Marvin Musquin scores first 2022 win in Supercross Round 13 in St. Louis Triple Crown; RJ Hampshire takes 250 East
Marvin Musquin scored his first win of 2022 in Round 13 of the Monster Energy Supercross series by finishing 2-1-2 in the final Triple Crown format race of the season.
Chase Sexton earned the hole shot in Race 1 and beat Musquin into Turn 1, which is how the riders finished that race. The start was critical again in Race 2, but this time it was Musquin that got the advantage as Sexton allowed Jason Anderson to also get past him. That gave the advantage to Musquin with one race to go. Musquin 2-1 put him in position to capitalize in the final race so long as nothing went wrong.
“It’s tough to win these things,” Musquin told NBC Sports’ Will Christien after the race. “My starts were awesome, and the riding was good. I was trying to apply the best technique as possible.
“This track was awesome today in St. Louis. Super technical with all the off-camber and double-doubles.”
Finishing second in Race 3 capped off the near perfect night for the French rider.
