best, he also made up ground
quickly—something he credited
to stiffening the suspension on
his AEO Powersports/Precision
Concepts/Moose Racing 250
XC-F, allowing him to really at

tack in the early going.
"It's only 90 minutes—you
know what I mean? I feel like you
can get away with a little stiffer
setting," he said. "[But] like I said
[on the podium], the last 30 min

utes kind of caught up with me."
By then, however, he'd built a
comfortable enough lead over
the rest of the Pro IIs that he
could afford to back off the pace
a little. His total time of an hour,
41 minutes and 39 seconds
was just eight seconds faster
than Mateo Oliveira's time, with
Redondi six seconds behind the
younger Oliveira for sixth overall.
Dante Oliveira's third win of
the season padded his points
lead over Lynn, 108-90. Mateo
sits third at 85 followed closely
by DeMartile at 83 and Redondi
on 73.
Pro II riders Sam Pretscherer
and Cole Zeller were next in
the overall picture. 3Bros/
Hatch Racing/Troy Lee Designs
Husqvarna's Pretscherer had
a decent start, but it took him
almost an hour to move past the
others and into the class runner-
up spot. Zeller, on the other
hand, found his way toward the
front quicker, and consistently
ran second or third all afternoon
