Ivan Tedesco takes his first career 450 win and mister consistent takes second. One of the stories of the day was Tommy Hahn and his first ever podium with 7-3 moto finishes. Hahn challenged and passed Short for second in the first moto. Only to run off the track moving back into third. Then on the last lap pulling back within a second, in one of the best races of the season. Point leader Chad Reed struggled all day. Only able to get a fourth overall with 3-7 finishes. Chads health may still be a big factor in the final standing for the year.  Chris Blose with another top ten moto finish. The offroad riders Dietrich and Kyle Summers excelled on the tough Colorado track with 7th and 9th overall finishes. Josh Grant looked a little tentative after the hard crash at Unadilla last week getting a 6th.

Makita Suzuki's Chad Reed takes his first carer win in the 450f class of an AMA Outdoor National.  His long and successful Supercross career had never really carried over to the outdoor nationals. In his rookie year in the 250f class he took a win after coming off a successful FIM World Championship season. Red Bull Hondas Andrew Short and Ivan Tedesco round out the podium.

 

 

Makita Suzuki's ryan Dungey proved to much for the rest of the 250 class contenders.
