AmPro Yamaha's Rachael Archer took an impressive win in the WXC Pro Women's division, beating BABS Racing Yamaha/ Fly/Maxxis/Pro Circuit's Becca Sheets and Factory Beta USA's Rachel Gutish for the honors. "I was last off the line then I made some really aggres- sive passes on the first lap and caught up to Rachel Gutish who was in the lead," said Archer. "We went back and forth about three or four times and then I finally got ahead and just pulled and eighth in the XC1 division. "Coming into the race being injured, I just tried to ride smooth and pick my lines," said Toth. "I kind of lost the lead group after the first lap and it took me a lap or two to get my flow. I'm compensating on one hand with everything, so my right arm definitely got more pumped up but it loosened up and I just kind of rode my own race dodging all the holes in the ground and tried to play it safe." In the FMF XC3 125cc Pro- Am class, Magna1 Motorsports/ Husqvarna's Jonathan Johnson took the win over Yamaha- Rachael Archer topped the Women's Pro class.
