Well, that didn’t take long.

A big pile-up kicked off the 450 Moto 1 race at the Redbud National on Saturday afternoon in Michigan.

As the bikers rounded the first turn, Trey Canard and Heath Harrison went down, followed by Cooper Webb whose front tire got stuck, catapulting him across traffic. Weston Peick was also involved in the pile up. Meanwhile, more bikers trying to avoid the crash piled up behind them.

Peick recovered to finish 14th overall, while Webb, who was in third in the race at the time of the crash, placed third to last. Canard took 13th place in the race.

Eli Tomac took home first with a best time of 2:03.084.
