came on strong later in the week,
and aided by his moto win, finished third overall in the E3 division.
Needless to say, Kallonen was
happy with both the team and individual accomplishments.
"It was a great effort by the
whole team and I am very proud
of all of them," said Kallonen.
"Today was a very good day and
we knew coming into the final day
that we have a good team to do
well in the motocross tests, and
out of the three motos we won
two of them. So we are a solid
second place and every one
contributed. We have come a
long way and we have one more
step to go."
Individually, Antoine Meo was
this year's overall winner and top
performer in the E3 class riding
a 300 KTM, however, Australian
Daniel Milner gave the Frenchman a run for his money, winning
the first two days outright.
Top spot in the E2 class went
to Milner, while Christobal Guerrero won the E1 division.
Caselli was one of the driving
forces behind this year's effort
and, like Kallonen, Caselli was
proud of the team effort.
"This is my 11th Six Days and
it's good to get this reward," said
Caselli. "I've been pushing for a
long time for us to be up on the
podium and last year we showed
progress. I think we're going in
the right direction and I think with
a little more work and a little fine
tuning I think we can be up front."
The U.S. Junior Squad, led by
Russell, started the week in third
position, but dropped to fourth on
day two. Russell finished out the
week in 13th overall in the final
P39
E2 standings, and may well have
been top 10 had he not received
a two-minute penalty for entering
a check early.
Russell had his best day on day
one, finishing 10th in the class.
Groemm was 17th in the E2
division on day one and finished
the week in 25th overall, while
Baylor had his best finish on day
three with a 26th in E2 and finished 35th in the final standings.
DeLong rode the E1 class and finished out the week in 12th overall
in the class.
After six days of racing, the US
Junior squad finished eight minutes and nine seconds behind
the Brits.
In the Club Team Award division, Team Wellard from the
United States, consisting of Radiant AirGroup Racing's Nick
Farhinger, Rockstar Racing Suzuki's Ryan Sipes, and Kawasakimounted Jimmy Jarrett, finished
second behind Team Treviglio
from Italy.
Go Fasters' Ian Blythe, Alex
Dorsey and Justin Sode were
fourth in the Club class, missing the podium by three seconds
and 26 seconds.
In the Women's Trophy class,
the U.S. squad had a good showing in the final motocross tests,
with Rachel Gutish taking 10th,
Brooke Hodges 13th and Mandi
Mastin 14th.
Overall, the U.S. Women finished Six Days in sixth, with
Team Australia taking first ahead
of Sweden and France.
