Suzuki's
Dustin Wimmer walks away with the 1st Moto
Win, but a near wreck at the start of the
2nd Moto along with 2 flat tires dropped
him back to a 15th place finish in Moto
2 |
Adding to Bryd’s stellar day was the bad
luck of series points leader Dustin Wimmer. The
MSR/Suzuki/Yoshimura/Pro Taper rider earned the
Ti Lube Fast Qualifier Award, and the Suspension
Systems Holeshot Award, en route to winning the
opening moto. However, the Center Valley, Pa.
rider suffered a variety of misfortunes to post
a 15th place in moto two. Most in attendance were
expecting another win from the previously dominant
Wimmer, but he ran into trouble right out of the
gate.
“I came together with Josh Creamer, we
rubbed tires and I was lucky not to crash,"
said Wimmer. "I was completely up on my front
wheels, spinning backwards, and somehow I pulled
it out."

Kawasaki's
Josh Creamer made his return to the Podium
with a 3rd Overall finish on his Pro Circuit
powered KFX 450R |
From there it things continued to go poorly for
the series points leader: “I cut the right
front tire down when I made contact with Josh,"
added Wimmer, "then the left went flat on
the second lap.”
Wimmer’s team changed his tires. He continued
to race to salvage valuable points.
Team Honda edged closer to Team Suzuki in the
Manufacturers' Cup standings. Suzuki now holds
a 46-point lead going into the next race. Team
Can-Am sits third, 49 markers out of the lead.
