Hi Steemers!

What a weekends racing that was! The pressure seems to be getting the best of Justin Cooper who saw himself in the LCQ, which he dominated of course, but that left him with a bad choice of start gate. He dealt with the pack well though and managed to pluck a good result but it was an uphill battle for sure. Forkner once again flew out the gate and made short work of Martins Suzuki. Again, like Cooper the pressure seemed to get into Forkners head though as Ferandis closed the gap and produced another hairline dirty pass to take the lead away.

Meanwhile in the premier 450 class Ken Roczen once again flew out the gate and took control early on with Tomac hot on his rear wheel. The Monster Energy Kawasaki rider was on rails though and got the lead from Roczen. A mistake in the sand section though saw him go off track which allowed Ken back past. This was short lived though as Tomacs speed in the whoops was too much to deal with. Cooper Webb, the current 450 SX Champion made a huge charge in the last few laps closing a seven second gap behind Roczen and litterally bashed his way past Ken on the last corner to take second... I don't think Webb will be on Roczens Christmas list this year... haha Check it out guys in the highlights below.
