Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing Team’s Zach Osborne made a sweeping statement in the 450MX Championship on Friday with an incredibly dominant 1-1 performance at the RedBud I National, serving as Round 4 of the 2020 AMA Pro Motocross Championship in Buchanan, Michigan.
Osborne came into Friday’s first-ever Pro Motocross double-header with two overall victories under his belt but the 450MX points leader achieved a career milestone when he made it a 1-1 sweep on the way to earning overall-win No. three this season. Osborne maximized all efforts on the racetrack as he claimed the holeshot in both motos before going on to lead all 35 laps of the day. Heading into the mid-way point of the series on Monday, he extends his championship points lead to 26 with five rounds remaining.
“It was pretty much a perfect day for me,” Zach Osborne said. “Two holeshots and wire-to-wire race wins for the overall. I’m really happy with my riding and my fitness, and my bike is working perfectly so I’m looking forward to Monday and the rest of the series.”
