clock. Dean took advantage to
rip past Gauthier, but the 2019
champ found it easier to reclaim
second than he had to take over
first.
A last-gasp attempt fell short
by 0.202 of a second at the flag,
seeing Brunner claim his second
win of the season.
Gauthier and Dean rounded
out the podium while Whale,
Drane, and Saathoff followed in
line in that order
While Kopp is out of reach
short of a genuine disaster with
308 points, Brunner is back in
second and with a nine-point
cushion over teammate Drane for
runner-up honors (273-264) with
just the double finale to go.

mate, Tom Drane, and Turner
Racing Honda's Chase Saa-
thoff, any of whom—perhaps
all of whom—would pounce on
Gauthier it he put a wheel wrong
in an errant attempt to take the
lead.
In fact, that actually hap
-
pened. Brunner and Gauthier
both nearly lost the front with
less than 30 seconds on the
Certified KTM, who was look-
ing to snap his 12-race podium
drought with a win at a track he
conquered a year ago.
But try as he might, Gauthier
could not find a way past. That
difficult task was made that
much harder by the looming
presence of Walrath Racing's
Tanner Dean, Red Bull KTM's
Max Whale, Brunner's team
-
Brunner, Gauthier and
semiretired Tanner
Dean made up the
Singles podium.
Gauthier got on the podium for
the first time in 12 races.
