450 OVERALL QUALIFYING SESSION

Eli Tomac is right at home at Thunder Valley.

Ken Roczen was quick to grab the fastest lap time out of the premier class. It was a battle between Roczen, and the top 10 as the lap times were extremely close. Eli Tomac and Adam Cianciarulo were the closest to the Honda riders with the red plate holder, Dylan Ferrandis in fourth. The first qualifying session was remarkably faster than the second as the dry track proved to be difficult for the riders. Roczen remained to be the fastest rider in the day.

FIRST QUALIFYING SESSION RESULTS

Spider web helmet for Webb.

It’s been a while since we’ve seen the 94 setting the fastest lap time outdoors as it was Ken Roczen who ran around Thunder Valley the quickest. The lap time however was just faster than Justin Cooper’s 250 lap time with a 2:05.8. At this point, the track already becoming extremely dry and would prove to get worse as the motos went on. Adam Cianciarulo ran in second place followed by teammate Eli Tomac. Christian Craig set a very fast lap time sitting in fourth place with his teammate, Dylan Ferrandis rounding out the top five.
