in the final main event saw him
clinch the overall win and maxi-
mize the points swing against
Beaumer.
Deegan, who seemed
much calmer this weekend, now
leads by six.
"I just want to win so bad,"
Deegan said. "I went back to
training with the team and with
Swannie [Gareth Swanepoel]
and just getting that intensity
back. I feel like riding by myself,
I lost a little bit of that. Just had
to get back with those guys and
battling it out and having those
little rivalries during the week."
Coty Schock scored a career-
best finish and a first-ever
podium in second. The FXR/
Club MX Yamaha rider has
been on an upward trajectory all
season and, once again, started
up front in all three mains.
Schock battled for the win in the
first main and scored a second
and a fourth in the opening two
races. A hard-fought race three
saw Schock's worst finish of the
night in sixth. He still managed
to hold off Michael Mosiman at
the line, earning second overall,
one spot better than Mosiman.
Had Mosiman made the pass,
Schock would've dropped to
fourth on the night.
"We put in the work, and it's
cool to finally put it up on the
box for these guys," Schock
said. "I'm not going to say I
was a nobody growing up, but I
wasn't that guy, and I am now.
It's surreal, and, yeah, we did it."
Mosiman returned to the
podium in third overall. The Star
Racing Yamaha rider had the
speed all night and led nearly
all of the second main event. A
final-lap battle between Mosi
-
man and Deegan saw the two
teammates make contact
late in
the race. The pass dropped Mo-
siman to second, which proved
to
be his best result of the night.
A seventh in race three was
good enough to keep him on
the overall podium, making it a
Yamaha sweep. This result also
marked Mosiman's first podium
since Denver 2022.
"I've been through some
hard stuff, some gnarly injuries
where it's, like, 'Can you come
back from this? I'm not sure,' "
Mosiman said. "It's been a lot
of work, and it's exciting to see
