SALT LAKE CITY ROUND 11 450 MAIN EVENT RESULTS

It was chaos as the 450 SX riders roared into the first turn for the Main Event. 

Blake Baggett got out front early and he was riding well as he’s a great rider on slick hard pack tracks historically. Cooper Webb, Ken Roczen and Eli Tomac were battling behind Baggett, Brayton and Cianciarulo when Adam had a big crash in the second rhythm section. Eli Tomac almost crashed when he ran over Adam’s bike and Cooper Webb had nowhere to go when he landed in the rhythm section and he ran over Adam Cianciarulo’s back. Adam looked to be in major pain, but he was able to move under his own strength. Then Eli Tomac passed his way up into the lead with 12-minutes left while Blake Baggett was second, Webb third and Roczen fourth. Eli battled hard with Webb and Roczen, but then he seemingly grabbed another gear and pulled away. Eli Tomac went on to win the Main Event with Cooper Webb second. Ken Roczen would finish third after saving what could have been a big crash late in the race.

SALT LAKE CITY SUPERCROSS 450 HEAT RACE 2 RESULTS

Ken Roczen leading the 450 Heat race with Adam Cianciarulo behind him.

Ken Roczen grabbed the holeshot in the second 450 Heat race with Adam Cianciarulo second and Justin Brayton third. The track is no longer slick from the mud or water applied by Dirt Wurx, now it’s slick because of the hard base and because the top soil is drying out. This track is going to be very challenging for all of the riders. Jason Anderson passed his teammate Dean Wilson in the whoop section to inherit fifth place in the Heat with just over a minute to go. On the last lap Jason Anderson was able to make the pass on Justin Barcia to grab fourth by making the pass in the whoop section again.
