T
he first motocross round of the new year-long Rockstar Triple Crown Series (a combination of aren-
across, MX and supercross races) in Canada took place at Wild Rose MX Park in Calgary, May 26,
and local favorite Colton Facciotti (Honda) came away with the big win.
Facciotti dominated, leading every lap except one in both motos of the 450 Pro class. He finished
more than 40 seconds ahead of Kaven Benoit (KTM) in the first moto and nearly 50 seconds ahead of
American Dillan Epstein (Yamaha) in the second moto.
Matt Goerke (Yamaha), however, was awarded second overall via 6-3 motos, while Tyler Medaglia
(Kawasaki) was third overall with a 5-4.
Cole Thompson (KTM, 3-7) and Keylan Meston (Husqvarna, 4-6) rounded out the top five overall.
Mike Alessi (Kawasaki, 8-5) was sixth overall, and Husqvarna's Mike Brown collected ninth overall with
a 9-9 finish.
Thompson leads the championship with 221 points, followed by Facciotti with 206 and Goerke with
185. Epstein (146 points) is sixth. This was Alessi's first race of the series, and just the third for Brown.
Seven rounds have been run so far. CN
