ADAM CIANCIARULO VICTORIOUS IN MINNESOTA MUD

Adam Cianciarulo grabbed the momentum back by winning the second moto and the 250 class overall. Two good starts put him at the front of the pack in both of the motos, but a few mistakes in moto one kept him from that moto win. Hunter Lawrence dominated the first moto, but was unable to put together a good second moto, ending the day third overall. Alex Martin crossed the line second in both of his motos, but was docked one spot in moto two after going off the track right off the start. Here’s how the rest of the 250 class riders finished out the day: (For extended coverage of the 2019 Spring Creek National MX, click here.)

250 Moto One

With inches of water on the ground and a shortened track, the 250 class riders took to the track for the first moto of the day. Privateer Ramyller Alves jumped out front of the pack early, but an off track excursion coming around the first turn put him further back in the pack. Hunter Lawrence, Adam Cianciarulo and Alex Martin took advantage of good starts and led the 250 field around for the remainder of the race. Cianciarulo took a dive off the side of a roller, allowing Martin to pass. From there, the gaps between first and second, and second and third built up enough to where the battles amongst the riders settled down, but the battle from the elements raged on as many riders suffered mechanical DNFs. Hunter Lawrence pulled through to the finish, however, taking the first 250 class moto win, with Alex Martin in second and Adam Cianciarulo in third. Here’s how the rest of the 250 riders rounded out the first moto:

250 Moto Two

Adam Cianciarulo did what he needed to do for the weekend’s overall, by winning the second moto after his third place in the first moto. Cianciarulo got out front early and never looked back from there, building up a nearly 15 second lead by the time the checkers flew. Alex Martin crossed the line in second, but ultimately was penalized a position because of him going off of the track at the beginning of the moto. Colt Nichols had a much better ride than he did in the first moto, battling with Martin for much of the moto and physically finishing third, but would move up to second with Alex’s penalty. Here are the results from 250 moto two:

1 Adam Cianciarulo
2 Colt Nichols
