lost more, but at this point, it's
an all-out war anyway."
Chance Hymas had a quiet
day on track but clocked a third
consecutive overall podium fin-
ish. The Honda HRC Progressive
rider has come into his own in
the second half of the season,
running near the front in both
motos. A small tipover in moto
one dropped him off the box,
but a consistent second behind
Davies in race two padded his
overall score. A string of recent
podiums puts Hymas in a battle
for fourth in the championship
"I'm riding great, and that's
good. I'm glad I didn't crash, be
-
cause that was sketchy. I don't
know what the points are, but
I know it's close. I'm bummed
on that pass on the last lap too.
I saw several blue flags waved
at that rider and was confused
because I thought he was a
lapper, and it wasn't until the
last turn I realized he wasn't a
lapper because he was racing
me hard. I was able to salvage
second, which was great, but
I wish I could have made up
some points. Unfortunately, I
nately locked bars and went to
the other side of the track."
Kitchen put in another hard-
fought effort and passed up
to fifth by the final lap. He got
caught off guard in the final turn
when New Zealand transplant
Brodie Connolly dropped the
sneak-attack pass and moved
Kitchen one spot (and one point)
back in the running order. A 1-6
scorecard still put him second
on the day and put him one point
up in the championship race.
"It's been tough, but I'm trying
to stay positive," Kitchen said.
