good thing," said Girroir. "The Pro 2 guys were flying all day. I finally put it together in the sixth test on Saturday and came out swinging for Sunday. Today, I minimized the mistakes and stayed off the ground and had a good day." Riordan ruled the Cross test on both days, with all four of his wins coming in the test (which was a combination of grass track and woods) en route to second overall for the weekend and first in the Pro 2 division. Barnes, Duvall and Barbosa rounded out the top five. "It was good to finally get a win over Cody," said Riordan. "He's been showing it to us all last year and this year. So, it was good." After winning on Saturday, Barnes had a rough day on Sun - day, spending too much time on the ground, which dropped him to third overall and second in the Pro 2 division. "Yesterday was good; I rode well," said Barnes. "Today, Angus wanted to show us all how to go fast. Both tests were super fun. I had a lot of fun, but I should have had a little less mistakes, but it is what it is." Duvall started off with a slow start on Saturday, finishing fifth, but picked up the pace on Sunday, beating Barbosa by 19 seconds, which gave the Gas - Gas rider fourth overall for the weekend. "Yesterday was a bit of a struggle," said Duvall. "I just couldn't stay off the ground. I was fighting the bike a little bit. But we made some changes yesterday afternoon after the race and it seemed to help today. I felt like it was definitely a lot more racy today. I was bat - tling for test wins with Johnny, so that's always a plus." Barbosa was fifth overall, de - spite a huge crash in the second test, while FXR GasGas' Layne Michael, who only rode Sunday's event due to a prior commit - ment, was sixth overall, despite the deficit. VOLUME ISSUE MARCH , P37 Angus Riordan was second overall and the Pro 2-class winner.
