while it seemed like they were
both going to pull away, but then
Roczen slowly lost touch with
the leader.

Tomac overtook Webb. Musquin
seemed to have found his old
groove and soon dispatched Roc-

REMEMBERED
This was the first Washougal Na-

time event promoter Ralph Huffman,

was remembered with a moment of

the head but it's all good. We'll take
the break to recover and get back to
it at Unadilla."
