James Jenkins completed the top
10 overall.
FMF Red Bull KTM's Kelley said
he struggled with the terrain. "The
trails and terrain were definitely
different from the East Coast rid
-
ing that I'm used to," Kelley said.
"I rode smoothly and pushed as
best I could, but I just didn't have
the speed or get the result that I
was hoping for or had been work
-
ing for."
Tino, eighth overall, was second
in Pro2 with Jenkins (10th overall)
taking third in class.
"It was a long day in the heat
and the dust," Tino said of the
conditions.
In the Pro Women's division,
Rockstar Energy Husqvarna's
Korie Steede won all but one test
to take the class in with room to
spare over Factory Rieju's Rachel
Gutish, with Triumph's Shelby
Turner taking third.
"What a great day we had here
at the second round," said Steede.
"It started with the first test win,
and then from there I was focused
on staying smooth and consistent,
because the conditions here were
super-treacherous. It was hard-
packed, blue groove, and hard to
come to a stop at times."
