250 XC-F, as he got around Smail before the white flag with Olivei- ra third overall on adjusted time at that point. With Smail having a late crash, he had to settle for third overall on his Let's Ride/ Canyon Excavation/FXR KX250. For Thomaselli and his 707 Suspension/Motorex/Fly Rac - ing FC 250, nerves weren't a major factor going into the race. He said, "I was confident in my riding. I was more nervous with stuff happening to the bike, something mechanical, like a freak thing happening. I just tried to play it cool and play it like a normal race and do everything the same that I've been doing all year because it's been working!" Behind all those 250s, Liqui Moly Beta's Zane Roberts used the tight, woodsy finale to get some race miles on his FMF/ Bridgestone/Klim 300 RR that's like the one he'll be riding at the Six Days in Italy at the end of Au - gust. It was quite a switch from the 480 RR, which has been his normal mount for some years now. Roberts clipped a lapper who fell in front of him, clean- ing off the entire shift lever on the Beta, leaving it stuck in third gear. Pro 250 holeshot winner Cole Zeller claimed fifth in class and seventh overall on his Gain - slinger Human Performance/ Lake Elsinore Casino FC 250, followed by Lane Lorenzo, who wrapped up a perfect season in 250cc A by using a GasGas 125 instead of his usual 707 Suspen - sion/Motorex/Seven EX 250F. Next year, he'll move into the Pro ranks. Fellow 250cc A riders JJ Con - cannon and Ruhne Lee rounded out the top 10 overall. Pro Vet 35+ saw Washington residents fill the podium, with Eric Forsberg the fastest at 11th overall, followed by John Beal and Danny Brocker. The morning race found three- time Pro Women champ Ava Silvestri unable to resist racing one more time before summer break. As she'd done at three previous rounds, she and her 395 Motorsports/Dunlop/Troy Lee Designs GasGas EX 250F led from start to finish. Ashlee Gage, riding for Let's Ride/Canyon Excavation/FXR, overtook Rachel Stout on the final lap to secure second place in the 90-minute morning race. However, third was more than enough for Stout to lock up the class championship for FMF/ RPM Racing KTM. Mark Kariya OVERALL (Top 10) 1. Jaden Dahners (KTM) 2:34:18 2. Mateo Oliveira (KTM) 2:34:58 3. Layton Smail (Kaw) 2:35:18 4. Ryder Thomaselli (Hus) 2:39:45 5. Colton Aeck (Kaw) 2:39:46 6. Zane Roberts (Bet) 2:43:57 7. Cole Zeller (Hus) 2:47:06 8. Lane Lorenzo (GG) 2:48:15 9. JJ Concannon (KTM) 2:50:26 10. Rune Lee (Hon) 2:51:54 WIND IN THE P38 Third place was enough to give Rachel Stout the Pro Women's crown, adding to her Hare & Hound championships.
