icy dirt. Never really got a flow
going. We come out today and
made a couple of changes this
morning before I went and rode.
I think that helped. Right off the
bat, first cross test, I was a lot
more competitive. Just had a
much better day today."
Thorn Devlin put his 760
Husqvarna into sixth overall
and third in the Pro 2 division,
finishing just 15 seconds be-
hind Snodgrass. After riding for
another team in 2021, Devlin was
making his first ride on a new
bike.
"First go on the new bike and
everything went well," said Dev-
lin. "Yesterday, I was just trying
to maintain on the cross test and
then do the work in the enduro
test where I kind of shine a little
bit more. It was kind of a man-
agement day today, and then just
kind of watched the times and
making up when I could and be
reserved when it was appropri-
ate."
Australian Mason Semmens
made his debut ride in America
and came away with seventh
overall. The Trail Jesters Racing
KTM rider was also fourth in the
Pro 2 division.
"The sprint enduro format is
definitely cool," said Semmens.
"Coming from a motocross back-
ground, the enduro test seemed
tight, so it was definitely a big
learning curve. My knuckles are
pretty busted up, and my neck,
too. The trees definitely don't
move when you run into them,
but all in all it was a good learn-
ing weekend."
Tely Racing KTM's Liam
Draper returned to racing hav-
ing spent the last four months
recovering from knee surgery
and came away with fourth in the
Pro division and eighth over-
all. Meanwhile, RPM Racing's
Angus Riordan of Australia was
ninth overall and fifth in the Pro
2 class.
Bubz Tasha (KTM) won the
Pro-Am division with a 10th over-
all finish.
Rockstar Energy Husqvarna's
Tayla Jones took the win in the
Women's Pro class after topping
nine of the 12 tests.
"I was a little nervous about
racing in the snow, but it turned
out to be fun," said Jones. "I got
some test wins and got settled
into my new bike, so all is good."
Trail Jesters Racing KTM's
Kori Steede won three tests and
was second overall in Women's
Pro. Meanwhile, Bonanza
Plumbing KTM's Rachel Gutish
rounded out the podium in third.
