5TH (5-5) 450MX
"The day was pre y good at Hangtown,"

day is nothing to be too bummed about,
but I'm not crazy happy—I want more.

turn double in the first part of
the track. He stalked the points

pass for the lead with just three
minutes remaining. The two rode
nose to tail all the way to the
finish with just 0.39 seconds
separating them at the line. The
