"Obviously, it's frustra ng. I mean,
we're here to win," said Adam Cian-
ciarulo. "Honestly, I think I was one of
the fastest guys. But that wasn't the
problem, just didn't have the strength
there at the end of the moto."

"It was not that hard," shrugged Dylan
Ferrandis a er his remarkable second
moto rebound. "I just ride as fast as
I can, pass the most riders that I can,
and I think I was dead last at the start.
Nothing to lose, just wanted to come
back the best I can. I wish I could
have more laps. It's the way it is. It's
a big disappointment to not win this
second moto because I felt like I was
on it today. The crash on the start was
really stupid. It's racing, we can't win
everything."

Musquin (25) was firing on all
cylinders in the first 450MX moto.
He grabbed the holeshot ahead
of Osborne (16), Justin Bogle (19)
and Joey Savatgy (17) and never
looked back. He didn't get a good
start in the second moto and rode
around in sixth, admitting afterward
that he lacked the intensity of the
other riders ahead of him in that
moto. Regardless, Musquin, in just
his second race in a year, seems
to be a real threat for the title.
He's currently second in points, 13
behind Osborne.
