2019 SEATTLE SUPERCROSS RESULTS, 250 CLASS–FINALLY FERRANDIS!

Adam Cianciarulo came to the 2019 Seattle Supercross for round 7 of the 250 West series with a 15-point lead and a big target on his back. Everyone wanted a piece of him. There were only three rounds after Seattle, so time was running out for Dylan Ferrandis, Shane McElrath and Colt Nichols. Those three riders were grouped tightly, and with each round, it looked more and more like they were battling for second place.

250 MAIN

Dylan Ferrandis almost never gets a good start. But he did this time. Ferrandis started in second behind Jimmy Decotis and his arch rival Adam Cianciarulo was back around fifth. It wasn’t long, however, before Cianciarulo was in second, a few seconds off the lead. For the next 20 laps, the two riders were connected by an invisible rubber band. When Ferrandis would stretch it out, Cianciarulo would come right back. The one advantage that Ferrandis had was a triple that Adam didn’t do until the final lap. It all came down to a dramatic last turn showdown where Ferrandis succeeded in holding the lead by a fraction of a second.  All this time, Jimmy Decotis wasn’t far off, and eventually got a very respectable third. “I’m not used to being in the lead,” said Ferrandis afterward. “I made a lot of mistakes. But I’m so happy. Finally!”

250 LCQ

Robbie Wageman who often test rides for Dirt Bike Magazine, got a good start in the LCQ, and passed Deegan Vonlossberg for the lead on the second lap. Shortly after that, Gage Schehr  crashed and caused a red cross flag to come out. That caused the red flag to come out, forcing  the riders to return to the gate for a complete restart. Next start, Jerry Robin got the holeshot with Wageman second and Killian Auberson third.  Mathias Jorgensen and Chris Howell tangled at one point, causing Jorgensen to miss a section. Jorgensen was penalized and that eventually cost him his transfer spot. On the last lap, Wageman passed Robin to win his first LCQ.

250 HEAT 2

Chris Blose got the holeshot while Dylan Ferrandis was buried in the pack at the start of heat 2. The whoops were already deteriorating in this race and one of the consequences was Honda rider RJ Hampshire baling hard on the season lap. A1 winner Colt Nichols passed Blose within a few laps and started to pull away. His Monster Yamaha teammate Ferrandis was making up time throughout the race, easily setting the fastest times. He passed Blose in the lap laps, making it one-two the the Monster Energy/Star Yamaha team. Shane Mcelrath crashed and would not tto racing for the night.

250 HEAT 1

Adam Cianciarulo started off up front in the first 250 heat and never surrendered the lead, eventually stretching it out to over 5 seconds. The battle for second was carnage in the early laps with Cameron Mcadoo, Garrett Marchbanks and Jimmy Decotis all mixing it up. There was mild contact between Marchbanks and McAdoo early in the race, but then Decoatis came up and passed them both. Cianciarulo won fairly easily with Decotis second. Michael Mosiman passed Marchbanks on the final lap for fourth.
