2018 HANGTOWN NATIONAL | COMPLETE COVERAGE
Marvin Musquin rode well in qualifying and to take second.
Ken Roczen rode conservatively in Hangtown. He qualified 9th.
Justin Barcia looked good on his Factory Yamaha qualifying third.
Jason Anderson had trouble in the first qualifying session, but pick up his time by over a second in the second qualifying session.
Eli Tomac blew away the competition in the first qualifying session at Hangtown. Eli was almost two full seconds faster than the second fastest rider Marvin Musquin.
Can Eli Tomac get back to back AMA Outdoor National Championships this year? He always has the speed as he showed this morning here in Hangtown. The heavy hitters in the 450 class this year will be Marvin Musquin, Justin Barcia and Jason Anderson. We don’t know how Ken Roczen will manage after his horrible crash earlier this year during the 2018 Supercross series in San Diego, but we are sure he will give it 100 percent. Under the radar riders will be Christian Craig, Blake Baggett and Weston Peick.
