Washougal, WA -The
AMA MX National Series rolled into the beautiful state of Washington to
attend round eight at Washougal MX Park. DNA Shred Stix/Star
Racing/Yamaha comprised of #20 Broc Tickle, #48 Max Anstie, #341 Nico
Izzi, and #577 Martin Davalos came in with hopes of keeping their
status of fixtures up front intact. Things proved to be tough, as in
the first practice Tickle swapped out through a roller section and hit
the ground, which in return broke his collarbone. Unfortunately it
didn’t end there, when in the early stages of moto one Anstie crashed
in the very same section and was taken to the hospital. Further tests
had him in the ICU through Monday with a lacerated spleen, but he has
since been released and flown home to rest. Look for more updates on
those riders as they come in, but our day at Washougal did end up
having some bright moments that occured sporadically.
Taking top honors on this weekend would go to Davalos, who continues to
slowly bring his total package together and match it up with the raw
speed he holds. However, after a bad start in moto one and a crash that
brought him into the mechanics area briefly to bend the bike into
proper form, the likeable rider pulled himself up through the field.
The task was accomplished, and he successfully piloted the #577 YZ 250F
up to 22nd place by the races end. Moto two was a much better showing,
sitting 6th on lap one, Davalos battled for 5th through the races
entirety. By doing so, he took a hold of 5th and made it his own with
four laps until the finish due to his determination and closed this
round out positively.
Bringing another positive to a tough day was Izzi, grabbing a 7th place
start in moto one, #341 put the hammer down. After moving up one spot
very quickly, Izzi kept the fight going. With less than four laps to
go, he battled relentlessly to maintain his position. In the end Izzi
dropped two spots, seeing him fall back to a finish score of 9th.
Nico’s moto two began well with him sitting 11th momentarily. The
talented youngster rode hard and held his position by mid race. When
the checkers were thrown, Izzi had slipped back into 18th, and his
consistency was a building block.
Be sure to tune in to the X Games on Thursday to see Jessica Patterson go after the Women’s Super X Gold Medal!

Moto 1 Moto 2 = Overall Finish
Martin Davalos 22nd 5th = 10th
