nated the first two races, Bell
showed that he is coming and
Robert had better not let up.
"I feel like I've proven
myself, especially this week-
end," said Bell. "On Sunday, I
definitely kept Taylor honest.
The Kawasaki has been really
good for me this year. I've
adapted well, and I'm feeling
really good on the bike. We'll
just keep building."
Oliveira and Sutherlin bat-
tled it out both days. Sutherlin
was in winning form after
returning from a foot injury.
However, he cased a jump
on Sunday on his KTM, and
that opened it up for Oliveira
to take the final spot on the
box. Oliveira was also riding
a KTM.
"I got off to a slow start on
Saturday, but I was able to
turn that around on Sunday,"
Oliveira said. "I pushed a little
harder and messed with sus-
pension a little bit on Sunday,
so I got a lot better times, and
I made it up to the podium.
The mud was cool, and the
dirt was perfect in the off-
road. It was super rough, so
that made it really fun. It was
a great course."
In Open A, Austin Walton
earned his first victory of the
season. Austin Serpa and
Cooper Abbott completed the
podium.
