What a race! Tom Vialle chased Haiden Deegan all race long until Deegan dropped it again under pressure allowing Vialle to take the lead but it wasn’t over!

Deegan caught Vialle and passed him with a lap to go in an aggressive move he rehearsed the lap before but Vialle left the door open twice in a row. Vialle said after he forgot about Deegan’s line the lap before in the heat of battle!

In moto two Chance Hymas rode the perfect race to lead from start to finish over Deegan as Vialle came through from a bad start to third and was catching Deegan when he went down and ultimately finished a frustrated fourth behind Jo Shimoda.
It was a case of what could have been for Tom Vialle in Colorado as Deegan took the overall win to extend his points lead to 23 over Vialle and Hymas with Kitchen a further point back.
