worked on sprint speed. We did some testing on the bike and got some better parts," he said. "It was a really good break so I was happy and I was ready. I really like this place." It showed, as he ran in second aboard his FMF/Dunlop/FXR 480 RR, ultimately finishing 40 seconds behind Hymas and 16 ahead of Lynn. After Oliveira, Walton and Martinez, Ryan Surratt finished seventh in his first race for the Johnny Campbell Racing (JCR) Honda team, followed by 3 Bros/Kilmartin Racing GasGas rider Giacomo Redondi, 3 Bros/ Jet World Husqvarna-mounted Justin Hoeft and SLR Honda's Tallon LaFountaine. In Pro II, FMF/RPM Racing KTM's Mateo Oliveira appeared to be headed for his seventh- consecutive class victory of the season until a technical issue ended his race prematurely. That was all that Kai Aiello needed to notch his first NGPC Pro II triumph aboard his 3 Bros/ Kilmartin Racing Husqvarna FC 250. "It's not the way I wanted to take it, but it's nice to see that [my] pace was a lot better after the summer break," he said. Ma- teo still leads Pro II points over Aiello, 180-151, and both planned to fly to France on Monday to join the rest of the U.S. ISDE team. Aiello's KTM-mounted 3 Bros/ Kilmartin Racing teammate Colton Aeck was 14 seconds behind for the runner-up spot with SLR Honda's Evan Stick returning to action in fine form, his third in class his best result to date. Speaking of Six Days, cur- rent Pro Women champ and points leader Brandy Richards is already in France with much of the team, leaving the class up for grabs. JCR Honda's Tarah Gieger was only too happy to grab the holeshot and lead a majority of the way, but the former champ got out of shape two laps from the end. That allowed 3 Bros/ Kilmartin Racing GasGas char- ger Ava Silvestri to nab her first-ever Pro Women win with Gieger holding onto second and Silvestri's teammate Lauren Woods third. Second in points going into the round, Silvestri's debut vic- tory sees her match, Richards, at the top of the points table with 180 apiece going into round eight in October.

Tallon LaFontaine (Hon) IN THE WIND P46 With reigning Pro Women champ Brandy Richards already in France for the ISDE, that left the door open for a new winner who turned out to be Ava Silvestri. After trailing former champ Tarah Gieger for much of the race, a miscue by Gieger allowed Silvestri to snap up the lead and not only take her first Pro Women victory but move into a tie with Richards atop the points at 180 each.
