On a hot and muggy day at Riverglade Raceway, the gate dropped this past weekend on Round 7 of the Rockstar Energy Triple Crown MXTour Series. The Riverglade track was in perfect condition as the riders battled hard during their only visit this year to Canada’s beautiful east coast. In the 250 Pro/Am class, Redemption Racing KTM rider Joey Crown took his first overall win of the season. In the 450 class, Red Bull Thor KTM rider Cole Thompson rode hard all day and he also took home his first overall win of the 2018 outdoor season. As the riders and teams now get ready for Round 8 this weekend in Quebec, we take a look back at some James Lissimore photos from Riverglade Raceway for this weeks Behind the Lens.
These two riders didn’t make it onto the Riverglade podium, but they sure charged hard all day long.
Although he didn’t win a moto, Cole Thompson rode strong in Moncton and won his first 450 overall of the season.
Who would’ve predicted that with just four motos to go in the 250/Am series, Joey Crown is six points out of the lead.
Considering it was his first race for the Monster Energy Alpinestar Piller’s Kawasaki Team, Jacob Hayes rode very strong in both motos.
Jeremy Medaglia was back in Moncton, this time on a Honda. In both motos, Jeremy rode decent and looked much more comfortable on the red bike.
After his DNF at Gopher Dunes, and his off day in Moncton, Shawn Maffenbeier needs to find something in the coming weeks if he wants to defend his 250 title in 2018.
Wearing some nice looking 2019 Fly Racing Gear, Josh Osby rode better than we’ve see him ride all season long at Round 7.
These two Rockstar Energy OTSFF Yamaha riders appear to be finding each other quite a bit lately on the race track.
With two rounds to go and a slim six point lead in the 250 class, Jess Pettis will be no doubt be feeling a lot of pressure this coming weekend in Quebec.
After Tyler Medaglia fell in the opening practice and sliced his side open on his footpeg. After a trip to the hospital, he returned just in time for the opening 450 moto. Tyler rode hard all day long but was in obvious pain from his injury.
