Bauman quickly countered
with an inside attack of his
own—one not functionally dis-
similar from those that Mees
had employed to move through
Robinson and Beach, but also
one that struck hard enough to
dump Mees onto the dirt.
That brought out another red
flag, along with plenty of bad
feelings; both of the leading title
contenders were assessed to
have been the causes of the red
flag and thus forced to restart
from the back of the pack.
Beach took maximum advan-
tage of the opportunity, hold-
ing Robinson at bay to earn his
class-leading fourth victory of
the year. Daniels made hay as
well, turning a likely fifth into a
podium finish, while making up a
great deal of points.
Mees did what he could to
slash his way from 14th to an
eventual eighth, closing right
up on the rear of a freight train
disputing fifth—eventually won by
Latus Motors Racing's Bronson
Bauman and also including G&G
Racing/Yamaha Racing's Bran-
don Price and Carver Jr.—before
The twice red-flagged second
premier-class main was even
more of an argy-bargy affair.
Reigning champion Mees punt-
ed both Beach and Robinson
in separate overtaking attempts
that saw him lose a position him-
self to the third rider, all the while
archnemesis Bauman continued
to pull free at the front.
A red flag and staggered re-
start gave Mees a renewed shot
at Bauman, and he took it via a
relatively spectacular and rare-
for-the-day maneuver around the
outside.
