SALT LAKE CITY SUPERCROSS ROUND 17-450 QUALIFYING UPDATED

 

The last round of the 2020 Supercross season comes down to the seventh round held at Rice-Eccles stadium in Salt Lake City. Eli Tomac and his Monster Energy Kawasaki have a near impossible points gap to bridge, with Cooper Webb the only rider in the field who has a chance to overtake Tomac. If Cooper takes the win Eli has to finish 19th or better to clinch it. By the way, Eli’s worse finish this season is a seventh and if Cooper fails to win the main, Mr. Tomac will clinch his first 450 SX title just qualifying for the main event!

THE SECOND QUALIFYING HEATS

Zach Osborne did a huge crash in the whoops and did not finish the second qualifying heat. After getting checked out by the Alpine Star medical unit everything was fine internally, though Zach says it doesn’t feel too wonderful. Eli and Webb tied for the fastest time in the second qualifying heat.
