After a little bit of weather swept into the Lakewood, CO hillside, the track got a little bit muddier, the ruts got deeper and the conditions began to play more of a factor in the riders’ performances. Eli Tomac had his fair share of struggles throughout the race, coming from the back of the pack and even needing to stop for goggles at one point, all to eventually end up fifth for the moto. Rockstar Energy/Husqvarna’s Zach Osborne grabbed the holeshot, but his lead was short lived as Ken Roczen made his way around him. The HRC/Honda rider didn’t just settle for the lead, though, as he went on to stretch out a massive lead and win the moto by over 35 seconds over Osborne in second and almost another 10 seconds back to Cooper Webb in third, who made his way up into the top three for the second time this season. Full results of the first 450 class moto are below. (For extended coverage of the 2019 Thunder Valley National MX, click here)
