Devlin. "I rode well in the cross
test, but I struggled in the enduro
test. The course was hard and
slick and I had problems finding
traction. In the enduro test, I just
didn't have enough confidence on
the slick dirt to hang it out. But the
bike worked great and I couldn't
have asked for any more."
Jesse Ansley (Trail Jesters
KTM Racing KTM) was ninth
overall and fourth in the Pro2
class, while Billy Schlag (KTM)
was top-finishing Pro-Am rider in
10th overall. KTM riders Brewer
Cawley and RJ Cook were
second and third in the Pro-Am
class.
Tely Energy KTM's Steward
Baylor won Sunday's round after
not getting scored on Saturday
after he changed bikes during
the day. Steward started out on a
KTM 500, which he is scheduled
to ride at this year's ISDE in Por-
tugal, however, it was Steward's
first ride on the bike and he was
not comfortable, so he switched
back to his 450.
On Sunday, Steward changed
rear shocks and came away with
four test wins to edge Duvall out
for Sunday's win by four seconds.
"This was just sort of a practice
race for me, since I am riding the
500 in Portugal," said Baylor. "I
just didn't feel comfortable on the
bike Saturday, so I switched back
to the 450, but we got it dialed in
on Sunday and I felt pretty good."
Husqvarna-backed Tayla Jones
remained perfect in the Women's
Pro class, adding her ninth and
10th wins of the season in Vir-
ginia. Jones won four of the six
tests on Saturday and five of the
six tests on Sunday to beat Mack-
enzie Tricker (MEP MX KTM) by
41 seconds for the win. Becca
Sheets (Maxxis/KTM) was third
overall another 12 seconds back.
