Ryan Dungey grabbed the holeshot in this one, only to bobble (possibly a false neutral) and hand the lead over to Ryan Villopoto. RV took the lead, dropped the hammer and completely checked out, leading every single lap of the race. Dungey rode by himself in second, finishing miles ahead of third-place finisher Mike Alessi, who after the race was docked a position for jumping the starting gate, giving third to Millsaps.
Kevin Windham and Alessi battled hard for the first half of the race, but Windham ended up fading, which allowed the hard charging battle of Jake Weimer, Chad Reed and Davi Millsaps to blitz by. Weimer was in the thick of this fight until he went down and lost several spots.
Millsaps continued to charge hard, swapping fourth place with Chad Reed several times before motoring away. Millsaps was closing slightly on Alessi, but ran out of time.
RV took the win, followed by Dungey, Millsaps, Alessi (who was docked a position) and Reed.

Braaaap good race and holeshot
Good ride for Poto! Great effort by Millsaps. Come on moto 2!
like to see the start with allessi jumping the gate. I need to learn that move.
GO VILLOMOTO!!!!
Ummmm....Ah ohhhh....said the rest of the field....
haha Alessi blasted straight over the gate sick move... good racing it looks like Millsaps is definately a contender for the number 1 plate this year too! I like Dietrich too hopefully he can get on the box a few times this year

@Trend Killer, who gives a crap?? This thread is about men who race, and who raced at High Point, not wannabe's and posers.
Glad to see RV is back and healthy, and love seeing Millsaps riding like he did in the 250 class. He seems healthy again. Hope it lasts.
I'm telling you if Millsaps keeping running up front and stays healthy he just might be in contention by the time they reach Pala.
Time to throw those KTM350SXF minibikes in the trash, or Tye Simmonds and Short could move to Europe where the slow guys are riding Japanese bikes.

Thaks allisports for not showing CR22 and Millsaps battle.We got to see Wenniers litlle crash though.Why is it that the AU. get to see the whole race [all4motos] live we have to go all over the place for 2 days to see all 4 motos.WTF this is our series yet its like a snipe hunt for us to watch.
Hey "Who cares", shut it because i care....thanks for the pic Trend Killer, that is pretty sick!! What are the surprises that are coming??
I don't think any rider who jumps the gate should be penalized. Unless they jump all the way over the gate ( j-lawless). When a rider hits the gate like alessi did they are penalizing them selves. And I think if you look at it the gate had just started to drop as alessi started moving
Hey SHUT Up.....whatever that name was about! I'm glad you care it must hurt to only look at a still shot of him and not see him out there grinding for two 30 min. plus 2 lap motos. But again he would be getting his a$$ kicked by the top five, sure hope he shows up just so we can all once again tell all his fans to take it up the tail pipe....and if your going to take over a team and try to become buddy buddy with a rider that is flat out smarter then you when it comes to this. Well then you deserve to not ride the outdoors and prove to everyone your the best, why because he will never beat the records of MC or RC, and Reed will be in this sport far longer then you can even dream of!.......I sure hope RacerX doesn't change this because it's too much fun!
I must agree with fred. I've been living off moto 2 this whole series, and with the 450s racing first, twice now I turn on the dvr (must record-hate the commercials) I hear who won the 450 class b-4 I get to watch it. sux!!
Big suprises? James must be starting his own invitational series,held at his compound,the only way he will ever win anouther championship!Also trend killer you are being judged by the company yiu keep.Do yourself a favor find a new band wagon to jump on, you'll be much better off.
