together. What happened next is
still a bit of a mystery, but Petrucci
crashed the Panigale V4 R in the
fast turn one after the finish line
and suffered a laceration on his
leg that required stiches. Petrucci
was in the medical center and
missed the podium ceremonies.
all, he'd destroyed his A bike in a
morning warm-up crash, forcing
his crew to try and replicate the
setup on the second bike.
Third place went to Petrucci,
the Italian crossing the line just
0.020 seconds behind Scholtz
as the pair raced to the finish line
BMW and just half a second behind
the two Tytlers BMWs.
Disrupt Racing's Hayden Gil-
lim ended up ninth with Tytlers
Cycle/RideHVMC Racing's Travis
Wyman rounding out the top 10.
Notable non-finishers included
Richie Escalante, the Vision
Wheel M4 Ecstar Suzuki rider
crashing out of the race early.
Once again, Gagne led from
start to finish in Sunday's race two.
He wanted no part of the battles
going on behind him and checked
out, leaving Scholtz, Petersen and
Petrucci to decide the rest of the
podium among themselves.
Scholtz ended up finishing
second. Again. This time Scholtz
wasn't overly upset with his fifth
runner-up finish of the year. After
