KTM - Ryan Dungey takes second consecutive US 450SX victory at Anaheim 2
Ryan Dungey had the third fastest lap time in the afternoon practice qualifying sessions for a great gate pick in his heat race. He made a solid start and quickly worked his way into the lead to take the win. His teammate, Marvin Musquinalso had a good jump off the gate in his heat race but was pushed off at the start. He went on to fight his way back into the action to finish sixth in the heat but missed automatic transfer into the main #event.
Musquin quickly regrouped and lined up for his semi race where claimed the holeshot only to lose the lead after a mistake in the whoop section. He managed to stay in second place and went on to secure his main #event start.
Main Event
Dungey got a good jump in the start of the main and was sitting second behind fellow #ktm rider, Davi Millsaps. He quickly maneuvered around Millsaps and hit the front on his Red Bull KTM 450 SX-F Factory Edition bike. The reigning champion then pulled a gap on the rest of the field and went on to claim his second 2016 victory.
“I was really happy to get into the lead early,” Dungey commented after the race. “I just wanted to get out front, ride my own race and pull away. It’s a lot easier when you can get out front and focus on your own rhythm. I’m really glad to get this win and hope to keep this momentum going next weekend.”
Meanwhile, Musquin was once again pushed out off the start and into the tuff blocks lining the track. He scrambled back into the race in last position but worked hard to slip past riders and at the close of the 20-lap race finished ninth behind Millsaps in seventh, and #ktm rider Justin Brayton in eighth.
“I felt good today,” stated Musquin. “The track was difficult but I felt strong. Unfortunately, I just had some bad mistakes on the starts that cost me. I am happy to have worked my way into the top ten and will continue to improve from there.”
The third member of the Red Bull #ktm Factory #racing Team, Dean Wilson, crashed during the afternoon practice sessions and had to sit out the race. He has a possible injury to the same knee that he hurt last season. He will go for medical checks early in the coming week.
Troy Lee Designs Red Bull KTM’s Mitchell Oldenburg rides inspiring Main #event in Anaheim
Mitchell Oldenburg led the way for the team once again in #anaheim and rode an inspiring come-from-behind Main #event to finish an impressive ninth-place following an opening lap get-off. Teammate Jessy Nelson continued to heal up from injuries sustained during a practice crash.
When Oldenburg came around for the green flag on the opening lap, he was credited for 21 out of 22 riders. After getting up from a tough crash in the whoops, Oldenburg was on a mission to pick off as many riders as he could, ultimately breaking into the top 10. His inspired ride was one of the best of the season, tying his finish at the opening round.
“The day started great qualifying fifth,” said Oldenburg. “I felt really good and thought I could be a contender for the podium. I got off rhythm in the whoops after riders started piling up and ended up going down. It was such a bummer because I had a good start, but I think I was able to show the improvements we’ve made and hopefully I can show off that speed next week.”
