warning, his bike sputtered
just before a jump, forcing
Wilson to coast the section
and allowing Anderson to
jump into the lead for the
win.
Anderson was as surprised as anyone.
"I was in shock when
I saw he didn't jump that
jump," said Anderson. "I
actually wondered if he
was a lapper because he
was going so slow. I didn't
know what was going on,
for sure. Like I said, you
have to be in the right place
at the right time.
After getting docked two
points last week for jumping
on a red cross flag, Anderson retook the 250 points
lead with his latest win.
"I can't believe I keep

riders. In frustration, Stewart gave
the rookie a slight shove while they
were getting back on their bikes.
Webb, later on, took full blame for
the move. The incident damaged
Stewart's rear-brake lever, putting
him in 16th at the finish; Webb ended
up ninth.
