exactly what we had to do," Prado
said. "I was convinced we were
on the right path with my deci-
sions and today proved it. This
was my best
performance of the
year, and now we're headed in the
right direction. Hopefully a win
will come soon."
Deegan took home third on
the day, his fourth consecutive
podium finish. The 450 rookie led
the opening lap of moto one and
looked to be in the fight for the
win. Eventual contact with Jett,
followed by a lack of flow, saw
Deegan drop off the pace early on
before eventually finishing fourth.
He ran fourth again in race two
but gained a spot once Hunter
crashed out. Take it how you can

3 ELI TOMAC
11TH (7-14) 450MX
Eli Tomac had another disappoint-
ing day, just missing a top 10 overall,
going 7-14 for 11th overall. However,
he thought there were some positives.
"We made some small improvements
from the previous race in Washougal.
I got a good start in moto one and
was around the top five for maybe half
of that race. I lost a couple positions
late, but overall, I was happy with the
improvements. And then in moto two, I
was buried off the start, and we had to
make our way forward from there. So,
small improvements this week, and I
think we'll keep getting better."
35 DREW ADAMS
7TH (7-9) 250MX
Drew Adams nearly matched his
season-best result of sixth but took
seventh overall thanks to top 10
moto finishes. "This weekend was an
improvement for me," Adams said.
"Qualifying was great. I qualified
third overall. In the first session of
qualifying, it was so foggy you could
barely see the track. First moto, I had
a pretty good start and made two
passes for seventh. Second moto,
I had a bad start and had a couple
of sketchy moments but ended up
getting ninth for seventh overall. It's
