minute. Aside from the second
test, in which he was the runner-
up, he captured class wins in all
other sections.
FMF KTM Factory Racing's
Angus Riordan captured second
place in his class. The Australian
recorded finishes of 3-1-2 in NE
Pro2 to kick off the day aboard
his KTM 250 XC-F. In the fourth
section, he finished fourth and
then moved up to second in the
following test. He placed third in
the final test.
Chase Landers, backed by Land-
ers KTM Amateur Racing, powered
through the six tests to earn the
last step of the podium. He went
2-3-4-2 before ending the day with
a fifth and seventh in class.
Another Red Bear Racing Kawa-
saki teammate secured a premier
class win. Rachael Archer, the
reigning Women's Elite Champion,
finished over three minutes ahead
of her closest competitor. She
stated that she particularly en-
joyed tests four and five, describ-
ing them as "fun and flowy."
Round-one winner Rachel
Gutish secured second place on
her Rieju, despite possibly break-
ing her finger in test two and
pushing through the pain for the
rest of the day. She was in third
place after the first three tests
before finishing second in the
last three tests of the day.
Although Enduro Engineer
-
ing's Shelby Turner clinched the
opening test victory aboard her
GasGas, she encountered stiff
competition throughout the day
that made it difficult to secure
any additional test wins. With
results of 2-2-3-3-3 for the rest
of the day, she still managed to
finish on the podium.
Lane Whitmer, who captured
the AA class win and seized 17th
overall at round one, backed it up
with another AA class win and
12th overall this weekend. The
GasGas rider took first in class
through all six sections.
Tennessee's Brayden Baisley
collected the 250A class win
and placed 15th overall. The
Husqvarna rider won all but one
test throughout the day.
