MONSTER ENERGY AMA SUPERCROSS SERIES, AN FIM WORLD
ROUND 10 / MARCH 12, 2016
TORONTO, CANADA / ROGERS CENTRE
P72
450SX
GOOD START
EQUALS WIN
Everything seemed to be indicat-
ing that Honda's Trey Canard
was going to have a break-
through night in Toronto. He
was fastest in qualifying, he won
his heat race over points leader
Ryan Dungey, and he had all the
confidence in the world heading
into the main event.
"I was just so happy to be
out front," Canard said of his
heat-race win. "I mean, that was
awesome."
But to start the main, he sal-
vaged a decent start after round-
ing the first turn around mid-
pack, and then GEICO Honda's
Justin Bogle—who had grabbed
the main-event holeshot—over-
jumped the first triple into the
track's very first rhythm section
right out of turn one and went
down, causing Canard, Weston
Peick, Mike Alessi, Jason An-
derson, Blake Baggett, Tommy
Hahn, and more, to either fall or
get held up in the melee.
"I'm just bummed I let my
team down and everyone down,"
Bogle said. "That was just pure
rider error. That was my bad. I
took some guys down with me.
Sorry to those guys. It defi-
nitely was not my intention to pull
some dumb move like that."
With that, Canard's night was
effectively ruined, as he ended
up seventh, but it was Roczen
who made the most of the night.
After starting third (following the
Bogle crash), he went to work
right away on Dungey and last
week's winner Eli Tomac. He
passed them in two laps and
took off. That was that.
The real battle was early on
between Tomac and Dungey,
but after Dungey found his way
by Tomac, the Monster Energy
Kawasaki rider continued to
fade until he eventually lost
third place to Dungey's Red
Bull KTM teammate Musquin,
These guys—Marvin
Musquin (25), Ryan
Dungey (1) and Roc-
zen—finished almost as
close together as they
started. Musquin is now
a regular frontrunner in
the 450SX class.
