In the 450 class we saw consistency. That of Ken Roczen going 1-1 yet another week on his RCH | Jimmy John's Suzuki. His wins weren't as impressive as they've been all season. I mean his first moto win was only by 7 seconds and the second moto wasn't quite a 20 second win. More consistency was that of the entire top 5. Justin Barcia would go 2-2, Eli Tomac 3-3, Marvin Musquin 4-4 and Jason Anderson would go 5-5 in his first race back from injury. KTM Canada's Kaven Benoit came south of the border to put in impressive 12-10 motos that left him 11th overall.
Privateers in the points. I know Dylan Wright isn't really a true privateer. He's a big deal in Canada, but decided he'd come over to the U.S. on his terms and went 21-16 for 19th overall, not bad. Nick Gaines finished 20th overall on his Traders Kawasaki by going 35-17. Henry Miller went 40-19 for 22nd, Brandon Scharer would go 19-21 and the 677 of Cody Williams put in 20-24 motos. As for the 450 class guys, privateers put in some very solid rides. Cade Clason was 15th overall by going 14-18, John Short went 20-15, Noah McConahy was 16th in moto 2. Hayden Mellross and Heath Harrison each had one moto they'd rather forget but would swap 17th place finishes in their other motos. Matthew Babbitt was 18th in moto 1. Jerry Lorenz cracked the top 20 in moto 2 with a 19th and finally got a couple points that he should have had rounds ago. Lastly the 88 of Ronnie Stewart would go 22-20, earning himself a point.
