Musquin & Dungey finish 2nd & 3rd at Detroit Supercross; McElrath on the podium
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
Red Bull #ktm Factory #racing Team Manager, Roger DeCoster commented, “We were penalized two positions per the rulebook but the problem is that Ryan’s line was on the outside and his line of sight could not see the flagger who was on the inside holding the Red Cross flag at waist height. There were the yellow lights flashing, which means to use caution, and Ryan could see there was no bike or rider on the track and jumped as he didn’t see the flag. After Ryan passed, the flagger stepped further out onto the track.”
DeCoster added, “For the future we will push them to have the Red Cross flaggers wave more aggressively to be clearly seen. It’s a shame that Ryan was penalized for something that he gained nothing from in the race.”
In the day’s timed qualifying sessions, it was Marvin Musquin who secured the fastest qualifying time of the day on his KTM #450sxf FACTORY EDITION, while his teammate Ryan Dungey qualified fifth. In 450SX Heat 2, Dungey got off to a great start, where he lead the heat race from start to finish. Meanwhile, Musquin experienced a big crash that ultimately ended his race early.
Musquin quickly bounced back, leading all five laps of the 450SX Semi 1 to capture the victory and a transfer position to the Main #event.
Main Event
In the 450SX Main #event, the Red Bull #ktm factory teammates shot off the start together but it was Dungey who claimed the official holeshot. Musquin passed Dungey to take the lead on the opening lap but it wasn’t long before the reigning champion reclaimed the front position coming out of the whoop-section.
Dungey led a hard-charging Musquin for nearly the entire race, as Musquin applied pressure along the way. However, with only two laps to go Musquin slid out while running in the second place position, which allowed Jason Anderson to move past. Musquin quickly remounted to finish the race in third.
“I struggled a little bit in the whoops tonight but other than that I was happy with how I was riding until that one mistake near the end,” Musquin said. “It’s a bummer to finish in third but I know it’s good in the bigger picture to be on the podium every weekend.”
The podium celebration reflected Dungey’s victory, with Anderson in second and Musquin in a close third. However, the results were amended shortly after the podium celebration.
Troy Lee Designs Red Bull KTM’s McElrath rides to first podium of the season
Shane McElrath carried the Troy Lee Designs Red Bull #ktm team in the Motor City, claiming his first podium finish of 2016 with a great ride from start to finish inside Ford Field on his KTM 250 SX-F FACTORY EDITION.
The tricky start inside the home of the #detroit Lions caused a first turn crash that collected several riders. McElrath managed to stay clear of the carnage and start in the top five. He continued to push in the opening laps and settled into third after five laps, the position he would finish in.
“We’ve been making progress every week and it feels good to be back on the podium,” said McElrath. “I needed this before the break. Just #racing incidents have kept me from being up here (on the podium) and I’m ready to make this a regular thing.”
A top-10 start in the Main #event was exactly what Alex Frye was looking to help him repeat his top performance from last weekend. Unfortunately, after just a few laps, he was forced to retire early and was credited with 22nd.
After winning last weekend in Toronto, Justin Hill was hoping to carry that momentum into #detroit. It wasn’t meant to be as he was unable to compete following a crash during qualifying. He’ll head to the doctors this week and is hoping to be ready to ride when the series returns in two weeks.
The Eastern Regional riders get two weeks off as the series takes a holiday break and then returns with the Western Regional riders in Santa Clara, California at Levi’s Stadium for their eighth round.
