"I'm feeling good; I'm happy
to be on the podium after last
weekend," said Cannon. "I'm bat-
tling with a broken finger, so I'm
not 100
percent; I'm just trying to
salvage as many points as I can
for this championship. But I'll
just go back and rest. I haven't
been riding during the weeks just
so I can get my finger to heal a
bit. I'm looking forward to the
next round in Thunder Valley, so
hopefully it'll be a good one and I
can get back on top."
Monster Energy Kawasaki
Team Green's Kyleigh Stallings
grabbed the holeshot to start
moto one of the first WMX race.
However, she couldn't hold off
Turner's strong charge. Once Turn
-
er found the lead, she never sur-
rendered and went on to secure
a solid
victory. Stallings dropped
back a few places to finish fourth,
while Cannon and Nielsen took
second and third, respectively.
"My first moto started well,"
said Stallings. "I got the hole
-
shot, and I think Lala [Turner] got
around
me first, then I honestly
just faded back to fourth. I just
stayed there the whole moto.
"In the second moto, I got the
holeshot again and just kind of
settled into that fourth spot."
Passion Racing MX KTM's
Jamie Astudillo finished fifth
overall with scores of 5-5.
"In the first moto, I got a decent
start. I think I was in third out of
the first corner, and it was just a
struggle with my first two laps,
so I kind of lost the group," said
Astudillo. "Then it was a little bit
cat and mouse with Stallings the
rest of the moto. I got a better
start in the second moto, but I got
caught up with Charli Cannon.
She stalled the bike in a corner,
and I got stuck behind her, so I
lost the group again."
Husqvarna rider Lilly-Ann Pet
-
tus finished with a score of 7-7,
securing
sixth overall, followed
by Kawasaki's Sophie Phelps in
seventh with a score of 6-8, and
Husqvarna-mounted Haileigh
Williams in eighth with a score
of 8-10.
Former WMX titleholder, ROTE
Racing Yamaha's Jordan Jarvis,
survived what could have been
a major mishap and managed
a 15-6 for ninth overall. On the
opening lap of the first moto,
there was a crash, and Jarvis
was forced to double an uphill
triple and was landed on when a
rider tripled behind her. She was
pretty scraped up but managed
to return for the second moto.
"Unfortunately, in moto one, on
the first lap, I got landed on," Jar
-
vis said. "I got banged up. I've got
two big hematomas
on my back,
but my chin and my clutch finger
are black and blue and swollen,
although I don't think anything
is broken," said Jarvis. "In the sec
-
ond moto, I was probably about
eighth
or something off the line
and moved up to sixth."
Honda's Jaylie Gallacher
rounded out the top 10 with a
10-11.
