"Then I dropped my wheel into a
hole and I went over the bars. It
took me a lap to really get going

missing two races in the middle of

a broken clutch lever to score the
final spot on the podium.
"Today was tough because
a rock came up and broke my

I would fall over. I gave it my all
and I'm ready to keep pushing."

but he should be back in action

of the season. Riding a KTM, Ma-

off a charging Tallon Lafountaine
on his Honda for the victory. Todd
Sibell finished third on a Kawasaki.
Though Lafountaine lost five
points on Oliveira in the title
chase, but he's still just 12 points
out of the lead going into the fi-
nal race. He has come on strong
Taylor Robert was
hoping to clinch the title
at Primm but that will
have to wait until the
final round. Robert was
second in Primm but
still has firm control of
the championship.
