Gerloff completes the hat trick in second Rev’It Moriwaki MD250H Powered by Honda race at Indianapolis
Indianapolis, IN – 30 Aug 2010: Garrett Gerloff completed the hat trick at the Red Bull Indianapolis Grand Prix, winning Sunday’s Rev’It Moriwaki MD250H Powered by Honda race as well as taking the win on Saturday and qualifying on pole in Friday’s qualifying session. Gerloff got off to a strong start to take the lead into the first turn and continued to pull away during the race. As in Saturday’s race, a battle for second place developed immediately between Nick McFadden, Jake Lewis, Ryan Matter and Stefano Mesa.
'I definitely got a better start today,' said Gerloff. 'I led into turn one and really tried to put my head down and run away. Jake and Nick stayed with me the first couple of laps. I was getting kind of nervous, but I started to pull away little by little and I was monitoring the gap on my pit board.' Gerloff continued to run faster laps than the group fighting over second, and his margin of victory was 11.33 seconds at the end of the 11 lap race.
McFadden dropped back early in the race after a poor start. 'I got off to a worse start than I did yesterday, and I just dropped back the first three laps,' said McFadden. 'After that, I got in a rhythm, put my head down and caught back up to these guys.' Ryan Matter was the young man on the move, drafting past both McFadden and Lewis, who had held down second for the first seven laps. McFadden was shuffled back to fourth, but not for long. 'I sat there for a couple of laps, then made a move,' said McFadden. 'With two laps to go, I figured it was getting to the end of the race and I needed to get up there. I made a pass into turn one and held them both off until the end.'
Lewis was shuffled from second back to fourth place with four laps to go. 'Yeah, Ryan and Nick flew past me on the front straight and I didn’t know that Ryan was up there too,' Lewis said. 'I put my head down to get back past those two because Garrett was already way out there. I was able to get around Ryan, but I couldn’t get past Nick at the line.' The difference at the finish between the three riders was a mere .228 seconds. Â
Stefano Mesa faded to fifth, then was caught and passed on the last lap by Ben Young. Nick Hansen, Grayson Gerloff and Joe Roberts rounded out the top nine positions. As on Saturday, there was a six-rider race-long battle over tenth place that ended with Kaleb De Keyrel over Max Flinders, Andre Ochs, Tyler Linders, Lex Hartl and Brandon Altmeyer.

Next Moto Champion: Gerloff takes convincing win over Lewis and McFadden in first RevÂ’It Moriwaki MD250H Powered by Honda race at Indianapo...: USGRPU Press Release:
Gerloff takes convincing win over Lewis and McFadden in first Rev’It Moriwaki MD250H Powered by Honda race at Indianapolis
Indianapolis, IN – 28 Aug 2010: Garrett Gerloff took the lead on the second lap and never looked back, taking a convincing win in the Rev’It Moriwaki MD250H Powered by Honda race on a sunny Saturday afternoon at the 2010 Red Bull Indianapolis Grand Prix. Starting from pole, Gerloff was beat to turn one by Jake Lewis with Peter Lenz in pursuit. Gerloff went past Lenz and set out after Lewis, who led the first lap. Gerloff went past on lap two and immediately pulled out a lead that grew each lap.
'I was a little worried,' said Gerloff. 'Peter got around me after I ran off the track a little bit. I passed Peter and caught back up to Jake, just trying to keep focused. I tried to pull away and not have as much pressure at the end if he was right behind me.'
Jake Lewis tried valiantly to hang with Gerloff, going half a second faster than he had qualified, but to no avail. 'I was trying to hang on and pushing it to the limit, but he was just going really good today,' said Lewis. 'Halfway through the race I looked back and saw Nick and Peter right there, and I was like Gosh, I didn’t know they were still there!’, so I started pushing even harder. Towards the end of the race, my foot started slipping off the peg and I made some silly mistakes and they caught right up. Nick passed me after the finish, it was close but that was good.'
Nick McFadden was able to go with the lead group at the start, and passed Lenz on lap four. Lenz latched on and pushed McFadden to the end, both riders turning their fastest laps on the last lap as they saw they were closing on Lewis. 'I was just trying to catch up after getting a bad start,' McFadden said. 'Stefano Mesa passed me going off the back straightaway, and I got separated from him and Peter a pretty good ways. I just put my head down and tried to catch up. After I caught Stefano and got past Peter, I could see we were reeling in Jake. About halfway through the race, Peter showed me a wheel and I just outbroke him and kept my head down.'
Stefano Mesa held on to finish fifth, four seconds ahead of Ryan Matter, who finished four seconds ahead of Joe Roberts in seventh place. Grayson Gerloff won a race-long battle over eighth place ahead of Nick Hansen, Ben Young, Andre Ochs and Austin Medrano, with the five riders nose-to-tail throughout the race.
