ibility decreasing due to dust, he
throttled it back and settled for
second, earning his third podium
of the season.
Aeck learned that WORCS'
longer format worked to his ad-
vantage. After hitting a hole and
doing on endo early in the race,
he recovered to finished third.
"Today I found the only mud-
hole on the track and flipped try-
ing to make a pass," said Aeck.
"I just need to minimize those
mistakes, and I think we'll move
up higher on the box."
In Pro Am, DiFrancesco came
in hot right from the start, taking
the holeshot and leading every
subsequent lap in dominating
fashion on his Kawasaki.
Brandy Richards was second
on her KTM, backing up her vic-
tory in the last round.
Matt Canepa was third on his
KTM.
"I think the longest moto I've
ever ridden was an hour and
that was only halfway there in
this race," said DiFrancesco.
"The first hour was super fun,
and then the track got torn up
and powdery. So, I had to slow it
down a little bit and I cruised to
the finish."
Richards stuck with DiFran-
cesco for the first lap before she
crashed. She recovered to run
second for the rest of the race.
Canepa is another motocross
convert and he enjoyed the high
speed of the Honolulu Hills track.
The third-place finish marked his
first podium of the season.
Richards remains unbeaten in
Pro Women. She rode her KTM
to her fourth consecutive victory
ahead of Kaitlyn Jacobs and Eva
Silvestri.
The WORCS motorcycles re-
turn to action June 11-13 at Cache
Valley MX in Preston, Idaho.
