over the wall on the first lap were the Ie
Riche brothers - Brent also with a two,
and Bruce with a three.
On the second lap, Florin came back
with a spectacu lar clean at the wall.
Spaniard David Chaves also took a clean ,
wh ile every other ride fived the section .
O n lap three, the wheels appeared to
be com ing off fo r Florin, as he logged two
fives in a row on the third and fourth sec tions, and then added another in the relative ly easy section 12. However, the
Floridian cruised home with a 13-po int
margin for the win, wh ile Aaron nippe d
Brent Ie Riche by a single mark for second.
"It's about time," said Florin, who has
been close to winning his first National
before but has neve r managed to seal the
deal. "It took me a while to look at all the
sco res and make sure I really did it."
"I haven't re ally had good luck riding
the New England Nationals, so it rea lly
doesn't surprise me that much ," lamented
Aaron . "Chris had a real good ride , so
hats off to him."
Webb was the talk of Sunday's event,
running out front, oblivious to the mind
games going on behind him and setting
the standa rd in almost every section he
e nco untere d on the first lap.
Afte r two laps of the IS-section
course, Webb continued to lead with a
total of 35 po ints. Aaron was two po ints
back with 27, while thr ee other riders Chaves, Florin and Bell - were still in the
mix with 39 points each. Aaro n's last lap,
howe ver, made the difference.
"W he n I did make mistakes on the last
lap, I was able to hang on for cleans or
ones," said Aaron . "Those cou ld have
eas ily turned into twos or threes. I still
made some mistakes , but I was trying real
hard on the last lap, because I knew that
it was going to come down to the w ire."
Aaron's 14-pointfinal lap clinchedthe win,
while Webb blew up, dropping 25 marks .
"I misse d a mar ker and broke a ribbon,
but I think you're hearing the same story
from everybody," added Aaron . '" think
[the organizer s] did a good job, but it was
easy to make mistakes like that and ge t
tangled up in the markers and st uff. I did a
good job of trying to keep my scores to a
minimum, but it was a real close one."
Bell claimed the second-place spot
with 55 points, com pared to Aaron's 51.
Webb was th ird wit h 60, while Florin and
Bruce Ie Riche were fourt h and fifth with
62 and 63.
