2019 MINNEAPOLIS SUPERCROSS | FULL COVERAGE 

It’s cold outside, but Supercross is here and the U.S. Bank stadium is heating up! The 2019 Minneapolis Supercross is the sixth round of the season, but it’s the first round of the 250 East Coast series. The anticipation is high for the 250 East riders as they have been waiting to finally start their season. So far the track is shaping up nicely. The dirt is firm and there are quite a few ruts already forming in the corners and on the lips of the jumps.

Qualifying is over and done with for the 250 class and the East riders are on the gas. Austin Forkner and Justin Cooper went back and fourth at the top of the leader board, but it was Austin Forkner who would claim the top spot in qualifying at round one of the 250 East Coast Championship. Keep checking back in with MXA throughout the night for news, results and photos from Minneapolis Supercross.
