"I am hoping next week is
more difficult—I tend to excel
in the technical stuff—so the
harder the better."
The Pro Women were wheel-
to-wheel through loop one after
defending champion Rachel
Stout (RPM KTM Racing) and
Ava Silvestri (395 Motorsports
GasGas) both got a jump on the
start, riding a clean lap into the
pit before things took a turn in
loop two.
"I felt like I was riding so
good; I was having so much fun
out there," Stout said. "But then
I clipped a rock in one of the
washes and sent my bike under
a tree. So, it was backwards
under the tree when Ava came
by. I was still trying to get it out.
I hoped she would stop and help
me get it out, but I guess she
had other priorities [laughs]. It
was everything I had to catch
back up to her, but I wasn't able
to get back around her. But I felt
like my riding was good, so I
am not too disappointed with a
second-place finish today."
"It was a pretty flowy course,
and I felt like it went by very
fast," Silvestri said. "I kept
crashing in the dust, just making
stupid mistakes and catching
up again before crashing again,
which was pretty frustrating. I
feel like I have the speed; I just
need to stay off the ground. So,
