A full 3 seconds quicler than Jason Anderson and Ken Roczen! Ryan Villopoto was looking ominous in 450 qualifying with the fastest lap time of 2 minutes 15 seconds half a second ahead of justin Barcia. 250 Moto 1 - Will Hahn is the new holeshot king in the 250 class crossing the Superstore holeshot line ahead of Eli Tomac. With the early lead Eli Tomac is never headed, the battle is for the minor places behind him. Jeremy Martin is in third follwed by the KTM boys, Musquin and Roczen. Hahn starts to fade as Musquin and Roczen move to second and third. Then Roczen gets by Musquin, but can't make ground on Tomac. Tomac takes the win ahead of Roczen and Musquin. With that win Tomac makes up three points on Roczen, can he capitalize in moto 2? 250 Moto 2 - The GEICO Honda of Zach Osborne grabs the early lead, but is pipped at the line for the holeshot by Martin. Early leader is Osborne who gets passed by Roczen. Tomac then gets by Osborne, but immediately buries his front in a berm and falls with Osborne landing on him. Tomac loses a tonne of positions (back to Ninth) and has to make his way past Hahn, Anderson, Osborne, Bogle, Musquin and Martin... which he does. Tomac is able to cut Roczens lead in half (12 down to 6 seconds), but runs out of time. Roczen is even on points with Tomac, but takes the overall with the better second moto finish. 250 Results Round 7 Ama Motocross Red Bud National Michigan 2013:Round 7 Ama Motocross Red Bud National 2013

Villopoto takes an easy win from Stewart and Grant. 450 Moto 2 - James Stewart gets out front ahead of Grant and Villopoto. Villopoto gets past Grant and goes after Stewart.
