In moto 2, Shimoda started second and quickly took over the lead on lap two. From there, he rode flawlessly, building a commanding margin of more than 18 seconds by the checkered flag. The dominant ride secured the day’s overall win with 2-1 results.

Looking Ahead

The series resumes on August 9 at Ironman Raceway in Crawfordsville, Indiana, as Shimoda looks to continue his strong run into the closing rounds of the AMA Pro Motocross Championship.
