Talk about a win-win situation: Honda Red Bull rider Ivan Tedesco rode away with a pair of dominating moto wins in Colorado. Needless to say, Tedesco was pumped.

Pushing Tedesco early in each race was Honda Red Bull teammate Andrew Short, who finshed second overall with a 2-2 score.

Honda Red Bull rider Ashley Fiolek swept both motos in the women’s class. Fiolek has scored five overall wins in five races—it doesn’t get much better than that!

GEICO Powersports Honda’s Justin Barcia was ninth in the opening Lites moto but led much of moto two. He eventually finished the moto in second, giving him fourth overall.

Tedesco was quick off the line in both 450 motos, scoring the holeshot in both motos. “It made my job a lot easier,” said the New Mexico native.

Tedesco was able to break away quickly in both races, winning by a comfortable margin in each case.

Short spent a good part of moto two holding off Tommy Hahn. In fact, Hahn passed Short at one point, but Short retaliated and pulled away to a safe second place by the finish.

Troy Lee Designs Honda rider Jake Moss just missed out on the podium in the first race, finishing fourth and ending the weekend in tenth place overall.

Troy Lee Designs Honda rider Chris Blose grabbed a top-ten finish in the first moto on his CRF450R.

Short didn’t have a great start in the first moto, but worked his way up to second by the ten-minute mark of the race.

This is actually my first win outdoors since 2005," Tedesco said. "It's been a long time coming and I've had to battle through some injuries over the years, but I feel like I'm in top form and it feels great.

Moss had his best performance of the year running in third place for much of the first moto and at times pressuring Short for second before settling for a fourth-place finish.

In the first moto, I came out and really tried to push myself hard and get a good start," Fiolek said. "I want to be up front, so I just tried to ride my best but ride smart as well.

GEICO Powersports Honda rider Bret Metcalfe went 7-5 in his two Lites motos, good for seventh overall.

GEICO Powersports Honda’s Blake Wharton ran a good race in the first Lites moto, finishing just off the podium in fourth place.

Barcia started off in the back of the pack in the first Lites moto, but pushed his way through on his CRF250R to secure a top-ten finish.

laps into the second Lites moto, Barcia powered his way into the lead, and started to open up a gap on the field. He would eventually finish second.

Metcalfe was in a fierce battle for the final podium spot in the second lites moto but ended up finishing in fifth place.
