in deep ruts too many times
to count. However, the Aus-
sie never gave up, finishing 28
seconds ahead of FMF KTM
Factory Racing's Ben Kelley, still
not knowing his position until he
was told after the race.
"It was a bit of a tough one,"
said Riordan. "I got stuck too
many times. Even some of the
local boys from where I'm from
pulled me out of some ruts. I
was really stuck, but that was
aside from the back and forth of
my way forward."
Kelley was the winner of the
XC1 class in fourth overall,
even though Flatrock Motorclub
GasGas Factory Racing's Jordan
Ashburn, FMF KTM Factory
Racing's Johnny Girroir, and
Husqvarna's Lyndon Snodgrass
each took turns leading the race
Australia's Angus
Riordan filled out the
overall podium.
