Clough grabbed the start to
lead the start of the 450 B Limited
motocross final, however Linville
was quick to make a move and
take the lead. Rockstar Energy
Husqvarna's Brandon Ray turned
up the heat and started turning
the fastest lap times, which moved
him past Clough and to the rear
fender of Linville.
Ray tried to force his way past
Linville on the inside of a right-
hander and the two riders made
contact and went down. Linville
got up and away first, while Ray
struggled to get going, allowing
both Clough, Zaremba, Cremaldi
and Rorred to go past.
Linville took the win with Clough
second. Clough took the overall
victory with a 1-2 moto tally, while
on Thrasher, but Thrasher was
able to hold on for the moto win
and the overall with a 1-1 moto
score. Kitchen was second over-
all with a 1-2, while Park was third
overall at 3-3.
Though he didn't get any wins
in supercross, Thrasher won six
of his eight motos in motocross.
In the B classes, Rock River
Yamaha's Gage Linville,
Team Green Kawasaki's
Jayden Clough and Monster
Energy Star Racing's Nick Ro-
mano dominated. Linville won
Supercross titles in the 250 B,
450 B Limited, and a motocross
title in the 250 B Limited class.
Meanwhile, Romano took titles
in the 450 B SX and 250 B MX
divisions. Clough claimed titles
in 450 B Limited MX and 250 B
Limited SX.
In the 450 B Supercross final,
Eddie Norred (Kawasaki) grabbed
the holeshot, but Monster En-
ergy Star Racing Yamaha's Nick
Romano got out front early, with
Yamaha's Benjamin Garib and
Rockstar Energy Husqvarna's Talon
Hawkins pushing the two front-run-
ners. Romano turned in a couple
of blistering lap times to establish a
safe lead and then cruised through
the remainder of the race.
With Romano leading by nearly
five seconds, Hawkins passed
Garib for second place on lap four.
One lap later, it was Team Green
Kawasaki's Luca Marsalisi drop-
ping Garib to fourth, as Romano
continued to dominate out front.
Romano got a big jump at the
start of the Schoolboy 2 (12-17)
B/C MX, leading Hawkins and
Linville into the opening lap. Both
Romano and Linville came into the
race with heat race wins, while
Hawkins finished fourth in his heat.
By lap four, Romano had pulled
out to a safe lead, while Linville
started pushing Hawkins for sec-
ond. A lap later, Linville made a
move on Hawkins to take over the
runner-up slot. At the finish (and
overall) it was Romano, Linville
and Hawkins.
