Metcalfe cakewalks to MX1 clean sweep

Aldergrove's Colton Facciotti out of action with broken bones

Brett Metcalfe recorded his first win in Canada at Round 2 of the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals in Kamloops on Sunday at Whispering Pines Raceway.

With Aldergrove's Colton Facciotti exiting the track early, after breaking a leg and a hand in the first heat, the Australian Metcalfe encountered no resistance and basically cakewalked his way to a clean sweep.

First Canadian on the overall podium was Tyler Medaglia. The Ottawa native nailed second overall on the strength of 2-2 heats.

Metcalfe had already served notice that he was ready to give last week's double-heat winner Facciotti a run for his money by logging the fastest qualifying time; followed by Facciotti, Teddy Maier, Tyler Medaglia and his brother Jeremy.

California's Austin Politelli nailed down his second consecutive win of the season in MX2. This time Politelli did it with a convincing clean sweep.

As at Round 1 the first Canadian proved again to be Quebec's Kaven Benoit. He scored 2-2 heats to claim second overall.

Of the two local MX1 riders Josh Allen recorded a noteworthy 15th overall on the strength of 17-13 results.

Greg Small for his part had a dismal day, failing to finish both heats.
