PrintWill anyone stop the Pro Circuit locomotive that continues to roll through the 250 class? Many have tried—Barcia, Sipes, Durham—but most have failed. The new challenge to the Pro Circuit squad came in the form of Star Racing’s Kyle Cunningham.
Cunningham grabbed the holeshot in moto one, but was quickly gobbled up by point’s leader Dean Wilson, with Tyla Rattray, Ryan Sipes and Blake Baggett in tow. Cunningham looked poised to break up the Pro Circuit podium party as he challenged Wilson early for the lead. Meanwhile Baggett was making his typically hard charge through the pack as he made his way around Sipes for fourth. Sipes would drop the anchor late in the race eventually crossing the finish line in 12th.
Wilson would distance himself from Cunningham but still had trouble in the form of teammate Tyla Rattray. Wilson and Rattray would play cat and mouse all moto long as Wilson would stretch his lead only to have Rattray reel him back in. Rattray would pressure Wilson all the way to the final turn, but Wilson was able to hold off the late charge and take the moto one win.
Baggett would take third to complete the Pro Circuit podium sweep, with Cunningham in fourth and a hard charging Gareth Swanepoel taking home fifth. The fourth member of the PC squad, Broc Tickle would take home sixth followed by Alex Martin who put on an unbelievable late moto charge at his home track. Darryn Durham, Wil Hahn and Martin Davalos would round out the top-ten.
More bad news for GEICO Honda’s Justin Barcia as he went down hard early in moto one and reportedly has a broken nose.

Oh, I can´t take it. Three of the first five are non Americans, Oh, the shame. LOL.
Er, plese tell me again about the dominant US boys. LOL.
I told you Baggers was a flash in the pan. Roczen will lap the kid next year.
WTF, Barcia with a broken nose, was he trying to break the fall with his face. Way to go ROCK, you over worked these guys last week." Gee golly whiz fellas, I got a win. Now I'am going to have some milk and cookies". Way to go Deano!
Rattray is a sandbagger. You showed you are not to be taken seriously when you said Baggett will get lapped.
technically two of the top 5 arent americans cause im pretty sure even though wilson is from the uk he mostly lived in canada and the states and has done almost all of his amatuer racing in the states so i wouldnt say hes one of the foreign guys
What is with Barcia and Tickle?? Must be a supercross curse.
@motodevildog, you are correct! Besides isn't Canada the 51st state? lol
anyone that watched the first too motos can tell... pro circuit runs cheater bikes. F THAT! wilson, baggett, and rattray were all pulling faster laps than dungey, and reed.... the math just doesnt add up there.
Question? how do you break your nose with a full face helmet? I have crashed hard enough to break my nosepiece of my helmet but my nose was still there. I think, cant rember the crash..... Ouch Oh well I have broke my nose a few times?
Not sure why everyone is saying Bagget for the championship. He has never finished an outdoor series as pro. Wilson hauls and is keeping it consistent and has the red plate, he's the one to beat regardless if he has not won a OA yet
@Welker, I guess Barcia must be sporting a big snausola like Jimmy Durante,
Ha Cha Cha Cha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Dude in conditions like today 450s can been too much to handle throttle wise. Besides Reed and Dungey will never be mistaken for RC who could ride a 450 wide open mud or not. For all you people thinking Reed is so fast just think of all those 45 sec to over a minute beatings the GOAT laid on him every moto. The kids are as fast as the 450s so they better retire when they come up.
Hey Metta, Baggett only started last year and was injured on an inferior bike. This year he is PC mounted and eating Dean's lunch every week. So this is the kids first time on these tracks and if you looked objectively you can see he is smoother and faster then the rest including Wilson. Larry Brooks said it best, he has not seen speed like that since Carmichael. Not sure if Baggett will win this year but after this year it is all over for them from now on.
Rattray won't even be in America next season, he was hired to sand bag and win the tiddler clase and he is only 3rd best. So Mitch will hire a new boy to replace him, one that can win.
When it comes to Barcia, I swear he was better last year in the outdoors than he is now. So maybe it is the supercross curse and an overly inflated ego that he can win at anything. If they only gave out awards for lawn darting in the lites class. Bam Bam would be the man. I think he has taken more dirt naps than anyone else. Am I being critical about this kid, shit ya! He has far more potential, just can't seem to get it together.
Wow, you mean trying to slip Rattray in the 12-15 class at Lorreta Lynns?
LOOKS LIKE KEN ROCZEN WOULD HAVE SUCKED A$$ TODAY SON
I'm sayin' "Bullshit" too, one team cannot be this much ahead of everyone else, or have "all" the best riders. When everyone is spending money, and testing. PC Kaw, cannot be this far ahead. Yamaha has Cunningham and Handa has Barcia and Tomac, even with "bad luck" by there's no way they can be this far ahead, honestly.
how is rattray a sandbagger that is the dumbest comment i ahve ever heard im not even a rattray fan but just cuz u called a pro a sandbagger i have to defend him im pretty sure a sandbagger is someone who sits in a lower class so he can win races and im pretty sure hes a pro which last i check is the highest class you can be and sandbaggers dominate he doesnt dominate by any means and he has no reason to go to 450s cause he hasnt even won a championship on 250s im pretty sure thats the point is to win championships and right now his best chance is on 250s
your prolly just a D rider who just learned that word and your just mad cause youve been getting whooped on by 13 yr olds on superminis but its ok it happened to all of us
yewww, im behind u 100% motodevildog! i think its pretty safe to say that no one on here has or ever will ride at the pro AMA level. RC is an exception, there is no way to describe how he rode but u have to give it up to reed coming back every wkend to give it another go no matter how bad he got owned. reed has heart an determination. i take my hat off to the RV, RD, CR and TC for giving it to JS this yr in the supercross and showing that he isnt invincible like ricky.
all the best riders go to pc because thats what reputation does and with bagget in for another year or two and up and comer adam c. i dont think pcs dominance is going to end anytime soon
Barcia is a Nor'easter... broken nose shouldn't keep him from racing... kid reminds me of Magoo for some reason.
