COMMENTI VINCITORE 250SX
JUSTIN HILL
Sentivo che ce la potevo fare e alla fine ce l’ho fatta. È da un paio di settimane che guido come voglio. Sono riuscito a finire sul podio lo scorso weekend e ho vinto questa sera. Sto guidando bene e tutte le cose sono andate per il verso giusto. Sono riuscito a partire bene e a portarmi subito davanti prendendo un bel vantaggio e amministrando la gara verso la fine. C’è voluto del tempo per vincere e posso dire che è una bella sensazione. Sono contento che questa sera c’era tutta la mia famiglia a vedermi correre perché devo molto a loro. Mi hanno supportato nei momenti felici e in quelli tristi quindi questa vittoria è veramente positiva per tutti noi. Adesso ci sono solo 2 punti di svantaggio in campionato quindi è arrivato il momento di darci dentro!
COMMENTI PODIO 450SX
KEN ROCZEN
É stupendo, cos’altro posso dire… Le condizioni della pista erano veramente difficili e sono riuscito a fare delle partenze decenti. Sono stato fortunato nella seconda curva perché Boogle è caduto coinvolgendo dei piloti. Ho fatto dei bei sorpassi all’ inizio e poi mi sono trovato con la pista libera dagli avversari. Pensavo che Eli (Tomac) dopo averlo passato si sarebbe rifatto sotto ma sono stato in grado di distanziarlo abbastanza concentrandomi sulla mia gara. Ho visto Marvin (Musquin) che stava arrivando ma sono riuscito a gestire il mio vantaggio. Cercavo di rimanere tranquillo sulle whoops anche se normalmente quando le affronti così, le cose possono andare male, ma la mia moto si è comportata veramente bene. Sono contento per com’è andata. L’ultima volta che ho corso qui era nel 2014 e il terreno era molto simile, parecchio duro sotto e scivoloso in superficie ma questa sera mi sentivo molto a mio agio sia nelle Heat che nel Main Event. Sono parecchio contento per questa vittoria!

MARVIN MUSQUIN
È bello essere sul podio per la seconda volta consecutiva. Onestamente oggi pensavo che andasse diversamente perché la pista era veramente insidiosa. Era parecchio scivolosa con delle sezioni molto tecniche ed era fondamentale affrontarle nel modo giusto. Speravo di riuscire a fare una buona partenza ma le cose non sono andate così e mi sono trovato in mezzo al gruppo. Sfortunatamente c’è stato un brutto incidente che però mi ha permesso di passare parecchi piloti. Mi sono ritrovato in quinta posizione poi sono riuscito a passare Seely e Tomac. È stato bello esser riuscito a fare quei sorpassi e guidare dietro a Dungey che sfortunatamente è caduto regalandomi le seconda posizione anche se verso la fine è riuscito a recuperare parecchio su di me. Sono contento per questo secondo posto.

RYAN DUNGEY
Per com’è andata la gara, esser riuscito a finire sul podio è una gran bella cosa. È un onore per me essere nella lista di questi record perché era il mio desiderio fin da quando ero piccolo. La pista era difficile e ho spinto molto per cercare di raggiungere Kenny (Roczen) e ho fatto un piccolo errore quindi un terzo posto non è poi così male per questa sera. Quando Roczen era al comando, ho cercato di passare Tomac il più velocemente possibile perché Kenny stava guadagnando terreno su di noi. Una volta passato ho continuato e spingere e sono caduto. Non ci sono scuse e Marvin ha capitalizzato sul mio errore.

Roczen Races to Third Win of the Season
Hill Charges to First Eastern Regional 250SX Class Win of the Season
In front of 50,605 fans at Rogers Centre for the return of Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, to Canada, RCH Soaring Eagle/Jimmy John’s/Suzuki Factory Racing’s Ken Roczen captured his third 450SX Class victory of the season. Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/KTM’s Justin Hill was impressive en route to his first win of the year in the Eastern Regional 250SX Class, on a night when the championship leader did not compete.
Red Bull KTM’s Ryan Dungey scored his fourth SupercrossLive.com Holeshot Award of the season to start the 20-lap 450SX Class Main Event before giving way to GEICO Honda’s Justin Bogle, who then lost control through a rhythym lane and crashed out of the lead, collecting Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Jason Anderson and others. Dungey reassumed control of the lead following the incident.
Later on the opening lap Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Eli Tomac made an aggressive pass on Dungey to take over the lead, which also allowed Roczen to follow into second in hot pursuit of the lead. The German rider applied heavy pressure on Tomac and soon took the lead on Lap 1.
Dungey, the championship leader, looked to strike back at Tomac and dove past on Lap 4 to briefly take over second, only to be passed back in the very next corner. After multiple attempts Dungey was able to make the pass stick on Lap 8, while his Red Bull KTM teammate Marvin Musquin overtook Tomac for third on Lap 9.
While running second on the 14th lap, Dungey made a mistake that caused him to go down, benefiting Musquin who was able sneak by for second as Dungey remounted in third. The defending 450SX Class Champion continued to push hard in an effort to catch his teammate, but was unable to make up the ground he lost.
A blistering pace set by Roczen out front carried him to his third 450SX win of the season unchallenged, ahead of the Frenchman Musquin in second and Dungey in third.
“It was an awesome race, the conditions were tough and my bike worked flawlessly,” said Roczen, who now has three wins over the last six races. “This is my first win in Toronto, so lets see if we can keep the ball rolling heading into Detroit next weekend.”
Musquin’s runner-up finish was his third straight podium result. While Dungey’s third-place effort ended his record streak of top-two finishes at 20 races, he set a new all-time record for consecutive podium finishes at 26, surpassing the previous record set by Monster Energy/360fly/Chaparral/Yamaha Factory Racing’s Chad Reed during the 2003 and 2004 seasons.
“I had some time to make up on Kenny [Roczen], but washed the front end while trying to make a push,” said Dungey. “From there I did the best that I could and was able to come away with a podium.”
Dungey remains in control of the 450SX Class championship standings, currently leading by 34 points over Roczen. Anderson, who recovered from his crash on the first lap to finish ninth, sits 58 points behind in third place.
In the Eastern Regional 250SX Class Main Event, Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/KTM’s Alex Frye earned his first career SupercrossLive.com Holeshot Award, but was quickly overtaken by MAD Racing/Dirt Candy Graphics/Suzuki rider Matt Bisceglia. A first turn pileup collected several championship contenders, including GEICO Honda’s Malcolm Stewart and Yamalube/Star Racing Yamaha teammates Jeremy Martin and Aaron Plessinger.
On the opening lap, Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/KTM’s Shane McElrath moved past Bisceglia to take the lead, with Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki’s Tyler Bowers moving into second and Hill into third. The battle intensified on Lap 2 as Hill moved his way past Bowers into second, and closed in on the race lead.
McElrath’s advantage continued to shrink as his teammate inched closer, and eventually Hill found his way around to take over the lead on Lap 3. While Hill started to open a gap, what appeared to be a flat rear tire forced McElrath to the mechanics area for repairs on Lap 6. That moved Bowers into second and Bisceglia third. Bowers then encountered some misfortune of his own, crashing out of second and dropping down the running order, which allowed Bisceglia to take over second and Cycle Trader/Rock River Yamaha’s Benny Bloss to move into third.
After overcoming a 19th-place start following the crash in the first turn, Martin battled his into third on Lap 8 and proceeded to move up another spot on the following lap by passing Bisceglia for second on Lap 9.
Hill went on to claim his third career 250SX Class victory, with Martin’s come-from-behind effort landing him in second. Bisceglia rounded out the podium in third.
“This [win] is a big deal for me. It’s been a while since I last won,” said Hill. “It was a very difficult track and I was lucky to get through the start clean and bring it home.”
Martin’s runner-up effort allowed him to take over control of the Eastern Regional points lead, one week after claiming his first win of the season. Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Martin Davalos entered Toronto as the championship leader, but did not compete due to personal reasons.
“The laps and hard work during the week paid off tonight,” said Martin. “We were able to move forward after the crash, which helped us leave with the red plate. It’s a bummer Davalos was unable to race tonight.”
Martin now holds a two-point lead over HIll in the Eastern Regional standings, while Stewart, who finished sixth, sits third, 10 points back. Davalos dropped from first to fourth, 20 points out of the lead.
