AMA MX: Dungey takes first victory of 2011

6-28-2011

by moto123.com

The AMA Motocross championship hosted its fifth round of the 2011 season at Thunder Valley MX Park as the Toyota Trucks Thunder Valley National was won by Ryan Dungey (Suzuki) in the 450 Class.

Ryan Villopoto (Kawasaki) started the day with a dominant victory in the opening 450 Class moto. Dungey followed in second while Chad Reed (Honda) finished third.

In Moto 2, Reed grabbed the holeshot, with both Dungey and Villopoto following closely behind. Both Dungey and Reed engaged in a battle for the lead through the first three laps, before Dungey made his move into the top spot.

Villopoto got by Reed just one lap later and proceeded to challenge Dungey for first, and what would eventually be the overall win. The two paced one another before Dungey eventually pulled away for the victory.

Reed completed the podium in third (3-3), but still maintains the championship lead in the 450 Class standings.

With five rounds of action completed, the 2011 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship reaches the halfway point this Saturday, July 2, with the Rockstar Energy RedBud National from Buchanan, Michigan.
