correct hander, taking Roczen with him. Roczen tumbled over the berm and remounted in terminal identify, while Savatgy was washed for the night. Roczen, who had serious speed all dark, was able to salve a P8 finish. Roczen now trails Webb by a virtually insurmountable 42 points with three rounds remaining.
It was an "on" night for Tomac, so he won. Much to the consternation of Tomac (Monster Energy Kawasaki) fans and fantasy Supercross players, Tomac'due south Main Effect performances seem determined by his mental state. Despite having to go through the LCQ to qualify later a motor malfunction, giving him a 19th gate pick and a resulting P11 get-go, he was still feeling confident. Tomac moved up to P7 past lap two and into a podium slot on lap 7. A lap after, Tomac passed Dean Wilson and was going after race-leader Webb. It didn't have long for Tomac to laissez passer the defensive series-leader Webb, who had no interest in engaging Tomac. Tomac took off and won by over 11 seconds. That puts Tomac in a necktie for second identify with Musquin for P2 in the standings, 21 points behind Webb with 3 rounds remaining.

Winner Eli Tomac.
Crashing ruined Marvin Musquin's night. Running in P3, Musquin (Ruddy Bull KTM) went down as the Heat clock was approaching nothing, putting him exterior of a qualifying position. Even so, Musquin was able to pass Austin Politelli and Mike Alessi to qualify for the Main with a lousy 16th gate selection. Musquin didn't let that bother him, as he was in P2 at the holeshot line. Musquin briefly battled with holeshotter Webb until Musquin cross-rutted in the brutal whoops and went down on the 2nd lap, remounting in P20.

Marvin Musquin.
Marvin Musquin did an admirable salvage job on a tough dark on a hard track. From P20 on lap 2, Musquin worked his way up to P15 two laps later, so the top ten by lap seven with less than a quarter of the race completed. Musquin was able to selection off Tyler Bowers (lap 8), Josh Loma (lap 9), Justin Barcia (lap 15) and finally Cole Seely (lap 21) earlier his progress stalled at P6 with five laps remaining. With Webb dropping dorsum to P3, Musquin's P6 lost him just four points. Nevertheless, four races from the finish of the year, Musquin needed to be winning, and he is now 21 points out of the pb and tied with Tomac. It was Musquin's fourth time off the podium in the 2019 Monster Energy Supercross Title Serial.

Blake Baggett.
Blake Baggett continues to be equally unpredictable as Eli Tomac. Afterwards finishing in P7 and P8 in the 2 previous rounds, Baggett (Rocky Mount ATV/WPS/KTM) came back to life with a stiff P2 in Nashville. Information technology wasn't easy, as he had a 9th gate pick that he converted to a P5 start. Baggett was gifted P3 when Savatgy went downward with Roczen. Baggett dropped off the podium when Tomac passed him on lap 7, just to take the spot back past passing Dean Wilson 2 laps later. Baggett dogged Webb for ix laps earlier taking over P2.
Dean Wilson didn't return to the podium, merely he was close. As a make full-in rider for Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing for the second fourth dimension in his career, Wilson has not fabricated anyone at Husky regret giving him a ride. Following up the Houston Triple Crown podium, Wilson ran in P2 for laps 4 through 7 earlier surrendering information technology to Eli Tomac. Baggett ended Wilson's podium run with a pass on lap 9. Wilson never challenged for the peak 3, as he was five seconds behind Webb when the checkers waved. Wilson should end the year in P6 in the 2019 Monster Energy Supercross Championship Series. Wilson is 18 points behind Baggett, and 44 points ahead of Cole Seely. Again, an excellent fill-in operation.
It was some other miserable night for Monster Energy/Yamaha Manufacturing plant Racing. You know it's a lousy night for Yamaha when there were no YZ450Fs on-track at the finish. Privateer Ryan Breece's P18 makes him the top Yamaha on the night, fifty-fifty though he completed just 21 of 26 laps. Barcia pulled off after 15 laps and rode to the pits with his mechanic. Barcia has gone 17-17-nineteen in the concluding three races. Backup manufactory passenger Josh Grant simply made it through five laps.
Five riders did not finish the Chief Upshot on the challenging Nissan Stadium track. Vets Justin Barcia and Josh Grant, rookies Joey Savatgy and Justin Hill, and privateer Ryan Breece all failed to brand the end line.
Nine riders either bettered or tied their all-time finishes of the yr. Eli Tomac (P1), Zach Osborne (P5), Tyler Bowers (P10), Chris Blose (P11), Ben Lamay (P12), Kyle Chisholm (P13), Justin Starling (P15), Austin Politelli (P16), and Ryan Breece (P18). This can happen late in the year when injuries thin the field, and other riders have bug with a challenging runway. It pays to hang in in that location until the terminate.
