Ferrandis Continues Forward Momentum at Red Bud

Racing at Red Bud is a fourth of July tradition that continues this year. Massive crowds come out to watch the best of the best race for at the famed track in Buchanan, Michigan.

In first 450 moto, Aaron Plessinger started with the lead, but Roczen made a move to get out front. Dylan Ferrandis charged past Roczen for the lead and held it all the way to the finish.  Plessinger was back in the lead for the second moto. Eli Tomac took that away from Plessinger. Near the end of the moto, Ken Roczen went down in a crash sending him flying off the bike. Tomac won the moto and Ferrandis took the overall win. Ferrandis leads the points standings and keeps the red plate.

In 250 moto one, Justin Cooper had the holeshot. His lead was extremely short lived as he tumbled off the bike in a crash. Jett Lawrence went on to win the moto with RJ Hampshire finishing second. Hampshire crashed at twice and was able to recover both times and battle for second. In the second moto, Cooper made a repeat move with the holeshot. Things didn’t so smoothly for Jett Lawrence. He went down and had most of the field pass him before rejoining the race. RJ Hampshire made a major charge pressuring Cooper to take over the lead. Unfortunately, another crash would allow Cooper to regain his lead position and the moto win. The win was not enough for an overall because he had crashed in the first moto. RJ Hampshire’s second place finishes gave him the overall win for the round. Jett Lawrence leads Justin Cooper in the overall season points.
