Totally jacked it up in the heat race one again, but came back out there and nailed it in the main. After that, made the pass early and tried to do what I could to open up a little bit of space, but Ryan [Dungey] was there a lot of that moto, so [he] kept me honest the whole time. We'll just kept pressing on." Behind Dungey came his teammate Musquin, now a po- dium regular in the 450SX class. "Well, overall I'm having good weeks of training, good week- Marvin Musquin chased his teammate Dungey but couldn't get him.
