compared with the 14 of Doug and 15 of Fuji), which allowed him to finish the day in fourth place. In the postevent press conference, all the riders were happy for the level of sections, but they did complain about the strict time limits. DAY TWO The event organizers modified three sections and, above all, accepted the request of the riders to check the time at section 13, thus averting a dangerous high-speed ride on the road. Lampkin was beaten by Cabestany on time, exactly 35 seconds, because both scored the same points and the same number of cleans, dabs, etc. This was a very uncommon outcome, considering the high level of sections of this competition. Fujinami, meanwhile, gathered his worse result of the season, fifth place. Fujinami was unlucky because he yielded the fourth spot to Raga by just one clean! He made a couple of mistakes, fiving sections 12 and 13 in the first loop, probably feeling the pressure of being leader and facing the sections as last rider. Raga and Lampkin topped the first loop, each scoring nine points. Both carded only one five in section 12. In third there was Cabestany with 12 marks, while Fuji was fourth with one point more. On the second loop, Fujinami decided to precede Lampkin going into section six without looking at it first, and this was a big mistake because he did not clean out his engine, and so in front of the first big step he did not climb it and lost his chance for the win. On the contrary, Lampkin proceeded normally, losing some dabs here and there, but Cabestany was hot. He dabbed the difficult section 12 and finished the lap with only six points. Cabestany's total of 18 was the same as Lampkin's, and also the same were the number of cleans, etc. Still, this time it was necessary to use the time as discrimination, and just 35 seconds gave the Beta star his first win of the season. Third, thanks to a brilliant second loop, was Freixa, while the pair of Raga and Fujinami rounded out the top five. eN r-----------------------------------------------~~~~ o diately to Cycle News. 1 year/50 issues for $45.00.
