fifth. Within two laps, it was Ferrandis
out front over Cooper and Cianciarulo,
and Cianciarulo needed to finish sec-
ond place if Ferrandis won the moto
in order to clinch the title one moto
early, but it seemed as if Cianciarulo
was going to get some help to that
end from Cooper, who passed Ferran-
dis for the lead early in the race. With
Cooper taking the win, it would've
allowed Cianciarulo to clinch the title
in third, but Ferrandis had other ideas
and chased his teammate back down
in the latter stages and made the pass,
sprinting away with the moto victory.
Cianciarulo dug deep and also
chased Cooper down, passing him for
second with just a few minutes left on
the clock. Ferrandis took the moto win
over Cianciarulo, Cooper and Geico
Honda's Chase Sexton, with Rockstar
Energy Husqvarna's Michael Mosiman
rounding out the top five. With second

25 MARVIN MUSQUIN
9TH 45MX (1-DNF)
Marvin Musquin had one of the best
motos of his career in moto one, chas-
ing down and passing both Eli Tomac
and Ken Roczen to win the moto, but
his hopes for the overall win, and his
hopes for bea ng Roczen for second
place in the tle chase, ended in the
third turn of moto two. "In the first
moto, I charged hard to get around
Tomac and the lap a er I passed
Roczen and it was just awesome," Mus-
quin said. "To me, it was the best moto
of the year. In the second moto, I was
maybe charging too hard off the start,
and I came into that le -hander too
hot and couldn't slow down enough.
Zach [Osborne] was ahead of me, and
I couldn't avoid him, and I basically
landed on him in that li le turn, and
I couldn't avoid that. Unfortunately,
I crashed and tweaked my knee so I
couldn't keep going. It was a bummer,
I wanted to finish on a high note and
also secure my second place in the
championship, but unfortunately, I lost
that."
94 KEN ROCZEN
2ND 450MX (2-3)
Ken Roczen was fast in Indiana. He
qualified first and led both motos, but
with his illness, he just didn't quite
have the energy to win either of the
motos. "I'm just not in a good posi on
