P88
by as much as he did on Satur-
day, by 8.3 seconds, but he still
won and in dominating fashion. It
was his eighth Supersport race
win of the season and his fifth in
a row.
"It was a tougher race today
for sure," said Gerloff. "The
tires dropped off a lot quicker
for me today and it made it
tough to maintain the same
speed and consistency that I
had yesterday."
Second place for the second
straight day went to Debise, the
Frenchman running off track
again but not to the extreme
of yesterday's run-off. Thus
Debise ended up second, 6.1
Cup race winner coming back
after sitting out the last three
"west" races in Utah and Califor-
nia. Paasch topped his former
KTM rival Brandon Paasch, with
last year's KTM RC Cup Cham-
pion finishing sixth.
Travis Wyman's first race of
the 2017 MotoAmerica season
resulted in him finishing seventh
on his Travis Wyman Racing Ya-
maha. M4 medAge Suzuki's Nick
McFadden finished eighth, and
second in the Superstock 600
class, just ahead of third-place
Superstock 600 finisher Michael
Gilbert. Connor Blevins rounded
out the top 10.
On Sunday, Gerloff didn't win
seconds ahead of Saturday's
third-place finisher Beach.
Fourth place, barely, went to
Solis over Riderz Law/ Aguilar
Racing's Jason Aguilar, who
came away with the victory in the
Superstock 600 class.
Gerloff now leads the Supers-
port Championship over Beach
by 32 points, 296-264, with two
rounds (four races) remaining.
Debise is third, but 100 points
behind Gerloff.
Saturday's Superstock 600
winner Anthony Mazziotto III was
second in class on Sunday with
Michael Gilbert rounding out
the podium on his Team MG55
Yamaha.
Aguilar leads Gilbert by 17
points in the Superstock 600
title chase. McFadden, fourth
on Sunday, jumps to third—55
points behind.
>>RC CUP
Fifteen-year-old Canadian Alex
Dumas won his first-ever KTM
RC Cup race, the JP43 Junior
Team rider barely holding off
Quarterley Racing/On Track
Development's Jackson Black-
mon by 0.045 of a second after
10 laps.
Anthony Mazziotto won
Saturday's Supersport
600 class but finished
second to Jason
Aguilar in race two.
