WIND IN THE P54 Baja pre-running, it allowed him to bypass the alternate pits on both loops. "I was able to get past Cody [Simpson] at the first alternate pit," Lynn said. Despite falling on a tricky climb shortly after, he managed to stay ahead of the Simi Valley Cycles Yama - ha rider, who had to stop at the alternates, find his dump can, and pour his own fuel. For Thomaselli and his 395 Motorsports/MX Trophies/Leatt FC 250, second in class and sixth overall was disappointing after leading most of the race, though he remains the Pro 250 points leader after winning the first two rounds. Next across the finish was Can - yon Excavation/Let's Ride/FXR KX250-mounted Layton Smail for his second-consecutive Pro 250 podium, followed by Simpson and his Wonder Electric Co./Gainsling - er Human Performance/O'Neal Racing YZ250. InnTeck Racing/Kenda/Klim Beta-mounted Clayton Gerstner from nearby Emmett jumped into his annual National event to claim fifth Pro and ninth overall, followed by Pearson Brothers Construction Husqvarna rider Otto Pearson, the sixth Pro. Logan Cleveland and his NAB Consulting Husqvarna earned his second-straight win in Pro Vet 35+, runner-up Darrin Tuckett counting himself lucky to even finish after hitting a barbed-wire fence on his GasGas. After an early crash and some position swapping, defending Pro Women champ Ava Silvestri finally grabbed the class lead for good on the second loop to make it three in a row on her 395 Motorsports/Precision Con - cepts/Troy Lee Designs FC 250. "I was able to capitalize on some of the split lines in the little washes over there," Silvestri said. "Luckily, I had a better re - mote pit at the first alternate and was able to get the lead. It was a good day." FMF/RPM Racing KTM's Rachel Stout had the intensity on high off the start, shocking Silvestri with how aggressive she charged through the dust, but as the race wore on, she had to worry more about Johnny Campbell Racing (JCR) Honda's Tarah Gieger who came out of semi-retired status to land on the podium in her first Rabbit Creek National.
