THOMPSON TOPS CANADA
TRIPLE CROWN
C
ole Thompson (KTM) was the big winner at the
third round of the Rockstar Energy Triple Crown
in Quebec, Canada, November 3.
In the 450 Pro-class final, Thompson was ninth
after the first lap, while Colton Facciotti (Honda)
led the way. Thompson, however, slowly worked
his way up through the field and took over second
place from Phil Nicoletti (Yamaha) on the 13th of
the 20-lap race. From there, Thompson reeled in
Facciotti, which led to a last-lap showdown be-
tween the two riders. In the last turn, just before
the finish-line jump, Thompson dove to the inside
of Facciotti and the two bumped, and
Facciotti went flying off the track, landing
awkwardly on his back. Thompson ended
up winning the race and Facciotti was
credited with second place.
Facciotti reportedly suffered back and
lung injuries in the fall.
Third place went to Nicoletti. Cody
Vanbuskirk (Kawasaki) and Tyler Medaglia
(Kawasaki) rounded out the top five.
Thompson leads the championship
with 694 points, followed by Facciotti
with (683). Matt Goerke is third with 620
points. CN
