STUMP, MCALLISTER SPLIT WINS AT
LOUDON SUPERMOTO
For the past two seasons of
the AMA Supermoto National
Championship Series, everyone
has been chasing Gage McAl-
lister. But in race one at New
Hampshire Motor Speedway,
June 18-19, it was McAllister's
turn to do some chasing and
his RSR KTM teammate Eric
Stump's turn to win. It didn't take
long for McAllister to get back to
winning as race one proved to
be a wake-up call for the de-
fending champ, and he got back
to his dominating form to take a
victory in race two.
Stump went into New Hamp-
shire with a lot of confidence.
He felt the fast road course at
Loudon would suit his style and
he was right. Stump led straight
out of the gate and ran a solid
race on the track and in the dirt
to hold off McAllister to take his
first win of the championship.
"It's a relief," Stump said. "I'm
glad to finally have a win under
my belt. It's good to know I can
run out in front of the pack. I
look forward to giving Gage
[McAllister] some competition
this year, but as we all know he's
an alien on a Supermoto bike.
That's who I'll be chasing again."
The win didn't come easy. He
had an intense battle with La-
forge Racing/Block Built KTM's
Jake Laforge in the dirt, and
the pair exchanged leads back
and forth a few times. A mistake
by Laforge's allowed McAllister
through, dropping the Loudon
IN
THE
WIND
P36
Eric Stump (77) held off Gage
McAllister in race one to get his first
win of the 2016 AMA Supermoto
National Championship at Loudon.
The two split wins on the day.
