slowly worked his way towards
the front and put himself in the
battle for a podium position.
Mosiman eventually found him-
self in the mix with Hymas and
McAdoo and benefited
the most
from Hymas' costly mistake.
This bumped Mosiman to third
as he continued to pressure
McAdoo for the second spot.
The two finished less than a

for McAdoo after finishing 22nd
last weekend at the season

and to not show it at round one
hurt," Deegan said. "I came out
swinging this weekend, and it
went well."
Cameron McAdoo held on for
second in the 250 main event,
his first SMX podium in nearly
a year. The Monster Energy/Pro
Circuit/Kawasaki Team rider
found himself under fire for the
entire race, first from Honda's
Chance Hymas and later from
Monster Energy Star Racing
Yamaha's Michael Mosiman.
McAdoo held tough, though,
as he fought off attacks from
both riders and proved to be the
second-best racer on the night.
