Overall wins for Facciotti, Maier, and Cooke at Riverglade MX Park

Round 7 of the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals in Moncton, NB proved to be

another showdown of the titans in both MX1 and MX2. After the heavy rains and

resulting mudbowl at the previous round in Ste-Thcle, hot weather and sunny skies

greeted the riders at Riverglade MX Park.

With a dry track beneath them, it was full throttle for Colton Facciotti who won the MX1overall on the strength of 1-1 motos; Teddy Maier who snared the MX2 overall with 1-3

motos; and Heidi Cooke who claimed her fourth consecutive Womens Nationals overall

thanks to yet another clean sweep.

Although Royal Distributing KTMs Jeff Northrop grabbed the first MX1 moto holeshot,

he would not finish in the top-10. Conversely, Toyota Yamaha Blackfoot Red Bull Fox

Racings Dusty Klatt, who went down off the start, managed to slice-and-dice his wayfrom the back of the pack into an impressive second place by the time the checkered was

waved.

Klatts teammate and defending champ, Colton Facciotti, took control of the lead from

Monster Energy Cernics Kawasakis Bobby Kiniry before the halfway mark and went on

to take the win. Kiniry finished a solid third, again proving hes a force to be reckonedwith in MX1.

Third in the current points standings, Paul Carpenter, got off to a mid-pack start but hemanaged to knife his way into fourth by the end of the moto. With his cousin and

teammate Jack Carpenter sealing the top-five, Monster Energy Cernics Kawasaki did

excellent business hammering down third, fourth and fifth. For Toyota Yamaha Blackfoot

Red Bull Fox Racing, it was even sweeter recording first and second place with Facciottiand Klatt.

Moto two saw Klatt, Facciotti, Carpenter, Tyler Medaglia and Kiniry shoot into turn onein that order. It looked obvious from the start that the battle for the overall would go

down between Klatt and Facciotti. With Facciotti turning on the pressure a few laps into

the moto, he and Klatt laid down such a blistering pace the chase group, led by Carpenter,could not even begin to match their speed.

By the midway mark Klatt succumbed to his teammate, lost some ground, and then

closed the gap again in a bid to regain the lead. Facciotti, however, decided it was time to

step it up a little more and put a five-second cushion between himself and Klatt. Nothingmuch changed after that.

By the time they crossed the finish line Facciotti and Klatt, who lapped up to fifth place,had nearly a one minute lead on Carpenter. The New York native more or less ran his own

race in third for the entire moto, taking third overall on the day thanks to his fourth in

moto one.

Meanwhile, Kiniry, who was running a strong fourth until the halfway mark, went down

and disappeared from the mix allowing Rockstar Suzuki OTSFFs Medaglia to move

back into the position he started in. Jack Carpenter again sealed the top-five, which nettedhim fourth overall on the day.

In the first MX2 moto, Toyota Yamaha Blackfoot Red Bull Fox Racings Kyle Beaton

shot of out of the gate to snare the holeshot with Murphy Motorsports FXR FuriousSuzukis Jeremy Medaglia, Leading Edge Kawasakis Nick Evennou, RTR Performance

Orange Motorsports KTMs Kerim Fitz-Gerald, and Equipe Les Chutes MotovanKawasakis Kaven Benoit in tow.

Series points leader, Teddy Maier, who found himself in sixth place going into turn one,

piloted his Leading Edge Kawasaki into second by the halfway mark. Meanwhile, upfront, Medaglia had displaced Beaton from the lead. Medaglia soon had to contend with

Maier, however, who was just as intent to take the checkered flag in first. Once Maier had

Medaglia in his sight, it didnt take long for the American to make his move and grab thelead.

Medaglia, despite riding for all he was worth, had to settle for second place at the finishline. Evennou managed to hang on to third place while Benoit kept fifth. Royal

Distributing KTMs Eric Nye, who started outside the top 10, managed to claw his way

into a fourth place finish.

Toyota Yamaha Blackfoot Red Bull Fox Racings Aron Harvey pegged the second moto

holeshot followed through turn one by Nye, Benoit, Evennou, and Beaton. Maier again

found himself outside a top-five start, this time around 10th place. Defending champ Nyestarted hounding Harvey within a few laps and the two Americans went at it playing cat-

and-mouse until Nye finally took possession of the lead around the halfway mark.

Once in front Nye stayed there to the checkered. Harvey settled into second and would

finish there; he recorded third overall thanks to a seventh place in moto one. Maier,

meanwhile, wasted little time picking off rider after rider to install himself into thirdplace by the end of the moto, which was good enough to give him the overall. Beaton,

who finished sixth in moto one, claimed fourth this time out while Royal Distributing

KTMs Kyle McGlynn cemented the top-five.

In the first moto of the Royal Distributing Womens Nationals presented by Suzuki, Heidi

Cooke took control from the get-go. The Monster Energy Cernics Kawasaki ace put on

one of her patented clinics as she did at the first three rounds of the five-round series gapping the rest of the field by two minutes. The main battle revolved around second and

third place, which went to Denaye Giroux (Yamaha) and Kate McKerrol (KTM)

respectively.

In moto two, Cook again towered head-and-shoulders above the rest of the field to book

yet another win, which has given her a perfect score since the series kicked off inKamloops. Giroux carded another second place finish, which gave her second overall on

the day. Rockstar Suzuki OTSFFs Jocelyn Killough, who DNFd the first moto, nailed

down third. McKerroll finished fourth, which coupled with her third place in moto one

saw her cement the overall podium in third.
