Tely Energy KTM's Liam Drap- er turned in some impressive test times en route to third in the Pro division and fourth overall. "On Saturday, I finally figured out how to go fast on a cross test," said Draper. "I struggled with first two enduro tests yes- terday: in one I lost my brakes and then the other one I had two crashes. I lost a bunch of time there. But overall, it was a good weekend. I'm happy to finally start competing with times with Josh and Layne and Cody. It was a good weekend." Seven-Sixty Husqvarna's Thorn Devlin finished a strong fifth overall and second in the Pro 2 division, including one Pro 2 test win. "It was a pretty solid week- end," said Devlin. "I was able to get one test win from Cody, so I was kind of happy because he was on a roll this weekend. Other than that, I rode well. I've just got to get faster, get better and get stronger on the bike." RPM Racing KTM's Gus Rior- dan struggled with the woods section, but still managed sixth overall and third Pro 2 rider. "This was probably the tightest woods I've ever raced on so I just struggled with that," admit- ted Riordan. Forbes Racing KTM's Cole Forbes turned in his best per- formance of the season with seventh overall and first in the 250 A division. "I came out swinging and I was battling up in the top five overall on Saturday, but then I crashed two times and it put me all the way back to seventh or eighth overall," said Forbes. "But today I got back up there. No crashes today. Finally put one whole full day together and did good today." Husqvarna rider Gavin Simon gave Forbes a run for his money, but in the end settled for second in the 250 A class and eighth overall.
