Recap
The self-touted “Holeshot King” Mike Alessi takes another holeshot with Dungey in tow. Justin Brayton was down in the first corner.
Within a matter of corners, Dungey takes the lead. As they round the second lap, it's Dungey, Alessi, Craig, Brown, Byrne Short, Hahn, Rattray, Tickle and Kiniry rounding out your top ten.
On Lap Four, Tommy Hahn gets around Christian Craig for the third position.
Three laps later, Dungey goes down and Alessi takes the lead back! Hahn goes down on the same lap as well and is out of the moto after running in third.
At the halfway point of the moto, the top ten running order is Alessi, Dungey, Rattray, Tickle, Brown, Short, Byrne, Millsaps, Kiniry and Chisolm.
Dungey gets back around Alessi by going 7 seconds faster in one lap. He still holds the lead with 7 minutes plus 2 laps to go, but he may need to make a pit stop for fuel, as he lost quite a bit when he fell.
On Lap Thirteen, Tyla Rattray makes his way around Alessi for the second position.
The next lap sees Dungey make a pit stop for fuel. They fuel him up, and he is able to pull out ahead of Alessi, but falls behind Rattray by one second. Rattray holds onto the lead and takes the moto win over Dungey and Alessi, his first in 450 class. Ryan Dingey's 2-1 score gives him his 7th straight overall win.

Recap
Jessy Nelson takes the holeshot, and he's got Ken Roczen, Blake Baggett and Eli Tomac in tow.
Tomac goes down before the end of lap two and remounts mid-pack. On the same lap, Roczen gets by Nelson and is on the gas. The running order as they cross the line is Roczen, Nelson, Baggett, Martin, Barcia, Bogle, Musquin, Anderson, Tomac and Hahn.
On lap four, Justin Barcia makes his way around Nelson for the third position. Justin Bogle then goes down after hitting Nelson's rear wheel while engaged in a dog fight for the fourth position.
Barcia goes down while in third and remounts in the seventh position, turning the third-place spot over to Alex Martin.
Tomac makes his way around Martin and into the third position on lap seven. At the halfway point of the moto, they run as follows: Roczen, Baggett, Tomac, Martin, Musquin, Barcia, Anderson, Stewart, Nelson and Baker.
With ten minutes plus 2 laps to go, Roczen and Baggett are trading off lap times. It’s a tug-of-war with 4 seconds separating them. About 4 minutes later, Baggett sets a 2:06 to Roczens 2:09 and cuts the lead to only 2 seconds.
Martin gets passed by Marvin Musquin for the fourth position on lap 12. Tomac, who was down almost 13 seconds, is only 3 back on Baggett with a minute left on the countdown clock. Tomac makes the pass on Baggett, but then clips a tree and goes down. He gets back up, but falls 17 seconds behind Baggett in the process.
With two laps to go, Baggett makes the pass on Roczen, but Roczen passes him right back. It's going to be a duel to the finish from this point on, with Baggett eventually making the pass stick with one lap to go. Baggett starts riding away from Roczen and takes the win, with Tomac finishing behind them in 3rd.
