Red Bull KTM’s Marvin Musquin is holding a hot hand right now. He won a million dollars last weekend at the Monster Cup, and then tonight he scored the Red Bull Straight Rhythm for the second year in a row. He’s got to be the favorite going into 2018 at this point. At the Straight Rhythm, Musquin topped Josh Hansen to win the gold. Musquin’s teammate Broc Tickle scored third on the night after beating Kyle Chisholm, who was riding really well, too. PHOTOGRAPHY BY STEVE COX

2017 Red Bull Straight Rhythm Results
Gared Steinke has been racing a two-stroke at the professional level for years, so the superstars who showed up probably didn’t have much hope of beating him, in hindsight. Here, Steinke takes down Ryan Villopoto. Steinke beat Ronnie Mac in the final round to take the win. Mac had a big crash in the first race of the final round, but still kept race two close. Ryan Sipes ended up third in the two-stroke class after beating Ryan Villopoto in the third-place round. PHOTOGRAPHY BY STEVE COX
