Monday April 22, 2013. St-Bruno, QC – In only his first week back on KTM, riding a brand new 2013 250 SX, Liam O’Farrell would prove two-strokes are alive and well, claiming wins in the Pro Am and Under 30 classes. The friendly South African says he felt a bit rusty early on, but it was quite impressive watching O’Farrell dicing it up on his 250 two-stroke against top 450 racers.

Red Bull KTM Factory rider Ken Roczen made an impressive return to the Supercross track on Saturday night securing his third win of the season at the seventh round of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross 250SX West Championship held at Centurylink Field.

Factory teammate Ryan Dungey managed to scramble back from the back of the field after a early crash in the 450 class main event to finally advance to fourth place at the flag.

But it was Roczen’s night, despite a tricky heat race. KTM’s German teenager was second at the start of his heat and quickly passed Jason Anderson to move into the lead before the race was red flagged and restarted. When the gate dropped again, Roczen launched out to another second place but crashed in the mud of the rain soaked circuit and dropped to eighth. His trouble continued in the following lap when he crashed again and dropped back to twelfth. Roczen scrambled back into the race and finished seventh to qualify for the main event.

When the gate dropped for the main, Roczen put his KTM up front rounding the first corner in fourth position. Two laps later he was in second place and began to close in on the lead ride of Eli Tomac. The two riders quickly gapped the field and then at the halfway point Tomac crashed and Roczen was in front. He then went on to settle the race with a comfortable nine-second margin.

It feels great to get the win here tonight,” remarked Roczen. “We had a long break and it is good to return to racing and ride up front. The track was very challenging and it was all about riding a smart race. I am happy I didn’t suffer any crashes in the main event and could gain more points in the championship standings.”

With two rounds remaining, Roczen now holds a 20 point lead in the championship standings.

Roczen’s teammate Ryan Dungey put in a tremendous ride at the fifteenth round of his main 450 class event to rebound after a first corner crash to finish fourth.

Dungey launched his evening with a strong ride in his heat where he was fourth at the start, quickly moved into second and carried the position through to the flag for easy qualification to the main event. But riders were faced with a quickly deteriorating track as they lined up for the main event. Rainfall from earlier in the day had left the track very muddy and it was now deeply rutted and slick in the straights.

Dungey managed to get a decent jump off the start in his main event but collided with multiple riders in the first corner. He quickly recovered and had moved into fourteenth place by the end of the lap. He then set about picking off riders in a remarkable charge through the pack and 10 laps into the race he was up to fifth. He then inherited fourth place when Trey Canard crashed but despite impressive lap times was unable to move up the order, going on to finish fourth.

“I am really bummed that I suffered a crash in the first corner,” remarked Dungey. “I am happy with my ride back through the pack but I lost some valuable points in the championship tonight. I am really looking forward to the final two rounds where I feel like I can battle for the win and hopefully get on the top step of the podium for my team before the end of the series.

With two rounds remaining, Dungey, now in third and trailing second placed Davi Millsaps by one point, sits 26 points down in the championship point standings.
