Jeff Ward continued his dominance of the supermoto division Sunday at the AMA CycleFest at Copper Mountain. Ward, of Newport Beach, Calif., won both final supermoto races, after doing the same in the first two races Saturday.
Ward’s average lap time of 1 minute, 6.95 seconds in the first Sunday race outpaced Christopher Fillmore, of Oxford, Miss.
In the second race, Ward beat Massimiliano Gazzarata of San Carlos, Calif., with an average lap time of 1:06.33.
Doug Henry, who entered Colorado with the AMA season points lead, flipped over his handlebars attempting a triple jump in the second race. He was taken to an area hospital with a collapsed lung and a broken pelvis, according to an AMA official.
“The triple was pretty slick,” Ward said after his second win of the day.
