Matt Goerke won the overall with a 2-1 after Dillan Epstein won the first moto.

450 CLASS

Matt Goerke ran second for most of the first 450 moto. He was unable to pass the leader Dillan Epstein. Dillan Epstein may have been on his way to his first big Pro win when he led the second moto for 11 laps, but then Dillan fell down and Goerke got the top spot. Matt’ss 2-1 moto scores gave him the overall. Rockstar Husqvarna’s Christophe Pourcel looked like he was going to run away with the Canadian 450 National Championship, but Pourcel faltered in Calgary. He finished third in the first moto, but fell in the first turn of moto two. His 3-8 finishes put him in fifth place at day’s end, which cost him the points leader’s red plate.
