The Gizmo Mods/Rock River/Yamaha team would excel as competition began in Angel Stadium on Saturday. Their momentum through the series thus far was extraordinary, and continued from start to finish for both 250SX and 450SX classes as racing transpired in Anaheim, California.
T J Albright charged through practice with a fierce riding style, and continued to succeed for 250SX heat two as well. Within the qualifying round, Albright would thrive – accelerating to a notable finish of ninth, which generated a transferring bid to the main event. In the finale, Albright strove for an elite-level accolade – and accomplished his goal, by earning fourteenth at the checkered flag.
Marshal Weltin displayed an abundance of strong laps in afternoon practice sessions, and sustained his momentum through the entirety of 450SX heat one. He would battle for a transfer position, and after obtaining a final finish of twelfth, the rider from Michigan would move forward to the LCQ. Amid the intense final qualifying round, though encountering a bit of misfortune, Weltin would put forth a strong effort to claim eighteenth – seeking to rebound, in the coming weeks of the championship.
The number forty-three of Grant Harlan would soar throughout the technical Anaheim circuit, propelling his way into the night show with notable momentum. From there, Harlan would excel from start-to-finish in 450SX heat one to eventually claim a finalfinish of thirteenth. In the LCQ that followed, Harlan was constantly in pursuit of a higher standing, which eventually led to the Yamaha athlete earning a final result of seventh, respectively.
California’s Kyle Wise was outstanding throughout practice laps in the 250SX division, and would propel his way into the night show, to compete within heat two of competition. Once there, Wise advanced past the green flag with ambition – and battled for a concluding result of twelfth before moving forward to the LCQ. Amid the Last Chance Qualifier, Wise competed with onehundred percent effort – to claim a seventh-place feat, as racers exited the course.
With the third round of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship completed, the Gizmo Mods/Rock River/Yamaha team will now travel to Glendale, Arizona to compete next Saturday.
