250 Main – After a red flag and restart, Cole Davies passed Haiden Deegan, RJ Hampshire and Seth Hammaker to take a resounding win in the 250 shootout showing that he might just be the best 250 supercross rider on the planet when it all clicks! Haiden Deegan made a surge at the end but Davies was u flustered and delivered a brilliant win. Hampshire held off Hammaker for third, while Vialle who crashed in the heat and came through the LCQ lost fifth with a lap to go to Shimoda, but he is still in title contention, just two points off joint leaders, Hammaker and Hampshire.
Davies, who is up to second in the championship, 17 behind Deegan, said: “I grew up watching all the guys I am racing right now. It is a big stage up here, I am just trying to focus on myself. Two in a row, man.”
Hear from Ben Townley on Cole’s ability who after Ben coached Davies in New Zealand:
450 heat one: Aaron Plessinger passes Cooper Webb early for the win as Dean Wilson put it in the main event holding off Dylan Ferrandis for sixth.
450 heat two: Chase Sexton took the win passing Justin Cooper when Cooper, literally, got stuck in a rut behind a stricken backmarker.
450 Main – Chase Sexton and Cooper Webb got caught up in first turn carnage as Justin Barcia rode straight off the track over the berm while leading! That left a wounded Roczen out front and he stayed there for over half the race until Sexton and then Webb made their passes on the Suzuki rider. Sexton this time had a bit of a gap and Webb, while keeping the gap under five seconds, could never get within range to really push for the pass.
Sexton, now 12 points back of Webb, said: “It’s time to make or break, I felt great all day. Today was awesome, a good step in the right direction.”
