Recap
Marvin Musquin takes the holeshot. Blake Baggett with a rare great start is second, with Wharton, Barcia, Hahn and Bogle running behind.
After Lap One, it's Musquin, Barcia, Tomac and Baggett. Musquin opens up a 2-second lead over the combo of Baggett and Tomac, who are linked at the hip.
Following a mistake, Baggett slipped back to sixth on Lap Four, being passed by Roczen and Hahn. Baggett gets back around Hahn later that lap though.
Halfway through the moto, the running order is Musquin, Barcia, Tomac, Roczen, Bagett, Hahn, Sipes.
With 8 minutes to go on the countdown clock, both Musquin and Barcia set their fastest laps as they battle for the lead. Barcia and Musquin go side-by-side up Horsepower Hill, and Barcia manages to takes the lead. Soon after, Tomac goes to work on Musquin and he takes second place.
The 2 lap board comes out, and it's a pair of Hondas running 1st and 2nd, and a pair of KTMs 3rd and 4th. Baggett has a tip over, letting Wilbur by for 5th.
