forte—you just go out there and
do the best you can. I felt pretty
good; I just need to get better
at the beginning of tight races, I

Pro Circuit Off-Road Kawa-
saki's Dalton Shirey had lots of
ground to make up after being
left on the line at the start, and
he managed to work his way up
to fourth Pro/AA, fifth overall.
Pro 250 riders were next, with
Jaden Dahners of the FMF/RPM
Racing KTM squad sixth overall
and defending class champ
Ryder Thomaselli seventh. The
Husqvarna support rider, Thoma

chel Stout, the FMF/RPM Racing
KTM rider 1:45 ahead of Let's
Ride/Canyon Excavation KX250
rider Ashlee Gage.
"I'd say maybe the first two
laps I tried to set the pace for
everyone else and see how
they responded," Silvestri said.
"After that, I just more and more
tried to build a gap every lap. I
wouldn't say I was cruising, but I
definitely had more in the tank if
I needed to."
