The showdown between Cairoli and Villopoto didn't happen Saturday. RV got the holeshot in his qualifying race and totally checked out. Cairoli maybe 5th or 6th on the start but had too much battling to do to even see RV on the track. RV was maybe half a lap ahead after 20 minutes.
RC checked out in his qualifying race, even though Grant Langston made a move on him early, but RC got back by.
Ferry battled with J-Rod and Byrne to take the third and final qualifier, making the day a full Team USA sweep.
New Zealand is out of the event. Townley hurt his shoulder Saturday morning, and Hurley got a concussion, so that's a bummer for a very strong team.
Silly Season bit - Jeff Alessi to AMA Arenacross riding for Tuf Honda (Pre-confirmed rumor).
