WIND IN THE P42 estly, I'm happy to keep it consis- tent. We're still in the points for everything and still good going into the next round." FMF/KTM's Trystan Hart had a bad night by his standards and was not pleased after the race. "It's round two of EnduroCross, and it's my third fifth-place in a row," said Hart. "It's a first for me to be in a position like this. In the last five years, this has never hap - pened to me. So, it's new. It's frus- trating. I know I'm a good rider, so eventually, something is going to happen, and I'll be back. It just happens. It happens to Eli Tomac. It happens to the best. We'll see what happens in the future." Sixth went to factory GasGas rider Taddy Blazusiak, who post - ed a 6-7-5 moto score despite crashing in the first moto. "The night went pretty good, to be honest," said Blazusiak. "I felt I had good speed. The bike was working better than the first round. I didn't do myself any favors with that first moto crash, with two corners to go. I got to - gether with Ryder. I believe I was third or second, I don't know. That cost me a lot tonight. Anyway, we are going in the right direction. I feel like my speed is good for where we are at in the season. We're going to keep working. We still have a few more things that we're going to test on Monday at the test track. I feel like we're going in the right direction. I've been there already. So, let's keep working and it will click. All we've got to do is just keep going hard." FactoryOne Sherco's Cooper Abbott's 9-5-6 was good enough for seventh overall. Abbott rode a four-stroke at the first round but opted for a two-stroke for Prescott. "First moto was a bit rough," said Abbott. "Some stuff's out of my hands, and that's a bit frustrating. But I simply need to ride better. I need to put myself in better positions. [I'm] not where I want to be. There are a lot of fast guys, and everybody is riding well. I know I can be a lot farther up there and battling for podiums and wins. I just got to put myself in better positions and I haven't done that so far." Eighth was GasGas rider Max Gerston (8-10-8), while 10th went to Dominik Olszowy of Poland who rode a Rieju to a 11-9-10 score. In the Women's Pro final, Over and Out/GasGas' Rachel Gutish came from behind to grab the win, while Melissa Harten was second and Hallie Marks was third.
