cruise to the finish line, salvag-
ing valuable championship
points while still managing a
fourth-place finish.
Meanwhile, Lynn's teammate,
Ryan Surratt, who is still recover-
ing from knee surgery, fought
through the pack and found him-
self in podium contention after
Redondi's issues. He secured
third place, one spot better than
his fourth-place finish at round
one in Blythe the prior week.
Mason Semmens delivered a
masterclass performance in the
Pro 250 class, leading from start
to finish with no one in sight for
nearly two hours. He pushed
his RPM FMF KTM to the max,
crossing the finish line with a
commanding lead of just under
a minute, while also securing
third overall in the Pro ranks.
Though the course was fast,
deep silt pockets in the off-road
sections posed a challenge,
but the riders navigated them
seamlessly as they battled for
position. The fiercest fights of
the day unfolded behind Sem
-
mens, where second through
fourth place were separated by
just seconds, with riders con-
stantly swapping positions while
searching for the best lines to
shave off precious time.
Sam Pretscherer, aboard
the 3Bros Racing/Hatch Rac-
ing Husqvarna, found himself
trailing fellow Aussie Semmens
early, but the competition was
relentless. Colton Aeck and Jake
Alvarez charged hard, coming
through the scoring chute just
four seconds apart on the open-
ing lap. On lap two, Aeck put
the power down on his Hatch
Racing Kawasaki, making a pass
on Pretscherer and setting his
sights on Semmens. The trio re-
mained within a few bikelengths
of each other for the next five
laps until Alvarez made a move
on Pretscherer on lap six.
Once ahead, Alvarez un-
leashed the full power of his
Perry Concepts Kawasaki in pur-
suit of Aeck, battling fiercely for
the second step on the podium.
They approached the step-up
jump nearly bar to bar, but Aeck
