and Webb.
Then it was Jeremy's turn to
falter. He swapped out, handing
second to Webb, who chased
down and eventually rode
around Alex Martin for the lead.
And things got worse for Alex.
As he chased Webb, Osborne
caught fire and caught up to
Alex, passing him for second on
the last lap. The three—Webb,
Alex Martin and Osborne—all
crossed the finish line within 1.6
seconds of each other. Jeremy
Martin finished 27 seconds
behind his brother in fourth,
while McElrath held on to fifth,
finishing another four seconds
back. CN

seconds separated the two for
most of the race, then Savatgy
make a late-race push and got
to within a second of Webb.
Even with just a couple of laps
left, there was plenty of time to
strike, but small mistakes by the
Kawasaki rider prevented him
from letting that happen.
Meanwhile, Forkner, in third,
was doing a great job of holding
back two-time champ Jeremy
Martin. While they argued over
third, Alex Martin as able to
sneak up on both of them and
pass them in rapid succes-
sion. Jeremy would also get by
Forkner but the damage was
already done, with Webb taking
the narrow win over Savatgy, and
then Alex Martin, Jeremy Martin
and Zach Osborne, who made a
late pass on Forkner for fifth.
Savatgy took the early lead
in the second moto but had
a tip-over on the third lap that
dropped him to fifth. He would
crash again on the 11th lap. This
one was a nasty and a costly
one. He was visibly rattled in the
crash and slow to his feet. To
make matters worse, he had to
pull into the mechanics area get
his bike straightened. He would
eventually finish 16th.
When Savatgy went down the
first time, Shane McElrath took
over the lead but moments later
ran off the track, handing the
lead to the third different rider,
Alex Martin, making it a Yama-
