the Enduro test this morning,
which is where I was struggling,"
said Baylor. "I pedaled that track
and really over-analyzed every-
thing, and it paid off. I guess it
goes to show nobody has an
advantage at these things. It's
just who the fastest rider is at the
end. Those guys were faster than
me yesterday."
Michael was second on both
days and second overall, having
won an Enduro test on Saturday
and a Cross test on Sunday.
"I rode really well all weekend,
stayed off the ground and just
tried to be smooth," said Mi-
chael. "I came in a little banged
up from the Georgia GNCC and
didn't feel the best, but we made
due. Actually, my riding was really
good this weekend, and I was

but Stew just obliterated us in the
Enduro test today. I was riding
pissed off about it. I was trying
everything I could, but he just
definitely had the edge out there
today. Got better as we went on
and got a little closer, but, over-

Girroir was third overall for the
weekend and first in the Pro2

"But the track changed drasti-
cally overnight and today it was
super dry and slippery, so you
just had to kind of drift it and
tip-toe around and that made it
tricky. I'm usually better in the
ruts and softer stuff."
Draper was on the gas on Sat-
urday, winning two of the Enduro
tests. However, a mishap on
Sunday put the New Zealander
in a hole he couldn't climb out of
and he wound up finishing fourth
overall for the weekend and third
in the Pro 1 division.
"On Saturday, I just hit my
marks all day, no mistakes, no
crashes or bad lines and I ended
up winning the last two Enduro
tests," said Draper. "And that's
the closest I've ever been to
Layne and Stew in Cross tests,
so it was just a good day; I was

2-class rider in third overall.
