Sitting behind Forkner and
Oldenburg at the front of the
pack was Joey Savatgy and
Adam Cianciarulo. Following
Webb’s crash sending him
back to the center of the
pack, Alex Martin came firing
up from behind to overtake
both Cianciarulo and Savatgy
or third place behind
Oldenburg. Shortly after A.
Martin's arrival Cianciarulo
went down on his own
accord and drop back a little
bit in time but not in
position.

At the 23-minute mark,
Webb beasted through the
pack and moved from 19th
to seventh in just 3 laps to
prove that no leader was
safe on the muddy track at
that point in the moto.
A. Martin and Savatgy rode
in the second and third
position for about three laps
before Savatgy found an
opening to overtake A.
Martin after making a small
mistake. The two opened up
and charged into a downhill
sprint, but it was Savatgy
that would ride into the next
turn with the lead and ride
out with a hold on second.
With less than 10 minutes
before the 2-lap marker
came out, Arnaud Tonus
came near the front of the
pack to overtake Cianciarulo
for 5th place. A few short
minutes later it would be
Webb up from the depths to
be next in line to overtake
Cianciarulo and find sixth
place. Webb would keep his
momentum moving forward
and take Tonus before the 5
minute mark for fifth place in
the pack.
