Marvin Musquin swept the podium in the Supercross Round 13 Triple Crown format at St. Louis and became the first winner other than Eli Tomac to win a race since mid-February, while Tomac further extended his points lead.
Triple Crown format races score the overall winner as the rider with the lowest average finish and Musquin finished 2-2-1 in the three events.
This was Musquin’s first win of 2022 and his third consecutive podium finish. His most recent win before St. Louis came in April, 2021 in the next to last race of the season.
Chase Sexton earned the early lead in the first 15-lap race after winning the hole shot and leading every lap. Like Musquin, he swept the podium, but finished third in the last two races and finished second overall.
