A look back at the Glen Helen MX

May 31, 2016

Ryan Dungey capitalized on Ken Roczen’s mechanical problem in the first moto of the FMF Glen Helen Motocross to claim his first win of the season, going 1-2 in the two motos. Meanwhile, Alex Martin claimed his first-ever AMA Pro Motocross overall win as the Yamalube/Star Racing Yamaha team landed on all three steps of the podium. Here’s a look at the race through the lens of Jeff Kardas’ Canon.

Ryan Dungey is leaving California sitting just two points behind Ken Roczen in the series standings, and there is no sense that the Red Bull KTM team is in panic mode at this time. Look for Dungey to pick up the pace now that the series is moving eastward.Photos By Jeff Kardas
