to see if we could get around the
ruts. Moto two was a real battle
right to the end and leaving here
with the win is huge."
Roczen finished third in
the moto, though well back of
Tomac and Musquin, to nab
fourth overall with a 7-3.
Barcia, however, finished
out the day on the podium with
a 3-5. He too was well off the
pace in the second moto, cross-
ing the finish line one minute
and 17 seconds behind winner
Tomac and nine seconds behind
Roczen.
Hill, was impressive on the
450, nailed a top-five overall fin-
ish with a 4-6.
Musquin attempted a handful of
passes, only for Tomac to dig
deep and hold onto the lead at
the checkered flag, winning by
just over a second in what was
one of the most exciting finishes
so far this year.
Although the perfect season
is over, Tomac kept his perfect
overall win season in tact and
leaves round four with the same
points lead he came in with—18
over Musquin.
"I really had to earn this one
today so it feels great to take the
overall win," Tomac said. "I felt a
little off in the second half of moto
one, so we made some adjust-
ments and took a look at my lines
shot to start moto two in front
of Tomac, Musquin and Ben
Lamay (TPJ/Fly Racing). Im-
mediately, Musquin moved over
on Tomac to secure the second
spot, then set out after Roczen
but was thwarted when Roc-
zen got off-rhythm in the rollers
and slowed him down, allowing
Tomac to go around the outside
of both of them and take over
the lead. Roczen immediately
passed Tomac again, but gave
the lead back when he went
off the track a lap later. With
Tomac finally securing the lead,
Musquin then found his rhythm,
went by Roczen, and then set
out after Tomac. On the final lap,
Justin Barcia was
happy with third
overall but not
happy that he
wasn't battling with
the two leaders
ahead of him.
