WSX 450
For Tomac, the weekend started
uncharacteristically as the eight-
time AMA Supercross and Moto-
cross Champion did not find himself
on top after Saturday's SuperPole.
Rather, fans saw the two-time WSX
vice-champion Joey Savatgy claim
the fastest qualifying time.
The opening moto saw Tomac
start back in fourth before eventu
-
ally finding his rhythm and making
his way to the front. The Yamaha
rider pushed past the early leaders
and found his way to the lead by the
halfway point before going on to
take the win in race one.
Ken Roczen suffered a poor start
but moved his way to second at the
checkers. Tomac's win in race one
set the tone for the night as the vet
-
eran dominated all of the remaining
races, leading every lap of race two
and the SuperFinal, clinching victory
in all four motos on Saturday. After
the final checkered flag on Saturday
night, Tomac remained undefeated
in his WSX career.
The two-time champion and
reigning number-one of Roczen held
on for second overall on Saturday
night. 2-3-2-2 finishes showed
consistency for the Suzuki rider, but
he was ultimately no match for the
points leader Tomac. After a poor
qualifying position, Roczen was
forced to climb his way through the
field for any chance at a podium
finish.
