Puzar finished sixth in the second rnoto, and his points for the day moved h im to second in th e standings past Marn iqc Bervoets, who dro pped back a position in the titl e chase d ue to an ankle injury suffered in Sa turday's sloppy practice. T he san dy Man to va supercross-style circu i t was still wet on race day, as riders su nk in the sand upon landin g fro m many of the 22 j umps on the course.
