Red Bull KTM’s Ryan Dungey has taken home another win in the 2016 Monster Energy AMA Supercross series in Atlanta after a spectacular battle with teammate Marvin Musquin.

As the series headed east for the first time this year, reigning Eastern Regional 250SX Champion and 450SX rookie Musquin was the early leader in the main event.

Dungey was able to close in on his teammate in several places, but the French rookie would pull back away. This continued until the final lap when Musquin approached Team Yoshimura Suzuki’s James Stewart to put him a lap down.

After one of the whoop sections Stewart forced Musquin to change his line into a corner, allowing Dungey to gain the momentum to get alongside both riders.

Musquin then bobbled and lost control of his motorcycle, allowing Dungey to make the pass. Musquin then went off the track but stayed upright, losing no additional positions

Dungey prevailed to make his way by in the final laps of 20, winning by 4.110s over Musquin, with Australia’s Chad Reed riding his factory Monster Energy/360fly/Chaparral/Yamaha Factory Racing YZ450F back onto the podium.

“I was wanting to make the pass happen, but Marvin was setting the pace out front, a really good one,” said Dungey, who now has a 24-race podium streak that dates back to last season.

“I lost some ground and then would gain on him. It kept going like that. Unfortunately we [almost] got together there at the end, but that’s racing. He’s [still] a winner tonight. To run like that like as a rookie is impressive.”

In the Eastern Regional 250SX final it was a major win for Rockstar Energy Husqvarna’s Martin Davalos, who withstood late pressure from Malcolm Stewart (Honda) and Aaron Plessinger (Yamaha).

With the opening race win Davalos now has a three-point lead over Stewart in the Eastern Regional standings. Plessinger is third, five point back.
