Another weekend and another moto sweep for Chase Sexton. The Pro Motocross series landed back on the west coast at Washougal, Washington over the weekend.
Aaron Plessinger grabbed the holeshot in the opening moto of the day. Sexton, who started outside of the top 10, wasted zero time making passes around multiple riders. His lap times got faster and faster. With just a couple minutes to go, Sexton had reached Plessinger and went on the attack. Plessigner fought back but briefly stalled allowing Sexton to get by and win the moto. In the second moto, Justin Cooper was out front. Jason Anderson made a pass for the lead until Chase Sexton came knocking on the door. Sexton made a pass and never looked back winning the moto by 13 seconds for a weekend sweep, his third of the season.
In the 250 class, Tom Vialle and Haiden Deegan went to battle side-by-side. Vialle prevailed. A mistake caused Deegan to go down allowing Ryder DiFrancesco to gain second position. Deegan was able to get back into second but it wasn’t enough to pass Vialle who took the moto win. In the second moto, Tom Vialle was back at it with another holeshot. Deegan attempted to get a run on Vialle again but was unsuccessful. As the laps ticked away, Deegan finally made a pass on Vialle using an alternate line. Deegan continued to extend his lead for the win. Deegan’s 2-1 and Vialle’s 1-2 finishes put both riders in a virtual tie. Deegan ended up with the overall as the second moto carries more weight. He now sits 53 points over Vialle in the season standings.
