450 QUALIFYING RESULTS SESSION 2 GROUP A

Ken Roczen finished ninth in the session.

In the second session, Justin Hill was once again quick early, moving to the top of the board as the 450 riders started to settle in. Ken Roczen looked like he was trying to put together a few fast laps, but a couple of small mistakes kept him from improving his position. Chase Sexton then found another strong lap and jumped into second for the session, keeping the front of the field extremely tight.

The pace across the top ten was incredibly close, with every rider inside the 49-second range. As the track continued to break down, traction became harder to find and the riders had to be much more precise, especially through the whoops and slicker sections. Hunter Lawrence eventually moved into second and was only a fraction off Hill’s time, adding even more intensity to the session.

In the closing laps, Eli Tomac put together the lap everyone was chasing and moved to the top of the board. With the track getting more difficult and the times still dropping, Tomac ended qualifying as the fastest rider in the 450 class.

Justin Hill was looking really good and ended up second fastest.

Justin Cooper was the only rider jumping through the whoops and that put him in a good spot.

450 QUALIFYING RESULTS SESSION 1 GROUP A

Eli Tomac was back up to pace as he topped the list in the first qualifier.

In the 450 class, the session opened with Justin Hill jumping to the top of the board early, but the position did not last long. Ken Roczen quickly moved into the top spot before Hunter Lawrence answered with a fast lap of his own. Chase Sexton was also near the front in the opening laps, slipped back slightly as the times started coming in, then responded by moving himself back up into third.

The leaderboard continued to shuffle almost every lap as the top riders found their rhythm on a demanding Salt Lake City track. Eli Tomac eventually moved into the lead and knocked Lawrence off the top, while Malcolm Stewart put in a strong lap to climb into third and push Roczen back to fifth. Lawrence then fired back and reclaimed the top position, but Tomac answered again with another fast lap to move back to the front.

The pace at the top was extremely close, with the top four riders all dipping into the 49-second range while Roczen sat right on the edge with a 50.112. With the championship pressure on Roczen and Lawrence, every lap carried a little extra weight, but it was Tomac who ended the session fastest so far. The 450 class is already showing how tight the racing could be once the gate drops tonight.

Hunter Lawrence looks motivated and tough to beat.

Chase Sexton has picked up the pace, placing fourth in the first session.
