>> Haiden Deegan grabbed the early advantage as he led Owen Covell and Logan Best around the opening lap as
part of a KTM parade. The trio began to spread out as they crossed the stripe for the second time with Deegan expand- ing his advantage in the lead. Logan Best was able to work his way around Covell and into 2nd position, but Deegan had already crafted an astronomical gap at the front of the field. The crowd hoped that the two leading KTM riders could recreate their exceptional battle from earlier in the day, but Deegan had other ideas as he inched away into lap traffic. Dangerboy had a 4.5 second gap at the stripe as he greeted the white flag for the last time of the week. He had enough of a lead to just walk the bike to the finish line, but he still continued to push the pace which was evident by his unpar- allelled style on the bike. Dangerboy wrapped up another championship with his second moto win of the day; Logan Best took 2nd overall and Owen Covell filled out the rostrum with 3rd.
