Round 1 - AMA Lucas Oil Pro Motocross - Hangtown Results

This is one of the most anticipated national motocross races in a long time.  There are so many top riders that are injury free and looking to set pace through the rest of the outdoor season.


Chad Reed, Ryan Villopoto is back, Dungey is looking to repeat his dominant performance.  Stewart sat out the last couple of supercross races to prepare.  Kenny Roczen, Marvin Musquin, Eli Tomac, Wil Hahn and Blake Baggett.  It looks like Justin Barcia and Eli Tomac both had the fastest lap times, and will get the first gate pick.


Riders will go 30 minutes plus 2 laps.  Lap taps are just about 2 minutes, so each moto could go 35 minutes.  That’s a long time to go 100%


450 Moto 1:  It’s number 7 James Stewart with the holeshot.  It doesn’t take long for Ryan Villopoto to make the pass on Stewart and after 1 lap Villopoto leads followed by Stewart, Dungey, Josh Grant, Trey Canard, Mike Alessi, Andrew Short, Dean Wilson and Justin Barcia.


Lap 5 Ryan Dungey makes the pass on Stewart and moves into 2nd.  Villopoto is blazing his path and is 7 seconds in front of Dungey.


Halfway through RV has a 12 seconds in front of Dungey while Dungey is 17 seconds ahead of Stewart.  Stewart is followed by Trey Canard, Justin Barcia and a strong ride by Malcolm Stewart.


Malcolm Stewart pulls off on the final lap with what looks like a bike problem.  Ryan Villopoto wins moto 1 of the 2013 outdoor supercross championship series.


 


250 Moto 1:  2012 Series champion Blake Baggett grabs the holeshot.  Marvin Musquin is running 2nd and after lap 2 Musquin makes the move on Baggett and into the lead.


Musquin continues to lead followed by Baggett, Eli Tomac and Ken Roczen.  Tomac and Roczen are rolling and make the pass on Baggett.


Lap 5 shows Roczen passing Tomac and then Musquin.  Next lap Tomac passes Musquin and into 2nd.


Lap 8 Baggett has found a 2nd wind and pulls up to Musquin making the pass.  At the halfway point Roczen leads Tomac by a comfortable 7 seconds.


2 laps left and Baggett closes in on Tomac and for the next 2 laps these guys go back and forth.  But as the checkered flag flies Tomac holds off Bagget and Ken Roczen wins 250 moto 1 and sets the tone for the 250 series.


 


450 Moto 2:  James Stewart getting the holeshot again followed by Ryan Dungey and Ryan Villopoto.  They are followed by Trey Canard and Michael Burn, welcome back!


As the moto progresses Dungey is all over Stewart.  They are putting on a show going back and forth with each other.  They are followed closely by RV, Canard, Alessi, Ryan Sipes, Barcia and Short.


Dungey tries to make a pass on Stewart and makes a mistake allowing Villopoto to get by and the RV makes quick work of Stewart.  A few turns later Dungey makes the pass on Stewart.


Halfway through the race and Villopoto leads Dungey followed by Stewart, Canard, Alessi, Barcia, Sipes, Peick, Short and Rattray.  Chad Reed has pulled off the track and will not finish.


After 17 laps Ryan Villopoto wins moto 2 and the first round of the 2013 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocorss.  Dungey and Stewart finish in the respective positions.  Basically Villopoto dominated and set a pretty high bar for the rest of the fields.


 


250 Moto 2:  Zach Bell grabs the holeshot.  But it takes less than a lap for Ken Roczen to move into the lead, and Blake Baggett to move into 2nd.  He is followed by Osborne, Musquin and Wharton.


After 3 laps Roczen still leads Baggett and Osborne is still in 3rd.  Musquin and Osborne get tangled up but both riders stay up.


After 5 laps Roczen has a 5 second lead over Baggett with Tomac in 3rd.  Jason Anderson is riding well in 4th place with Wharton and Justin Boggle running in 5th and 6th.


Roczen continues to pull away opening up a 7 second lead.   The top 4 riders remain the same with Kyle Cunningham moving into the top 5.


As the checkered flag waves Ken Roczen wins moto 2 and round 1 of the 2013 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross series.  Roczen continued where he left off in Supercross and has set the bar for the rest of the series.
