Webb's electric start on his Rocky
Mountain Yamaha YZ250X break-
ing in the thick of the mountains.
This opened up the door to the
top 10, which ultimately was
split evenly between Hawai
-
ians and mainlanders. Huddy's
KRD Hui teammates, Kamakana
Waiwaiole-Kahalepuna and Ryder
Guest, were also setting a fast
pace, passing LeBlond and nearly
passing Hart at one point.
Huddy had a very fast pace
and didn't make many mistakes,
finishing the race in first place
in two hours and 22 minutes, 11
minutes ahead of Hart, who also
rode smoothly but just couldn't
match Huddy's pace.
Waiwaiole-Kahalepuna ended
up in third place, matching his re
-
sult from last year. Guest finished
in fourth, and LeBlond in fifth.
In the Pro Women's class,
Pebs Madalora won her race on
a different course in just under
three hours, with Katie Hall-Leah
and Mele Huddy rounding out the
podium.
Huddy is only the third person
to beat Trystan Hart in the past
four years on American soil,
sharing that honor with Cody
Webb and Manuel Lettenbichler.
The next USHE Premier Cham
-
pionship race will be the Grind-
ing Stone Hard Enduro in Page,
Arizona, on March 22-23.
