ANOTHER SOLID TOP FIVE FOR BLOSE
AND TROY LEE DESIGNS AT A2
MONSTER ENERGY AMA SUPERCROSS
ROUND 3, ANAHEIM 2
Chris Blose continues to impress as the 2009 season progresses. The course at Anaheim 2 was a strange throwback to tracks
of the mid-eighties. But the lack of flow and rhythm in the track didn’t throw Blose out of his. He started the main event off in
seventh position and quickly worked his way to fourth. He was passed by Jason Lawrence near the halfway point and he
would follow him to the checkers for fifth position. That result leaves him tied for fourth in the point standings after the first
three rounds. “I’m happy with the way I rode,” said Blose. Adding, “I tightened up a little bit in the middle of the race but I
was able to regroup and finish strong. I’m really happy with my program here at TLD and we’re going to keep working on
stepping up to the podium soon.”
Steve Boniface made the 450 main event but it wasn’t without some drama. While running in a qualifying position in his
heat race a slower rider lost control of his bike and flew off the track and into Steve’s lane. Steve and another rider were
collected in the carnage and both riders were slow to get up. The TLD team had their first “fire drill” of the season and were
able to get Boniface’s mangled machine to the line in time for the LCQ. Steve transferred through the LCQ and gritted out
a 16th place finish in the main event despite a very sore hand.
Rookie rider Sean Borkenhagen looked fast all weekend but a crash in his heat race and a bad start in the LCQ kept his from
qualifying this weekend. “Borky” is a determined kid though and he has better days ahead of him.
