450 OVERALL RESULTS

After a quick gate malfunction, Phil Nicoletti grabbed the holeshot and led most of the first lap, but by the end, Jett Lawrence would take the lead. Ken Roczen, known for being explosive early, made a quick pass on Nicoletti and started attacking Jett Lawrence. Ken Roczen put himself on the back wheel of Lawrence more than a few times but could not close the pass. Through the halfway point, Jett Lawrence was only about one second ahead of Roczen, but both riders were pulling away from Chase Sexton. Within the final laps of the moto, Ken snuck up on Lawrence and almost made a pass he would go on to attack in the final laps. Interestingly, Jett Lawrence then lets Ken Roczen go by with two laps to go. Lawrence then signaled to his mechanic of a possible bike issue, and Roczen ran away with the lead. Lawrence was able to salvage the second position, but it was Roczen who was able to take the Moto win.
