I was able to put in a couple test wins. I had a good start, I won a couple but then it was just pure downhill from there. I was laying on the ground three out of six tests today. I need to eliminate that. Then today, I just threw it away. I felt like I had the speed and was comfortable all week - end. It feels good to be battling with these guys after a rough first round. Definitely getting better. Just got to keep these boys on their toes." RPM Racing's Angus Riordan was sixth after an exceptional ride in Saturday's second cross but really intense. But I'm happy with my pace, with my speed, with my team." Barnes was fourth overall and was second on the Pro 2 podium. "The first day didn't really go that well," said Barnes. "The sec - ond cross test I threw it all away by crashing twice. I was kind of riding like an idiot, pushing too hard in the slop. I crashed right off the bat pretty high speed and was all mad so I was pinning it. Then I crashed again, when really I should have just slowed down and rode smart. I threw the weekend away right there."
