Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki’s Adam Cianciarulo achieved his third 250SX main event victory of the season at round 5 of the 2019 AMA Supercross series at Petco Park in San Diego. He grabbed the holeshot in the main event and led all nine laps to take the win and the point lead.
Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki’s Marchbanks had an evening of career firsts in San Diego. He scored his best-ever qualifying position in third going into the night program. A first-turn crash in the second heat race sent him to the Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ), where he would go on to win the first LCQ of his career. In the main event, Marchbanks found himself inside the top 10 off the start and quickly began to charge forward. However, due to the muddy conditions, he struggled with vision while coming through the field and was forced to remove his goggles, but he soldiered on and fought up to second place behind his teammate. The rookie currently sits in eighth place in the point standings.
JGRMX/Yoshimura/Suzuki Factory Racing’s Jimmy Decotis finished third in his heat race and grabbed a top-five start in the main event. He methodically picked off riders through the muck and passed for third place on the final lap to tie his career-best finish. Decotis’ performance moved him up to sixth in the point standings, only two points out of fifth place.
Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/KTM’s Shane McElrath and Red Bull/Thor/KTM Canada’s Jess Pettis rounded out the top five, respectively.
