The final moto of the afternoon saw Barcia charge to the Holeshot ahead of first moto winner Tomac and Roczen. Roczen followed in fourth, while Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Christian Craig completed the top-five. Savatgy finished an impressive third, marking his career-best moto result. Tomac proved to be unstoppable with a wire-to-wire performance that earned him his fourth moto win of the season with 6.3 seconds to spare over Sexton who finished runner-up. Sexton regrouped and made the pass stick by getting a strong drive through the sand rollers. He would try the same line he used on Roczen, but Savatgy refused to surrender as he launched back around on Larocco’s Leap. The push to the front for Sexton continued as he began inching onto the rear wheel of Savatgy for second. With just under 10-minutes remaining in the moto, Sexton used an inside line before the famous Larocco’s Leap to take Roczen’s line away and make the pass stick for third. The Honda teammates of Roczen and Sexton found their way around Barcia as they continued to fight over a spot on the podium. Tomac’s early race speed was too much for the competition to match as he steadily pulled away from Savatgy who held a comfortable gap over the rest of the field. Tomac quickly sprinted to a two second advantage on the opening lap over Savatgy as Barcia engaged in a battle with the Team Honda HRC duo of Ken Roczen and Chase Sexton over third. As the 450 Class field launched out of the gate it was Tomac who emerged with his first Holeshot of the season over Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Joey Savatgy and Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing’s Justin Barcia.
