Dean Ferris Breaks Through For Maiden Supercross Win At Avalon

When the gates dropped on the nights main event, it was the CDR Yamaha riders of Reardon and Ferris who quickly settled into the front two positions and quickly set about opening a gap over the rest of the field.

While the Yamaha duo had a clear track in front of them championship leader Brayton had the entire field in front of him after crashing in the first turn while fellow American Wil Hahn was also left deep in the field.

Up front Ferris sat on the back wheel of his more Supercross fancied team-mate for the opening 7 laps before he pulled the trigger on what would be the decisive move of the night. Moving to the inside of Reardon at the end of a sand section, Ferris pulled of a near perfect block pass heading into the Dunlop triple leaving Reardon to leave the track and coast around the jump while Ferris opened up a handy gap.

Sitting in third position, Marmont was continuing on his fine form from the heat race and looked on track to score his first podium result on his return to racing. Just after the half way mark Hahn moved his way by Marmont into third place before Brayton who had worked his way in to 5th done like wise with just over one lap to go.

Back up front Ferris continued to put in flawless laps holding a consistent gap over Reardon as he raced to his maiden Supercross win.
