Lafountaine was second on
his Honda, ahead of RPM KTM's
Mateo Oliveira, who retained the
points lead.
"I sprinted for the first 30
minutes and I was spent," said
Hymas. "Once I pitted and got
some hydration, I worked to
catch Tallon. After I passed him, I
was dead. I'm pretty lucky to get
this win."
Lafountaine said he may have
put in too strong of a run early in
the race. After taking the hole-
shot, he led most of the event
before falling to second in the
end. Lafountaine is now second
in the championship, 13 points
behind Mateo Oliveira.
"I think I had a really good
pace for an hour or so, but
maybe it was a little too fast," said
Lafountaine. "Overall, it was a
good weekend. Mateo and I are
really close right now so we're
trying to finish as high as we can
every weekend."
Mateo Oliveira had to climb back
through the pack and challenged
Hymas at the end, but a crash
slowed his charge. Still, it marked
his third podium of the season after
winning the first two races.
"I had a bad start, but I made it
through the pack really quickly,"
he said. "I had a battle going with
Chance for a little while, but I
made a mistake and bent up my
bars. Overall, it was a good race
and with good points going into
the next round."
In Pro-Am, Brandy Richards
made history by winning the race
in a class that is made up com-
pletely of male riders. After an
intense battle with Evan Stice,
she rode her KTM home first.
Stice was second on his Hon-
da, followed by the Husqvarna of
Alex Morgan.
"Evan and I were battling for the
whole race," said Richards. "The
pace right away was just intense
so I fell back a little bit. Then I just
paced him until the last 20 min-
utes. I sprinted from there. I just
kept pushing and here it is."
Chance Hymas (832)
came from behind
then hung on to win
the Pro 250 class.
