Kawasaki's Joey Savatgy grabbed the hole-
shot, while his teammate, Tomac, started

94 KEN ROCZEN
2ND 450MX (2-3)
Ken Roczen grabbed a podium finish, his
first since High Point, and made up four
points on Marvin Musquin in the race
for second in the championship. "I can't
really complain today," Roczen said. "If
you've seen my last few weekends, today
was actually really good for me. I'm pre y
happy to be back on the podium and to
have an overall be er day than in past
weeks. In both races my starts weren't
that great, but I was able to make passes,
and find the front of the pack pre y
quick, which was nice. I was trying to be
aggressive un l the end and give it my all
but Eli was on it all day, and I just wasn't
able to hold him off."
92 ADAM CIANCIARULO
2ND 250MX (3-2)
"You're always conscious of the points,
but now a er winning this year, I crave
the win and expect it of myself," Adam
Cianciarulo said. "Most of the me I've
been happy with second because it's
been an off day, but today I felt like I was
the fastest out there and really wanted
it. I just couldn't get by and had a few
mistakes here and there in that first moto
that cost me."
