good. I knew I had to try to start
limiting the damage. He's won
every day so far, until today.
Yesterday, I had a fall in the first
enduro test and kind of lost the
majority of that time, but it was
still 17 seconds. Today we were
pretty even. I was able to nip him
a couple times and on that last
test I think it was the furthest gap
we had all day. It was a good
weekend for me. It's definitely
going to be an exciting year
with Johnny and I going at it. It's
good to stop some bleeding and
carry this momentum into the
next one."
Barnes was third overall for
the weekend with a 2-3 per-
formance and first in the Pro 2
class with a class win on each
day. In addition to his two out-
right test wins, Barnes also won
all 12 tests in the Pro 2 class.
"I kind of struggled a little bit
in the first cross test. It was re-
ally hard-packed and slick, but I
kind of got a good feel for it and
ended up winning one of the
next two," said Barnes. "The en-
duro test was challenging. There
were a lot of tree roots, a lot of
chop, so you had to ride smart
and not make a lot of mistakes.
I was able to do that and have
some really good times. Overall,
it was a really good weekend. I
didn't crash and I'm really happy
with how my bike is working."
(Right) Pro 2 rider Cody Barnes was
flying. The Honda rider won two
tests over the weekend, finished

topping all tests in the division.
Josh Toth won a test Saturday
and took fourth overall.
