VOLUME ISSUE NOVEMBER , P75
The Pro 250 Championship was
already locked up by Mason
Semmens, but new champions
were crowned across multiple
classes, including Pro 450, Pro-
Am, Pro 125 and Women's Pro.
In Pro 450, making his much-
anticipated debut, Mason
Semmens (FMF RPM KTM)
quickly proved he belongs in the
premier class. From the dead-
engine start, Semmens launched
out front to earn the holeshot,
leading the pack into the des
-
ert section before entering the
Pro section. However, it was
Dare DeMartile (Liqui Moly Beta
USA) who chose the perfect
line through the hills and rocky
terrain, charging from midpack
to take control of the race early.
Behind him, KTM Factory Rac
-
ing's Mateo Oliveira held second,
while SLR Honda's Tyler Lynn
and Semmens both experienced
minor issues in the opening
lap but quickly remounted and
charged back toward the front.
As the race settled in, lap
times stayed consistent around
the 11-minute mark, with Lynn
setting the fastest lap of the
race at 10:39 during lap nine.
Earlier, on lap seven, DeMartile
had a small mistake that al
-
lowed a hard-charging Lynn
and Semmens to move into
first and second, respectively,
while Oliveira maintained fourth.
