It was the Raptor Titanium sponsored KTM Red Bull USA team that were dominant in qualifying with Ryan Dungey going quickest in the 450 class, and Ken Roczen setting the fastest time in the 250 Lites class.
250 Lites Class
Despite Roczen looking very good indeed in qualifying, he didn't have the best of days as fellow Raptor Titanium sponsored rider Justin Barcia of the Geico Honda squad stormed the holeshot with Roczen in a close second. Five laps in and Tomac was pressuring Roczen for the second position. However, we've seen it happen time and time again so far this season and somehow Pro Circuit Kawasaki's Blake Baggett sprinted into the lead late into the race to secure the victory in race 1, with Barcia 2nd, Tomac 3rd and Roczen in 4th. It was another string of Raptor Titanium sponsored riders in the 250 class as Barcia nad Tomac's team-mate Wil Hahn came 5th, Rockstar Suzuki's Blake Wharton in 6th and Roczen's KTM Red Bull team-mate Marvin Musquin in 7th.
Race 2 saw both Raptor Titanium sponsored Geico Honda men Justin Barcia and Eli Tomac squabbling for the lead on lap 1, with Tomac edging out his team-mate to take the early advantage. Neither could rest on their laurels though as the winner of race 1, a rampant Blake Baggett sat just behind third place, with Ken Roczen in fourth. After passing Barcia and going after Tomac, Baggett made a small error and stuffed a jump, dropping him back to seventh. Tomac was able to hang on for victory after that, and secured a 1-3 result on the day, giving him the overall victory! Barcia got another 2nd place, giving him 2nd overall, with Baggett managing to claw his way back up to 4th, securing him an overall 3rd place, keeping his series points lead.

450 Motocross Class
It was another pedestrian win for Raptor Titanium sponsored rider Ryan Dungey in the main 450 Class at the weekend as he easily strolled to victory in both races, with the absence of big names such as James Stewart, Ryan Villopoto and Trey Canard the KTM Red Bull USA and Raptor Titanium sponsored rider looks nigh-on invincible and has almost certainly sewn up the championship for KTM this year. It was also a good weekend for Dungey's fellow Raptor Titanium sponsored rider Mike Alessi who claimed 2nd overall with a 3-2 result and remains 14 points ahead of Kawasaki man Jake Weimar.
