man that third race. It was a long
time out there just reading the pit
board, and I just didn't want to
make a mistake or do anything
stupid. I just wanted to make it
to the finish line. It was a dream
day for us."

Australia's 26.
France and Australia put forth
their best efforts, but costly
mistakes dropped them in the
overall rankings. Musquin's 14th
in moto one was dropped, but
another ninth in moto two paired
with falls from Ferrandis allowed
the Americans to get away.
Australia's Mitch Evans fell
early in the last race of the day
and crossed the line a distant
28th. This became the team's
throw away finish but meant they
had to keep Hunter's crash-rid-
den result from moto two.
Sexton was the top U.S.
scorer. "I'm just super happy
with how today went," said
Sexton. "Starts were good, but
Renaux held on for the moto
win ahead of Lawrence, Sexton
and Ferrandis. Tomac was sixth.
"First Nations on the 450 and
winning the MXGP class, it's
amazing," said Renaux. "When I
scroll through all the names in that
class, it's a strong, strong class.
I was so stoked when we started
first and second with me and
Dylan, and he was riding so good,
so it's a bummer that he lost the
front, but we did a great job."
After all of the throw-away
motos were factored (Team USA
threw out Cooper's ninth in race
one—results are based on overall
moto finishes, not by class),
the U.S. Team scored a clear
victory, 16 to France's 23 and
Dylan Ferrandis was the
fastest rider at RedBud
when he was on two
wheels. Even with multiple
crashes, he still helped
get Team France on the
podium in second place.
