"I got stuck behind a group of riders
on the opening laps and knew I had to
quickly cut my way through the field
because I could see Ken was pulling
away," Eli Tomac said a er ge ng third

and started charging and made it up to
fourth behind Adam before the half-
way mark. A er ge ng past Adam, I
could see second place and I eventually

and, with a be er start, could have
challenged for the win."
