Saturday’s Motocross Round 8 at Washougal: How to watch, start times, schedules, streams
The Pro Motocross series heads to Washougal MX Park in Washougal, Washington for Round 8 of the Pro Motocross, season, Round 25 of SuperMotocross as the riders prepare for a two weeks of respite before the run to the finale.
Last week in Millville, Minnesota Chase Sexton pressured Jett Lawrence during both motos, but it was the veteran who crashed in just his third week back from an injury suffered after the season opener. Sexton is the two-time defending winner of this race and he hopes to finally be the one who denies snaps Jett Lawrence's perfect streak of victories.
Meanwhile, Colt Nichols and Josh Hill return to action this week in a bid to be one of the top 20 points' contenders in the SuperMotocross World Championship as the series heads into its final four rounds before the playoffs begin.
JETT DOES IT AGAIN: But Chase Sexton narrows the competitive gap
In the 250 class Hunter Lawrence made a statement last week about how this is still his championship to lose while Justin Cooper won one of the two motos and continues to make the points' battle interesting.
