ing's Craig DeLong in fourth and FMF KTM Factory Racing Team Landers' rising star Grant Davis coming in with fifth. On Sunday, Girroir was on form from the start, easily win - ning the first five of six tests while Barnes and Draper fought it out, with Barnes taking second for the day and second overall for the weekend. Barnes went into the final en - duro test with a two-second lead over Draper and wound up turning in the fastest enduro-test time of the weekend to grab second for the day and second overall. In the overall results, Girroir went home with first place, followed by Barnes and Draper. DeLong was fourth with FMF KTM Factory Racing Team Land - ers' rising star Grant Davis in fifth. Davis was also the top Pro 2 rider, with Husqvarna-mounted Toby Cleveland sixth overall and second in the Pro 2 class. FMF KTM Factory Racing Team Land - ers' Cooper Jones was seventh overall and third in the Pro 2 class. "My weekend was good, then bad, then good again, and then it just kept going around like that," said Davis. "I couldn't stay off the ground and had some bike issues with my fuel pump, but other than that, at the end of the weekend I started putting in some good times." "It was a good weekend," said Barnes. "There was some tight racing with Liam and Johnny all week. On day one, I had some struggles in the enduro test but was able to turn that around to - day [Sunday], so I'm happy about the weekend. I actually had a problem with my rear brakes in that last test, but I managed to get through it." Phoenix Honda Racing's JoJo Cunningham finished first in the Pro-Am class and eighth overall. Meanwhile, Husqvarna-mounted Gavin Simon (fourth Pro 2) and Coastal Racing GasGas' Lane Whitmer (second Pro-Am) rounded out the top 10 overall. "The tracks actually got way rougher than what I thought they would," said Cunningham. "I think I only had one spill, and of course, it was in the last cross test when I was trying to make up time. Other than that, it was a good weekend." In the Pro Women's division, Phoenix Honda Racing's Tayla Jones took the win by over a minute ahead of Rieju USA's Rachel Gutish and Rockstar En - ergy Husqvarna Factory Racing's Korie Steede. "I'm super pumped to be back in the middle of the podium," said Jones. "Unfortunately, Korie had a big crash, and that made the weekend a little bit less tight, but honestly, I had a great weekend. The tracks were gnarly out there, and towards the end, it got super rough. It was wild, but these girls were ripping the whole time." The top Amateur award went to Olin Daniels (Kawasaki) with an impressive 12th overall. CN Shan Moore OVERALL (Top 10) 1. Johnny Girroir (KTM) 2. Cody Barnes (Hon) 3. Liam Draper (Yam) 4.
