450 Moto Two
Things were much tighter in the second contest. Jett Lawrence again scored the holeshot as Dylan Ferrandis and Chase Sexton gave chase.
Sexton made short work of the Frenchman and the Honda men then streaked away from the field.
The gap between Jett and Chase was fairly consistent between one and two-seconds for the entire 36-minutes of the race, Jett the victor by one-second despite a last lap attack from Sexton.
The Honda pair took the flag 45-seconds clear of Dylan Ferrandis who scored third place to take third for the round ahead of Aaron Plessinger and Cooper Webb.
