ing championship rival, Dylan
Ferrandis, came from behind to
snare second late in the main
from Geico Honda's RJ Hamp-
shire.
But in the second main event,
Cianciarulo, who looked to have
the holeshot, locked bars with
another rider in the first turn,
sending two riders careening off
the track, with Cianciarulo also
exiting right onto the concrete.
Cianciarulo kept it on two wheels
but was near the tail end of
the top 10 when he went down

TURNAROUND
Dean Wilson has had a remarkable
