in #motocross7 years ago

Congratulations to Factory Red Bull KTM's rider Marvin Musquin #25! Not only on taking the overall win but for smashing the opposition and taking all three main event wins. As you can see from the picture above that means he is the second rider to EVER produce that at a Monster Cup and wins him a cool $1,000,000! wow!

I do find it a little funny for two reasons though...

  1. They spelt his name wrong on the cheque haha
  2. Monster Energy have just paid a Red Bull rider $1,000,000 haha, weird for a competitor to get such a gift :)

The night was not all smiles and sunshine for everyone though... Eli Tomac crashed out in race one, high-siding and slamming the ground hard! Grant did a great job of avoiding him though and he managed to get himself off the track in one piece.

Tim Gajser also made a big mistake and miss timed a jump casing him to crash out and hit the deck pretty hard also. He was on the track for a long time before they moved him and i wish him a speedy recovery. Just goes to show Supercross is no kids game! These guys make it look easy sometimes but things like this show you just how hard this sport can be.

Lets take a look at the stats.

I was rooting for Jason until Marvin won the second race so decidedly. With him being the only guy with a shot at the million... I figured he deserved it with all the heartbreaks he's had over the past few years.

Musquin has really stepped up his game this year. I have always liked his controlled and smooth style. He is a very technical rider.
