2020 ATLANTA SUPERCROSS, 450 QUALIFYING

Eli Tomac had all the stars aligned for him going into the 2020 Atlanta Supercross, which marks the middle of the 2020 season. He was hot off his Triple Crown win in Arlington, and several of his fiercest competitors were injured. Both Adam Cianciarulo and Cooper Webb crashed the previous week. Webb lined up, Cianciarulo didn’t. Tomac was fastest qualifier for the first time of the year, and followed that up with a start-to-finish heat win.

450 HEAT 1

Ken Roczen led all nine laps of the first heat, but Jason Anderson and Justin Brayton were right there, keeping an eye on things. Justin Barcia had to make a few quick passes to get into fourth, but had difficulty making any more ground. Aaron Plessinger, Malcolm Stewart, Ryan Breece and Tyler Bowers also qualified straight out of the heat.

450 HEAT 2

Eli Tomac asserted himself from the start of the second 450 heat. Martin Davalos looked great for a few laps, but started getting a little loose, allowing Justin Hill and Cooper Webb to get by. Cooper Webb was riding well, showing very little ill effects of his Arlington crash. Chad Reed took eighth, qualifying for his 257th main event.
