🏁 Stop Watch Nationals and Motofest is a wild two-day event 2 weeks before round 1 of The Pro Motocross Series. All are welcome, few will win, some will be crowned. Or maybe a little controversy...
This past weekend, Justin Rodbell displayed an entirely new level of confidence. He transformed into a new man on his Southern Honda Powersports powered CRF450R, expertly tuned for Motocross racing. Justin consistently placed in the top five during the whole shot, battling it out bar-to-bar with the formidable “Bam Bam” Barcia! He came close to securing a hole shot in one of the four thirty-minute motos. In the Friday Stop Watch event, Justin delivered an outstanding performance, finishing with a score of 6-5, securing 5th place overall. On Saturday, during the Pro 450 Showcase, Justin achieved a score of 3-5, which earned him 4th place overall.
New rider Cade Bradley seized the opportunity to test his new SLR Honda CRF250R motorcycle, against competitors in the Pro 450 class and 250 Pro class, which he aims to challenge later this summer. Cade possesses an impressive skill set, with his fundamentals and knowledge finely tuned. Now, it’s time for him to focus on increasing his speed, as he noted, “these pros are just on the gas deeper and sooner than I thought I could be.” With a renewed sense of direction and confidence, he faced a field of 450s on Friday and a crowded group of 250s on Saturday. He held his own, finishing with a score of 24-27 for 22nd place overall. An impressive debut in the Pro ranks for Cade! The Pro 250 Showcase on Saturday showcased his determination, earning him a 13-10 finish for 9th overall.
Let's go SLR HONDA team! 💪
