WIND
IN THE
P50
Ryan Piper completed the Pro2
podium after a consistent ride
that saw him running near the
top 10 overall early in the event
before settling into a podium
position.
In the Pro Women's division,
Rockstar Energy Husqvarna's
Korie Steede remained unde-
feated in ANEC competition this
season. Steede swept all seven
tests and overcame a dramatic
incident in test five that saw her
become trapped between trees
after crashing on a hillclimb.
"There was a five-person
bottleneck on the hill," Steede
said. "It took four people to get
my bike unstuck."
Despite the setback, Steede
regrouped and continued her
dominant season with another
class victory.
Taylor Johnston finished sec-
ond in the Pro Women's division
after battling the increasingly
slick conditions throughout the
afternoon.
"I feel like I needed studded
tires out there to get any traction,"
Johnston joked after the race.
The Helmet House Little Raccoon
National Enduro proved to be one
of the most challenging rounds
of the season, rewarding riders
who could balance speed and
patience across nearly 100 miles
of racing. As the championship
enters its second half, both the
Pro1 and Pro2 title fights remain
firmly in the spotlight heading
into the next round.
