250 main event: A wild main event saw Nate Thrasher out front with Hammaker and Davies at the back end of the top five. Davies got Hammaker in the whoops but Hammaker followed Davies through to the front and started to up the pace to catch his rival but then clipped a tuff block and went down!

Hammaker then caught back into third and was right behind Bennick for second with a lap to go when Bennick slid out and Hammaker hit him and both went down! Somehow Hammaker still got third with Bennick fifth. But, after reviewing, Hammaker got docked two positions dropping him from third to fifth.

Davies said: “That was sketchy tonight the cups were gnarly. That was a good race, didn’t get off to a good start but made it happen.”

450 main event: Hunter Lawrence took a huge step towards a Supercross title after running down and passing Ken Roczen for the win and, when Roczen fell shortly after, it gave Lawrence breathing space as Roczen got up and salvaged a podium in third and damage limitation behind Coopet Webb.

It was a much worse night for Eli Tomac who had a terrible start then crashed just as he got into the top ten to severely dent his title hopes, finishing 12th.

Justin Hill led early and was in the battle for a podium for a long time ultimately taking sixth in his best riders of the year…but then got handed fifth after Dylan Ferrandis, who also rode great, got demoted from fifth to sixth for cutting the track.

Hunter, who now has a ten point lead over Ken Roczen and fifteen over Eli Tomac, said: “It feels great. I’m so happy my wrist wasn’t holding me back tonight..”
