NATIONAL WESTERN EVENTS CENTER / DENVER, COLORADO
P70
on Blazusiak but was not able to
make a pass for the lead. Hart
hung on for third. Gerston and
Cullins rounded out the top five
in moto one.
MOTO 2
In moto two, the gate picks
were reversed from the moto
one results and SRT/Three Bros
Husqvarna-backed Noah Kepple
took the lead and led the first
lap. Blazusiak came out second
despite the second-row start
and passed Kepple on lap two.
Haaker moved past Kepple on lap
three and again closed on Blazu-
siak, but he again finished a close
second. Kepple held on for third
in the moto. Cullins and Hart fin-
ished fourth and fifth respectively.
HOT-LAP
For the second EnduroCross
round in a row, Blazusiak got the
day started by setting the fastest
time during the Seat Concepts
Hot Laps, topping the Denver
chart with a 48.618-second lap.
Hart, TM's Ty Cullins, Haaker
and Beta's Max Gerston round-
ed out the top five.
MOTO1
Hart took the Fox Holeshot
in moto one with Cullins close
behind. Blazusiak passed Cullins
on lap two, but it took him until
lap five of nine to pass Hart for
the lead. Haaker completed lap
one in fifth and worked his way
through the field to pass Hart for
second on lap six. He closed in
in the three-moto format after
a pretty bad crash in the third
moto. Trystan Hart, the young
Canadian, finished third overall
after winning the final moto.
The EnduroCross series now
uses a three-moto format for the
Super EnduroCross (Pro) class.
An afternoon hot lap determines
the moto-one gate picks and
then moto-two gate picks are
inverted from the moto one
results. The final moto gate picks
are based on the moto-two re-
sults. With only eight gates and
16 riders, all of the riders start
on the second row at least once.
Blazusiak took the overall win
with 1-1-2 scores. Haaker had
2-2-4 finishes and Hart logged a
strong 3-5-1 tally.
Colton Haaker was fast
but subpar starts had him
chasing Taddy Blazusiak
most of the night. A crash
early in the third moto
snuffed out any chance
for the overall.
