The Women's Pro class expe-
rienced an even more dramatic
increase in scores. Hoover, who
surrendered just 21 marks Satur-
day, finished with 111 Sunday as
conditions deteriorated. Nev-
ertheless, she remained com-
fortably ahead of Forsley, who
finished with 136.
The victory completed
Hoover's perfect season: eight
wins from eight rounds, span-
ning everything from Virginia's
challenging opener to Colorado's
exposed granite and Ohio's slip-
pery hillsides.
Forsley's two runner-up fin-
ishes marked an encouraging
return to national competition,
while Buzzelli's weekend ended
with a Sunday DNF.
The changing conditions
also shuffled the Expert stand-
ings. Beta USA's Cole Cullins
Haga's win gave him his second
victory of the season and brought
the championship full circle, after
he also won the opening round at
Kairos.
Land delivered one of Sunday's
strongest performances, finishing
third with 66 marks, just one behind
Casales. The Sherco rider had
struggled with concentration Satur-
day but found the more challenging
conditions suited his riding.
"The conditions changed dra-
matically. It rained all night and
left us with a very muddy trials,"
Land said. "The sections were a lot
tougher today, which actually made
us take points. It was nice because
we didn't have to worry about tricky
little mistakes happening."
Myers finished fourth with 82
marks, followed by Aaron, Nie-
derer and TrialStoreUSA's Josh
Roper.
Rain arrived Saturday eve-
ning and continued through the
night, soaking the previously dry
soil and stripping traction from
hillsides and rocks. Sections that
had been manageable Saturday
suddenly required careful line
selection, momentum, and a
willingness to commit when the
motorcycle began to slide.
Even the previously straightfor-
ward loop became challenging.
Haga, now facing consider-
ably tougher conditions, returned
determined to finish the cham-
pionship on a high note. The
Norwegian responded with a
commanding Sunday win, scor-
ing 51 marks across three loops
to beat Casales by 14.
Casales finished second with
65 marks, ending his champi-
onship-winning campaign with
six victories from eight rounds.
