After a two week break the Division 7/Star Racing/NCY/Yamaha Team riders returned to action for the tenth round of the AMA National Motocross season at the Spring Creek Motocross Park in Millville MN.
First up was Wil Hahn who had breakthrough ride which was much needed. Hahn set himself up well in moto one by grabbing a 10th place start, allowing him to break away. From there, he rode aggressively and stayed strong well into the race, moving up to his eventual finishing spot of 8th. A mediocre start in moto two, 14th, Hahn stayed persistent climbing to 12th by lap four. Then late in the moto he capitalized on a few tiring competitors, which raised the Division 7 backed rider to 10th and a stellar overall score of 8th.
Next in line would be Broc Tickle, starting moto one upfront in 6th, the 19 year old hung tough. Faltering just slightly mid race, only falling back a few spots, Tickle pushed hard finding his way to a awesome 6th place finish. Unfortunately, moto two for Tickle began with him getting knocked down in a first turn pile up. This caused a one of his radiator hoses to get punctured, resulting to an early departure from the race. However, even with a DNF he still came out with a 13th overall on the day.
Also having one good moto, one bad moto on the weekend was Jake Moss. After pummeling himself into the ground on the first lap of moto one, Moss rode back to the 23rd position. Moto two was solid for the Aussie, as he started 9th, raced his way into 6th, and ended up settling down in 8th taking home 14th overall.
Lastly, Matt Lemoine had strong rides going in both motos, only to be taken out by mechanical issues. In moto one, Lemoine had a super impressive go of things where he held 4th almost the entire race, and moto two saw him hold down 8th until late in the race.
