Red Bull KTM’s Ryan Dungey claimed his first win of 2016 at the second round of the 2016 Monster Energy AMA Supercross season at Petco Park in San Diego; it was also Dungey’s first-ever win in the 450SX class in San Diego. The Minnesota native came around the first corner in third place and quickly made his way past MotoConcepts Racing’s Vince Friese and BTO Sports KTM’s Justin Brayton to take the lead.

2016 San Diego Supercross Ryan DungeyMonster Energy/360Fly/Chapparal/Yamaha Factory Racing’s Chad Reed kept Dungey honest from around two seconds back nearly the entire race, though Reed never challenged for the lead. Dungey led 19 remaining laps on his KTM 450 SX-F Factory Edition to take the win along with the points lead and reclaiming the red plate from Rockstar Energy Racing Husqvarna’s Jason Anderson heading into Anaheim 2 next weekend.

Dungey said, “Chad [Reed] was on my heels the whole time, so I couldn’t make a big mistake, although I made a few little ones. It feels good to get the win and move back into the points lead.”

Reed grabbed a fifth place start and quickly made his way into second place, where he remained the rest of the race. The Australian trailed Dungey from a comfortable distance, and opened a solid lead over various third-place holders. Reed’s performance marked his first podium of the season on his factory Yamaha YZ450F.
