much of a difference. I actually kind of liked them, because it was a more consistent drift than in the enduro test," said Richards. "I sheared my footpeg off in the first enduro on Sunday and just lost a minute there. So after that, I was just kind of being consis - tent, making up time. The enduro test is a perfect Six Days [ISDE] test because it's super silty and you kind of have a couple lines, but it's not super tight or super slow. It's like a good mix of every - thing, and same with the cross test with all the off cambers and some high-speed stuff, but also a little bit of tight stuff too." Like DeLong on Saturday, Dante Oliveira's day was equally bad after his engine quit when he landed from a jump during the second cross test, knocking him out of the hunt. Up front, Toth was a man on a mission, winning three of the enduro tests and moving into sec - ond ahead of Barnes for the day and overall. Top Pro 2 finisher Jus- tin Tino (Husqvarna) was fourth on the day and fourth overall. The final day, Girroir was on point once again, winning three cross tests and two enduro tests to claim the overall win for the weekend. "I made a couple mistakes today, but it got really loose and dusty out there," said Girroir. "I was fighting Josh [Toth], he was crushing the enduro test. Actual - ly, I wasn't fighting much but I got him that last test. Other than that, he handed it to me in the enduro test today. But I was feeling good out in the field laying it down out there, so it was a good day. Toth used his National Enduro experience to finish second overall. "Today was much better than the rest of the weekend," said Toth. "It's been steady progress, getting better and getting closer to the top and now grabbing a few test wins, most of them today, just missing out on the last one. I'm stoked about the progress on the new bike chassis, and I want more practice on it before Spain." Barnes ran second for Satur - day and Sunday, but a few mis- haps, including a crash in one of the enduro tests, dropped him to third overall. "I'm happy to be competitive with those boys in the cross tests and even in the enduro test," said Barnes. "Josh was fast in the enduro today, and I just couldn't hold him off. I was pushing the limits, then I had one small crash at the end of the day, and that re - ally sealed the deal for a second overall, so hats off to him, hats off to Johnny. It was a good weekend, and I'm just happy to be in the mix." Pro 2 winner and fourth over - all, Tino, was impressive, turning lap times equal to some of the Pro 1 riders. "I was having a lot of fun out there and was able to keep it on two wheels the second and third day, so no problem today," said Tino. "I had like four or five on day one, but it's because I was a little anxious, but I backed her down and kept her on two and stayed consistent, and that's what we're looking for." The Pro Women's class stayed pretty much the same all weekend, with Richards winning, Steede in second and Gutish in third. Shan Moore OVERALL (Top 10) 1. Johnny Girroir (KTM) 2. Josh Toth (KTM) 3.
