but couldn't make a pass stick
and was forced to settle for
fourth place. Dungey's team-
mate Marvin Musquin passed
Canard, as well, with a few laps
to go to snare fifth place in the
moto, while Canard was forced
to settle for sixth.
With his 1-1 performance,
Roczen extended his points lead
to 12 points over Dungey as the
series heads into a weekend off.
Dungey still managed second
overall with a 2-4, and Tomac
ended up third with his 5-2 score.
But it was Tomac and
Dungey who were on the
move. Every time Dungey got
behind Tomac, Tomac would
pass someone else as the
two moved forward through
the field. At the halfway point,
Tomac had remarkably caught
Seely in second place, then
passed Seely a lap later. It took
Dungey quite a few laps longer
to get up to Seely, but he found
his way by Canard for fourth on
lap 12 of 16. In the final laps,
he made up ground on Seely,
in an uncharacteristic move for
Dungey, he cross-rutted and
went down all on his own on the
opening lap and got up outside
the top 20. Also midpack was
local hero Tomac on lap one.
As Canard led, his teammate
Seely went to work on him and
passed him for the lead on the
third lap, but it was at just about
that time that Roczen had caught
the Honda duo, and he went by
them both in short order to take
over the lead, and once again
run away with a moto victory.
Jason Anderson (21) got off to a
fast start in the first 450MX moto
but Colorado's thin air eventually
caught up to him.
