Eli Tomac edged closer to championship points leader Ryan Dungey in the AMA Supercross at Toronto in Canada on Saturday night. The Kawasaki man took an easy victory as Dungey worked his way up to second, with Suzuki’s Broc Tickle taking a best-ever third place. And in the East Coast 250 series, former British champion Zach Osborne made it back-to-back wins. The official Feld report reads:
Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, made its annual visit north of the border on Saturday night for its lone international stop from Canada’s largest city. A crowd of 49,020 fans filled the Rogers Centre to watch Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Eli Tomac win his fourth 450SX Class race of the season in dominant fashion. In the Eastern Regional 250SX Class, Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Zach Osborne claimed his second straight win, adding to his championship points lead.
As the 450SX Class field stormed down the start straight to start the Main Event it was RMATV/MC-WPS-KTM’s Blake Baggett who emerged with the holeshot, edging out Tomac and RCH/Yoshimura/Suzuki Factory Racing’s Broc Tickle. Tomac wasted little time in making a move to the front and was able to get by Baggett at the end of the first rhythm lane. Behind him, Team Red Bull KTM Factory Racing rider and championship leader Ryan Dungey was mired outside the top 10, eventually working his way up to ninth by the completion of the opening lap.
