Sebastien Tortelli put his dismal Supercross season firmly behind ꦺhim by winning the Hangtown Outdoor🐷 National, and taking the lead in the points standings after two rounds.

Tortelli won the 250 class on his Honda/Universal Studios CR 250 by winnin💧g the first moto, and fini🍨shing third in the second, to beat National champion Ricky Carmichael, who claimed the runner-up spot overall.

Carmichael had some problems in the first moto, but fought back in his usual style to finish in fifth. The K𓄧awasaki rider then w♎on the second moto, in a repeat of his performance at round one, Glen Helen.

The final podium position went to Mike LaRocco on the Amsoil/Dr. Martens Honda with a second and fifth placed finishes, under the Cal🌠ifornian sun.

Tortelli's victory will go some way towards easing his fears ofꦍ losing his seat at Honda, if the rumours of Ricky Carmichael signing for the Red Rider𝔉s are true.

Grant Langston won the 125 cla𓆏ss on his Red Bull/KTM with an impressive double moto sweep. The result means that the South African keeps his perfect outdoor record in 2001🐽: four races - four wins.

Meanꦜwhile, reigning National champion Travis Pastrana had race finishes of nintꦰh and second to give him second overall. Third place went to Pastrana's Suzuki team-mate Rodrig Thain with finishes of fourth and ninth.
