~ M orDeROSS AMANational Championshipl25/250cc MX Series: Ronnds7/Final e Jimmy Gaddis gets a wheel in front of Denny Stephenson (23) and the pack a t th e star t of the first 125cc National moto, Steve Lamson was the runner-up in the 125cc class with 4·2 mo to finishes. of the 40-rider field, th e Yamaha rider was u p to 10th by the eig h th lap, then knocked off th ree more riders in the next two laps.' He passed teammate Dubach on the I I th revolution and was up to six th a lap later before dropping Ma tiasevich to sixth as the y passed the two- lap board. At the end, the top six read : Sta nton , Bayle, La Ro cco, Ward, Bradshaw, Ma tiasevich . " In the second mot o I tri ed my best to win , but I had a bad start and J eff was. rid in g very good toda y," Bayle said. "Je ff was very good toda y and the track was very hard. Everybody can go fast for two or three la ps, but it 's hard to go fast a nd stay o n th e bike ClII for 30 m inutes." Resu lts 20 the title. but there was no celebra tio n, it was all very low-key. The second mot o belonged to Sta nto n fro m start to fin ish. This ti me he go t out first a nd had a 50-yard lead a t the end of th e first lap. He ma de it look easy, though it was decep tive. " It 's never easy," he said. "It's a ro ugh trac k. I neve r quit. I just kept goi ng forward. I got a good start, a nd that he lps out tremendous ly." It certa i n ly helped Ba yl e. The Frenchman was away better, about eighth, but was up to third by th e thi rd la p a nd past Ward for second on the seventh circuit. By then Stamon had close to a 16-second cushion so Bayle rode alone, th ough he quickly established 10 seconds on Ward, whose back prob lems wer e slowing him down. On the ninth lap, La Rocco was pas t Ward for third, surprising since his second moto start was little bett er than his first. "I got a bad spo t on the lin e because of m y first moto finish ," LaRocco exp lained. " I was just cha rgi ng hard er than most of them were. Everyon e was scared of th e bumps o r t ire d or wha tever." Getting a worse start than La Rocc o ' was Bradshaw. Awa y abo ut 25th o ut 125 Q UAL I: I. Denny Steph enson (Su.) ; 2.
