the finish and see what happens.
I took some sendier lines and
they worked out, and I caught
back up to him at the end, which
was big for me. Usually, he pulls
on me at the end and that's
where he can get me. I was able
to reel him back in, which I'm
pretty stoked on. Good on him
for staying calm the last lap; I
felt like I was panicking, and I'm
sure he was panicking."
"The course was shorter, but
honestly, it didn't feel that short,"
said Riordan. "Although in say
-
ing that, I think we did it quicker
than we thought because it was
a bit drier. We ended up going
four laps. It was definitely not as
slippery as it could've been, but I
was struggling for traction a bit.
The rocks were slippery, and the
track got slipperier and slipperier
as people carried water around
it. I got third, which was good,
but the top two boys worked me.
I had one incident a lap [which
slowed me down]. The last lap, I
fell down a big rock. I also had a
few little mechanical issues. My
throttle kept getting stuck on, my
bars rolled back, it was running
hot, just little stuff."
Tyler Labell, Geiner Cordero
and Brock Harris were the top
Amateur racers of the weekend,
each completing three laps.
The next USHE Premier Cham
