front again, but I honestly wasn't
riding very good," Anderson said.
"I passed Dungey and then he
ended up getting me back, and I
was trying to hold onto that train
right there in fifth place. I had a
tip-over again and was just by
myself trying to fend off the guys
behind me."
250MX
While the 450MX class is really
anyone's guess, the 250s have
become a safe bet with both
Lawrence brothers finding them-
selves at the front in nearly every
moto. The same was true on
ROUND 4 / JUNE 18, 2022
HIGH POINT RACEWAY / MT. MORRIS, PENNSYLVANIA

AMERICAN
VACATION OVER?
It looks like Antonio Cairoli's
American vacation is indeed over
after four rounds, which was
his original plan. The nine-time
MXGP champ looked good in the
early stages of moto one but a
run-in with Christian Craig put the
Italian on the ground and out of
the race. "I made a mistake and
touched together with another
rider," Cairoli said. "I put down
my knee really hard. I felt it im-
mediately because this knee is
giving me some trouble already
and it was a big hit. It started
swelling up and fluid inside, so
I pulled off." Cairoli returned for
moto two but got a bad start and
later pulled out again. "With the
knee in this condition, I couldn't
really pull a good start and then
I was out of the top-20," he said.
"I got back up to 13th, but I was
struggling a lot with my knee, so I
decided it's not really a good day,
let's move on. We had a good
time here. For sure I would like to
end up in a different situation but
it's okay. We are not hurt so bad,
just a bad day."
PLESSINGER
PULLS OVER
Red Bull KTM's Aaron Plessinger
pulled off the track while running
up front late in the 450MX moto.
