UNADILLA PRACTICE GALLERY
Alex Martin was the fastest qualifier at 2:19.358. Unfortunately he ended the race seventh overall (13-5).
Austin Forkner qualified eighth and ended the day on the podium third overall (7-2).
Cooper Webb dominated at Unadilla. His biggest strength is consistency. 1-1 for a win and 50 more points.
Dean Wilson qualified seventh and ended the day eighth overall.
Brandon Scharer is among the privateers left behind in the dynamic 250 class. A single AMA point was earned for placing 20th in the first moto.
Ken Roczen rarely qualifies first. If he does watch out. Roczen flew to a 1-1 finish.
There are two more professional races left for Andrew Short. The Colorado native salvaged a 16th overall after DNFing the first moto.
Weston Peick qualified fifth and would end the day seventh overall (5-9).
Eli Tomac qualified in fourth and would end the day in third. Unless an act of God happens to Roczen, Tomac will finish second overall in the championship.
Jessy Nelson hasn’t had an idea 2016. While he finished sixth in the first moto, a crash in the second moto pushed him back to 24th place finishing 14th overall.
Zach Osborne can race among the fastest. Unadilla was not the place to show that. He left without a single AMA point.
Joey Savatgy finished the first moto in second place. A DNF in the second moto only widened his gap from winning the championship.
Jordan Smith finished fifteenth overall.
Filthy Phil Nicoletti went out as a New York Yankee. He finished the day ninth overall.
Austin Forkners mechanics scramble to fix the bike.
Matthew Bisceglia finished 9-10 for 10th overall.
Adam Cianciarulo was among the many to DNF the second moto. 11th overall isnt the worst position he could have ended the day with.
Kyle Chisholm had uninspiring qualifying times. He placed much higher in the race finishing 13th overall.
Aaron Plessinger needed a overall podium this season and at Unadilla, he got it.
Justin Rando participates in a random crash.
Marvin Musquin rode to a strong second overall.
Justin Barcia finished fifth overall. We are wondering where his speed from last year went.
