Oakely was giving out awards during this MX season for the rider who had the fastest lap during a race and Motosport.com was giving out Holeshot Awards ... There was also a RC(4) Hard Charger Award also for the rider who passes the most competitors of any given moto of the racing day. Sometimes it's a little interesting to look at stats AFTER a season or whatever has finished and the champs are crowned ... There are a few things that might stick out here if you have the time to glance through this list.. -- (1) Oakley Fastest Lap Program (rider with fastest lap time) 450 Class Glen Helen – Ryan Dungey Hangtown – Ken Roczen Thunder Valley – Trey Canard High Point – Ken Roczen Muddy Creek – Eli Tomac Red Bud – Ken Roczen Budds Creek – James Stewart Spring Creek – Ken Roczen Washougal – Ryan Dungey Unadilla – Trey Canard Indiana – Eli Tomac Utah – Eli Tomac 250 Class Glen Helen – Christophe Pourcel Hangtown – Christophe Pourcel Thunder Valley – Christophe Pourcel High Point – Jeremy Martin Muddy Creek – Christophe Pourcel Red Bud – Christophe Pourcel Budds Creek – Christophe Pourcel Spring Creek – Christophe Pourcel Washougal – Marvin Musquin Unadilla – Christophe Pourcel Indiana – Jeremy Martin Utah – Christophe Pourcel -- (2) Motosport.com Holeshot Award 450 Class Glen Helen Moto 1 – Josh Grant Moto 2 – Ken Roczen Hangtown Moto 1 – Ryan Dungey Moto 2 – Jake Weimer Thunder Valley Moto 1 – Josh Grant Moto 2 – Trey Canard High Point Moto 1 – Chad Reed Moto 2 – Chad Reed Muddy Creek Moto 1 – Eli Tomac Moto 2 – Ryan Dungey Red Bud Moto 1 – Ryan Dungey Moto 2 – Ken Roczen Budds Creek Moto 1 – Justin Brayton Moto 2 – Ryan Dungey Spring Creek Moto 1 – Ryan Dungey Moto 2 – Eli Tomac Washougal Moto 1 – Justin Brayton Moto 2 – Justin Brayton Unadilla Moto 1 – Justin Brayton Moto 2 – Justin Brayton Indiana Moto 1 – Ken Roczen Moto 2 – Trey Canard Utah Moto 1 – Trey Canard Moto 2 – Trey Canard 250 Class Glen Helen Moto 1 – Jeremy Martin Moto 2 – Jeremy Martin Hangtown Moto 1 – Zach Bell Moto 2 – Jeremy Martin Thunder Valley Moto 1 – Jessy Nelson Moto 2 – Zach Bell High Point Moto 1 – Christophe Pourcel Moto 2 – Christophe Pourcel Muddy Creek Moto 1 – Christophe Pourcel Moto 2 – Justin Bogle Red Bud Moto 1 – Matt Biscegila Moto 2 – Joey Savatgy Budds Creek Moto 1 – Justin Bogle Moto 2 – Jeremy Martin Spring Creek Moto 1 – Christophe Pourcel Moto 2 – Christophe Pourcel Washougal Moto 1 – Christophe Pourcel Moto 2 – Christophe Pourcel Unadilla Moto 1 – Christophe Pourcel Moto 2 – Christophe Pourcel Indiana Moto 1 – Jessy Nelson Moto 2 – Jessy Nelson Utah Moto 1 – Cooper Webb Moto 2 – Joey Savatgy -- (3) RC Hard Charger Award Glen Helen – Josh Grant (+22) Hangtown – Andrew Short (+24) Thunder Valley – Fredrik Noren (+21) High Point – Shane Sewell & Zack Williams (+14) Muddy Creek – Josh Grant (+29) Red Bud – Fredrick Noren & Joey Savatgy (+21) Budds Creek – Dean Wilson (+21) Spring Creek – Jason Anderson (+25) Washougal – Tevin Tapia (+18) Unadilla – Cade Clason & Luke Renzland (+17) Indiana – Killian Rusk, Christophe Pourcel & Josh Grant (+22) Utah – Colton Facciotti (+24)
Some really impressive performances this year from all over the field which made it really fun to watch.
But then faded pretty fast. Love his style, looks like he is hardly trying. Very efficient rider. Reminds me somewhat of Windom.
I saw that also and from the stats, you'd think he might be the champ or something... But we know JM19 smoked the field ... I guess this is another case of stats are for the losers ... -- The holeshots pay $500 each so the MO is right there
I love that he came from no where and smoked them. Was not even on the list of maybes at the beginning of the year. Also love his humble kid demeanor.
