Serpa. "I can't win them all, so
consistency will benefit me in
the long run rather than riding
over my head and ending up on
the ground."
In Pro 2 Lights, Mateo
Oliveira rode his GasGas
two-stroke to victory, ahead of
Brandy Richards (KTM) and Ty-
ler Nicholson. Tyler Toline took
the holeshot in the class, but
Oliveira battled past him when
he blew a corner. From there
he gapped the field to score the
victory.
"I tried to get up front as fast
as I could after having a me-
diocre start," said Oliveira. "I
sprinted the last 50 minutes, got a
good gap, and kept it in front."
Richards was celebrating her
first ever WORCS Pro 2 Lights
podium. She showed she had the
speed and the determination to run
competitively with the guys.
"I feel great and I had a great
time out there," said Richards.
"With the women, I try to get up
front early, but these guys are a lot
faster so I had to battle with them
and make some passes. They're
really fast and hard to pass."
Nicholson enjoyed the technical
sections and the new rock areas.
He had issues, though, with the
desert section and its expansive
sand whoops.
"The track was gnarly out there
today," said Nicholson. "The rocks
were pretty good, but the sand
whoops got really rough." CN
