Fans sound off on last-lap pass at East Rutherford Supercross
Everyone watching Saturday night’s East Rutherford Supercross at MetLife Stadium had an opinion on the last-lap pass for the win during the 450SX Main Event.
Marvin Musquin started the final lap in first position on his Red Bull KTM, but his teammate Ryan Dungey - who is fighting Eli Tomac for the championship - was behind him in second position.
On the last lap, Musquin appeared to let Dungey by for the win and three extra points, although Musquin insisted after the race that he had made a mistake.
