450 Class Stats
• To the Rulebook: For the first time this season a tiebreaker determined the overall winner in the 450 Class with Eli Tomac edging out Ken Roczen for the win at Washougal via his second moto victory.
• Late Season Surge: Tomac has won two of the last three rounds of competition, but still faces a 55-point deficit to Roczen in the championship standings.
• A Rare Defeat: Roczen was passed for a moto win for just the third time this season. He’s shown an uncanny ability to either maintain or improve his starting position, gaining an average of nearly one position per moto.
• Big Day at JGR: Joe Gibbs Racing enjoyed its best collective outing at Washougal, putting all three of its riders – Weston Peick, Justin Barcia, and Phil Nicoletti – inside the overall top 10. This came one week after BTO Sports KTM accomplished the same feat.
• Shorty Finishing Strong: With just three rounds left in his successful career Andrew Short is picking up momentum, posting his best effort of the season at Washougal and vaulting into the top 10 in points for the first time this season.
• Rookie to Watch: Pro Motocross rookie Benny Bloss is making his presence felt in the 450 Class, breaking into the top 10 in points after recording his fourth straight top 10 overall finish.
• More Attrition: Following a crash while battling for second at Washougal Christophe Pourcel will be forced to miss the remainder of the season after suffering a fracture of the same C-6 vertebrae that sidelined defending champion Ryan Dungey.
