what the points are. I just want to
take as many wins as I can and
see at the end of the year [how it
turns out]."
This has been a frustrating
season for Serpa, the current
series champ unable to replicate
last year's successes. In fact, he
hadn't even podiumed until OMC.
"It's a bummer; I felt like I got
[third] kind of handed to me by
others' misfortune, but I'll take it,"
he declared. "Two more rounds,
I'd like to get two more podiums.
This year's been pretty tough. I
don't ride like I practice so I'm
trying to work on that."
Americool/TBT Racing/Answer
YZ250F rider Jaden Dahners
topped the Pro 250s for the first
time, finishing fourth overall in the
process. In fact, fourth, fifth and
sixth overall were all Pro 250s
with DC Yamaha's Mason Otters-
berg rebounding from a last-place
start on his Precision Concepts/
Rocket Exhaust/Pure Adrenaline
YZ250FX for class runner-up and
fifth overall, four seconds ahead
of MojoMotoSport/Six Five O
Racing/Fasthouse KTM 250
XC-F rider Anthony Ferrante. In
addition, Ferrante was the last
rider on the lead lap.
Points-wise, Ottersberg enjoys
a comfortable lead over Fer-
rante, 124-92. One point back
of Ferrante, thanks to his win, is
Dahners.
Things were going well for
Zane Roberts for just over an
hour as he held a strong third
place, but when his FMF/Dun-
lop/Klim 480 RR balked at the
far end of the course, he lost at
least a lap getting it pushed back
to the pits and repaired. Officially
19th nearly 90 minutes in, he
clawed his way back to seventh
overall and fourth Pro, salvaging
precious points.
DC Yamaha's Jack Anderson
set a consistent pace to earn
eighth overall, fourth Pro 250,
ahead of Open A winner Dallas
Serpa on his Carson City Motor-
sports GasGas. Pro 250 rider
Seven Diaz rounded out the top
10 overall on his Modesto KTM.
O'Neal GasGas rider Devin
Watson took Vet Pro 35+ for the
third time this season, finishing
17th overall, James McMurray the
class runner-up on his RMS KTM
at 35th overall.
In the morning race, 3 Bros./
Kilmartin Racing GasGas-mount-
ed Ava Silvestri took advantage of
the red-flag restart to snatch the
lead on the second lap and chalk
up her third consecutive victory
aboard her Blud Lubricants/
Factory Connection/Troy Lee
Designs EX 250F. Coupled with
defending champ Kaitlyn Jacobs
slipping to fourth on her FMF/
RPM Racing KTM, Silvestri com-
mands the points over Jacobs,
141-123.
Let's Ride KTM-backed Ashley
Gage had a great day, getting the
holeshot on the restart and riding
that to a career-best runner-up
finish. Full Factory KTM's Rachel
Stout ended up third for the third
time this season and holds third
in class points.
