On Sunday, Girroir was deter- mined and ready. As a result, he won all three cross tests and one enduro test to outpace DeLong for the win. "Today went smooth," said Girroir. "I kept her off the ground, found some good speed in the cross test and had a good last enduro test." Third was Barnes, with Rior - dan and Husqvarna-backed Jason Tino rounding out the top five. Riordan also topped the Pro 2 division with Tino second. "I had a good weekend with second overall," said Barnes on Sunday. "I was competitive with Johnny, plus he had a crash, and I was close to him, so that helped. Then today, it got a little bit drier, and I kind of struggled a little bit and didn't make it easy on myself. I had a bad last cross test trying to be more patient, which cost me on the 250. You just got to ride it more aggres - sively. On the last enduro test, I got caught a little stump and got tangled up in some trees, but I was able to hold on to second overall for the weekend, so that was good." DeLong was more consistent on Sunday, finishing second. "Today was really good," said De - Long. I fell in the second enduro test and probably lost 10 sec- onds. That really set me back, because I was second behind Johnny, and that fall dropped me back to third. I had a good cross test, and I won the first enduro test today, so I feel I've been making good improvements the last few weeks." Riordan was fourth again, ahead of Husqvarna-backed Jason Tino. "The weekend went well," Riordan said on Sunday. "I managed to win the Pro 2 yes - terday by about 25 seconds and got fourth overall," said Riordan. "Today, I just maintained. I was up by just a second, so I knew I had to pull something out, and I was able to get Tino by a few seconds, so I won both days and the overall." VOLUME ISSUE JUNE , P41 Angus Riordan was flying on his 250cc. The KTM rider took the Pro 2-class win and fourth overall.
