This Week in Motocross: 2016 Budds Creek National

• Edison Dye Cup in Sight: Ken Roczen needs to score a total of 37 points at Budds Creek in order to clinch the 450 Class title. His lowest single event point total of 2016 is 43 points.
• Clean Sweep: For the third time this season Roczen swept both motos and also led every lap of competition. He’s swept the motos in all seven wins this season and has led 79% of the total laps completed in 2016.
• Carrying the Flag: Rookie Marvin Musquin has carried the flag for KTM in Ryan Dungey’s absence, scoring 124 points the last three rounds. It took him five rounds to score that many points to start the season.
• Going to Work: While he’s significantly improved his starting average over the second half of the season, highlighted by his first holeshot at Unadilla, Eli Tomac is still needing to pass an average of four riders per moto for his 2.5 finishing average.
• Big Mover: Rookie Benny Bloss’ career-best finish at Unadilla vaulted him from 10th to sixth in the 450 Class standings.
• Team USA 2016: The three-rider lineup for Team USA at September’s Motocross of Nations was announced at Unadilla, with first-time representatives Jason Anderson and Alex Martin joining second-year member Cooper Webb.
