AFT SINGLES
Mile racing with 450cc singles
almost never fails to produce
close, unpredictable racing. That
ultimately proved true at the Red
Kolby Carlile looked even stron

ger in the early going at the Red
Mile.
The resurgent Carlile ran
in third for several laps before a
mistake dropped him to eighth.
There he would stay until throw

Roof System's
Brandon Robinson
to steal away seventh.
Ninth and 10th was decided in

place at the Red Mile might have
been back-to-back wins with a little
more luck and better last-lap place-
ment. The Australian said, "It's been
a good day all day. We won our heat
race, and everything was going good.
There was a little bit of bad luck
on the last lap with a lapper, which
wasn't the best, but I also made a
couple mistakes the lap before that
didn't help. Still, I'm so happy to get
on the podium."
18 MAX WHALE
5TH SINGLES
Red Bull KTM's Max Whale over-
came a size and power disadvan-
tage to come home fifth. While he
made minor inroads on teammate
Kody Kopp's points advantage in the
process, perennial title contender
Whale is anxious to return to the
podium after a four-race stretch of
just missing out on the box (5-4-7-5).
He said, "The day started off not the
greatest, but the team and I worked
hard. We ended up qualifying P3, so
not bad. We got second in our semi
and made the [Al Lamb's Dallas
Honda Challenge], so that's always
good to get a bit of extra track time.
We worked hard—I have to give my
whole team credit. We made a big
jump from [the Sacramento Mile] to
here. I rode good I think even though
the results don't really show it. I'm
definitely not happy with fifth, but not
too mad either."
