In a word, Yes. Dungey rode in the same fashion he has all season, consistent and fast. Dungey and Alessi chased down Metcalfe who took the holeshot in the first moto. Andrew Short had a horrible start after the worst possible gate pick, and ran mid pack. The battle for the lead was two riders you wouldnt expect, Metcalfe and Townley. Unfortunately Townley went down, got up, and went down again after some contact with Short. 

Dungey worked his way up past Hahn for second place, which would have allowed him to take the title at the closing of the race. As one might expect, he didnt want to settle for 2nd place. Metcalfe and Dungey had a great battle, and Dungey couldnt out-smart the defensive riding Metcalfe. Unfortunately, metcalfe ran out of gas with a half lap to go, followed by Hahn. 

Moto2 had a massive pile up at the start of the race, and Windham and Metcalfe worked their way past the problem and led the race from the start. Short and Metcalfe crashed later on in the opening lap, though. Dungey and Townley took the lead as the chaotic race continued on, with Windham and Alessi taking the 3rd and 4th spot. Alessi recovered some lost points by finishing 3rd in the first moto. Dungey took the win at the final stages of the race, with notable series latecomer Matt Goerke who is back in action after recovering from a leg injury finishing 3rd.
