MCALLISTER SWEEPS CANADIAN SUPERMOTO D efending AMA Supermoto Pro Open Champion Gage McAllister swept another week- end of racing at the Grand Prix Trois-Riviéres in Quebec, Can- ada at the co-sanctioned event that served as round four of the AMA Supermoto National Cham- pionship Series, and round two of the FIM North America Cham- pionship sanctioned by CMA. And there was no better place to do so for the RSR KTM rider than on the world stage along- side the FIA World Rally Cross Championship. "I think this venue is perfect, honestly," McAllister said. "The fact that we can almost ride on the exact same track (as the World Rally Cross Champion- ship)—with a little bit of differ- ence in the dirt, obviously—I think that's huge, just kind of getting in with these guys." It was also a great way for McAllister to make up for a disastrous Pro Brawl—the non- points-paying race on Saturday— that saw the champ sidelined with a flat tire after a crash early on with fellow Californian Tyler O'Hara. "Yesterday it would have been great to have had some fun up front with those, but stuff happens like that in racing," McAllister said. "You can't win all of them. So I'm stoked to have today work out the way I wanted it to." O'Hara led straight away in the first main aboard his O'Hara/ Intents Racing/Motul entry, but McAllister chased him down and started to put a decent gap on the field. But the race was shortened after two red flags, IN THE WIND P40 Gage McAllister pulled another double out of his hat at the AMA Supermoto National in Canada. PHOTOGRAPHY BY ANDREA WILSON
