enjoyed the bike and trails."
Husqvarna's Evan Smith hadn't
raced a major race since April
due to injury, but turned a few
heads with a solid fifth overall.
"It feels so good to be racing
again," said Smith. "My first two
tests were quite an awakening,
trying to remember how to go
fast in tight woods, but around
switched to a 350 XC-F for the
Alabama round in hopes of shak-
ing things up a bit, but a couple
of mistakes kept him off the
podium.
"I had a pretty solid ride today
to finish fourth, not too far off the
podium," said Kelley. "Jumping
back on the 350 for this week-
end felt a little awkward at the
beginning but I found my flow
had brake issues in that one with
a few miles to go," said Duvall.
"I feel like I'm getting better with
each race, just knocking those
cobwebs off. It's been a long
time since I went that fast. This
was the Baylor's back yard, for
sure, and any time I'm within
striking distance of those two I
feel like I've had a good test."
