MDK KTM Factory rider Nick Wey got a mid-pack start in
the Supercross class Heat #1.
He was twelfth around the first turn and began picking off riders.
By the end of the first lap he had moved into 10th and was only
one position short of qualifying. He made the pass into 9th on lap
3 and held that position to transfer into the main.
The Supercross main event had a wild start. Wey got a good
jump but lost momentum when he had to maneuver around the
#8 bike of Grant Langston and the #29 bike of Andrew Short,
both of whom had crashed in the first turn. Halfway through the
1st lap Wey was in 15th desperately trying to gain ground on the
riders ahead. By the end of the second lap he had moved into
11th place. He rode strong and stayed close to the pack right on
the tail end of the group. Around the halfway point Langston and
Short had moved up behind him. Wey held off Langston for a
couple laps until Langston got a flat and had to slow down. Wey
and Short continued to battle up through the 12th lap. At this
point, Wey kicked it up a gear and pulled the Honda rider. Wey
wasn’t able to move into the top ten but was able to put a gap on
Short finishing twelfth for the night. ktmpress.com
