JDR/J-Star/KTM Race Report – Red Bud Motocross

JDR/J-Star/KTM
rider Tye Simmonds was able to earn series points at his first race
back since recovering from pneumonia.

Simmonds
sat out the Budds Creek race after being diagnosed with pneumonia the
week prior. Now after two weeks of resting, Simmonds arrived at Red
Bud ready to race.

In the
first moto, Simmonds had a bad jump off the gate and came around the
first corner outside the top twenty. Going into the second corner,
another rider clipped a hay bale and swerved into Simmonds line
causing him to tip over. Simmonds crash put him in last place by the
time he was up and recovered.

Simmonds
spent the remainder of the laps coming up through the pack and was
able to move into a solid 17^th
place by the end of the moto.

In the
second moto, Simmonds had a better start rounding the first corner
right around 20^th
place. Simmonds passed a few riders on the first lap and moved into
16^th
place. Throughout the remainder of the moto he was able to maintain
his position and even move up one more spot to earn 15^th
that moto. His 17-15 moto scores earned him 16^th
overall for the day.
