Briefly...
Adam Cianciarulo sat out RedBud
due to a sore shoulder he suffered in
a practice crash on Thursday before
the race. Luckily, it was not the shoul-
der the Monster Energy Pro Circuit
Kawasaki rider injured last year that
took so long to rehab. However, the
shoulder was still swollen on Friday
and the team decided it wasbest for
Cianciarulo to sit out the race.
Team HRC Honda's Cole Seely
sat out of competition for the sec-
ond straight week, following a crash
while practicing just prior to the
Budds Creek race. After trying to
ride late this week, Seely and his
team thought it best to take some
more time to heal a pulled muscle in
his leg.
Justin Hill made his return to rac-
ing at RedBud after missing several
rounds due to a concussion. The
Red Bull KTM rider went 11-15 for
14

.
Yamaha came close tp having an
epic weekend in motocross, with
Justin Barcia and Jeremy Martin
winning both classes at the RedBud
National and Romain Febvre winning
the MXGP class in Sweden the next
day. Unfortunately, Yamaha didn't
quite win them all with Honda rider
Tim Gaisjr taking the MX2-class win
in Sweden. Yamaha, however, did
take second overall thanks to Valen-
tin Guillod. Still, it was a pretty darn
good weekend for Yamaha at the top
level in motocross.
There was talk in the pits that RCH
Suzuki's Ken Roczen wasn't quite
100 percent at RedBud. If that was
the case, he made no mention of
separated us a bit, but I was
feeling confident and happy with
the result. I won last week in the
mud and I knew people would
think that I won because of the
conditions, so I really wanted to
win in dry conditions and show
tally and Barcia walked away
with his second-straight win.
"In the first moto I got the
holeshot, but Dungey closed in
and made the pass," said Bar-
cia. "I closed back in but then
some lappers got in the way and
Jeremy Martin (1)
never gave up in both
250 motos and was
rewarded with the
overall win.
