nearly 25 seconds over Roczen,
followed by Musquin, Bogle,
Pourcel, Barcia—who passed his
teammate, Peick, for the position
with four laps to go after getting
up from his first-turn crash—and
BTOSports.com KTM's rookie
Benny Bloss.
Quick on the trigger, Bogle
landed his fourth holeshot in
as many motos at the start of
450MX moto two, but Pourcel
took him out a few turns later,
cutting across Bogle's front
wheel. Bogle remounted nearly
last and eventually dropped out
of the race at about two-thirds
race distance.
After taking over the lead,
Pourcel almost immediately lost
the lead to Roczen and began
looking back to see who else
was coming. He got an answer a
few turns later when Tomac fol-
lowed Roczen's lead by the fast
Frenchman.
Tomac gave chase to Roczen
and finally made the pass six laps
into the 16-lap moto when he
used an outside/inside move to
go by Roczen and take the lead.
Roczen began to drop back a
little bit before Tomac nearly went
down when his foot got ripped
off the peg as he headed to the
finish line that same lap. A lap
later, Tomac lost the front end
and went down, handing the lead
back to Roczen.
Not to be denied, though,
Tomac went back and passed
Roczen yet again that very
same lap to re-take the lead.
He caught and passed Roczen
twice in the same moto.
Roczen stayed close to Tomac
throughout the rest of the race,
but Tomac took the moto win.
