In San Diego @supercrosslive, @justinbarcia moves back up to second in the 450SX points standings, while @aaronplessinger_23 hangs on to his 250SX West Championship lead. ⠀ ⠀ In 450SX, Justin Barcia moved up one spot in the standings, into second place, although he is now 28 points behind Championship leader Jason Anderson. There is still a lot of racing left in the season, however, with 11 rounds still to be run, and if anything, this season has proven that virtually anything can happen.⠀ ⠀ Aaron ran as high as fifth in the main event aboard his #23 @monsterenergy/@yamalubeusa/@starracingyamaha /Yamaha Racing YZ250F before a crash necessitated that he race through the pack from a little farther back for an eventual eighth place at the checkers. The lanky Ohioan still carries a four-point lead in the 250SX West Championship chase.⠀ ⠀ Justin’s teammate @cooperwebb2 (#2) looked to be headed for his best result of the 2018 season after notching the win in 450SX Heat Race 2. But, in the Main Event, Ken Roczen collided with Cooper, and both riders went down hard. Cooper remounted, but even after repairs were made to his YZ450F, his bike was too badly damaged for him to continue.⠀ ⠀ Other Yamaha bLU cRU YZ250F riders who finished in the top ten in San Diego included @51fiftyenergy/Yamaha’s @kylechisholm11 and @cycletraderrockriver/Yamaha’s @taft53.⠀ ⠀ Earlier in the day on Saturday, the all-new 2018 YZ65 was unveiled in the Monster Energy/Knich/Yamaha Factory Racing Team Hospitality Area during the San Diego Supercross Pit Party. “With the addition of this exciting new youth motocross bike, aspiring young riders who are beginning to experience the thrill of competition can do so as members of the bLU cRU,” commented YMUS Motorcycle Product Line Manager Derek Brooks. “This all-new bike builds on Yamaha’s renowned history of performance and durability, which translates into great value for parents and endless moto fun for their kids.”⠀ ⠀ (Link in Bio) #yamaha #bLUcRU #victorYZone #supercross #supercrosslive #dropthegate #SXonFOX #YZ65 #sandiego #motorcycleracing #petcopark #downtownsd ⠀ 📷 @octopi.media (at Petco Park)
