battle for Sunday's win. This time, Pichon struck first, win- ning the first test in the rain just ahead of Garcia. After the first lap of tests, however, Garcia bounced back and overtook Pichon for the overall lead. The duo continued to battle it out until the penultimate test, an En - duro test, of the day, with Garcia leading by just six seconds over Pichon. Here, Pichon fell and lost 20-plus seconds to Garcia, which all but sealed the win for Garcia with just one test left. Pichon ended up winning the final test, but it wasn't enough to dethrone Garcia. Afterward, Garcia said, "I made some changes this morn - ing with the rear mousse to anticipate the mud, but it wasn't the correct direction to go, so we made some changes again, and I was able to push harder. The battle with Zach was great; we were pretty close all day. To start out the second part of the season with two wins is fan - tastic, but there are still many rounds to go." "I'm a bit disappointed with my crash in the final Enduro test, but I had the speed today across all the special tests. This result moves me up to second overall in the championship, too, so I'm happy with this weekend, and I'm motivated for the next one in Portugal." Bernardini, Persson and KTM rider Max Ahlin spent the day fighting over the final podium spot. Bernardini ended up edging Persson out for the spot, with Ahlin rounding out the top five. In the Women's category, American Rachel Gutish had a strong showing, as she battled her Rieju Factory teammate Rosie Rowett of Great Britain for the win both days. Unfortunately for Gutish, she came up just short both days, by four seconds on Saturday and 26 seconds on Sunday. Gutish had the class lead going into the final test on Saturday but was edged out by Rowett in the test and overall. It was Rowett's first career win. "I had a great lead heading into the final lap but then made mis - takes on the Extreme test and En- duro test and lost my advantage," Rowett said. "Entering the final test, I knew I was riding fast there and just gave it everything I had. I am super happy with the win." After four of seven rounds, Garcia leads the championship points over Pichon, 149-125. Verona is third, just five points behind Pichon. Sherco's Hamish MacDonald is fourth (90) and Persson is fifth (81). In the Women's division, Ital - ian Francesca Nocera (Honda) leads Gutish by two points. Rowett is just four points back in third.
