which is where he finished for
the moto.
"I just hit a soft spot and it
ejected me when I landed. I'm
okay and that's the main thing,
to be safe and healthy," said
Dungey. "I tried to regroup and come back, and do
the best I could, but I tucked the front end right be-
fore the end and it cost me another spot. But we'll
come back stronger next weekend."
Dungey's 1-12 left him with fifth overall, but
surprisingly he didn't lose any ground to Roczen
in the series standings! Roczen was dealing with a
virus that made it difficult for him to breath and was
unable to take advantage of Dungey's 12th finish.
Roczen went 5-4 for fourth overall. Both he and
Dungey (fifth overall) earned 34 points on the day,
so Dungey maintains his 37-point lead over Roczen
in the race for the 450-class championship.
Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing's Ja-
son Anderson posted a pair of seventh-place moto
finishes for sixth overall.
"My weekend was okay," said Anderson. "It wasn't
the greatest, but it wasn't the worst. I ended up
seventh my first moto and had a good start in the
second moto but ended up getting a flat tire pretty
early on and stopped doing the jumps. I salvaged an-
in the mud. By the time he got
going again, Dungey was in
last place but charged through
the muck to move back into the
top-10. Two laps from the finish,
Dungey made another mistake
and got stuck in the mud just
Blake Baggett
(4) didn't seem
to mind the
mud too much.
He finished out
the day on the
podium.
After winning the
first moto, Ryan
Dungey buried his
bike in a mud hole,
ruining his day. But
it could've been a
lot worse.
