day," Russell said. "The track
was rougher and a light rain this
morning made the conditions
good. I felt good from the start
of the race all the way through
the end. Daniel [Milner] put up a
good fight but I was pumped to
come away with the win."
"I think myself and Kailub
were fractions of a second apart
of most tests, which was awe-
some," Milner said. "Kailub end-
ed up winning by six seconds on
Sunday, but I'm stoked with how
things went. The track layout was
unreal."
Rockstar Energy Husqvarna's
Josh Strang rounded out the
podium with a third-place finish,
nearly a minute and a half be-
hind Milner. In only his second
race aboard his new FMF Husky,
Strang rode consistently through-
out the weekend to join his Aus-
sie countryman on the podium.
Milner's N-Fab/AmPro Ya-
maha teammate Jordan Ashburn
finished fourth ahead of Honda-
mounted Layne Michael. Both
riders were advanced a position
when Ryan Sipes, who had been
running fourth after day one, was
forced to leave the event and
head home to assist his fam-
ily who were left without heat or
electricity in a severe ice storm.
Tegan Temple ended up sixth
on the day—the young privateer
may have missed out on the top-
five by only a mere second, but
he can still boast that he finished
ahead of factory riders Grant
Baylor, Russell Bobbitt, Andrew
DeLong and Ricky Russell, who
rounded out the top 10, respec-
tively.

off with a win in the Kenda Full Gas
Sprint Enduro Series, though it
looks like he's in for a season-long
battle to defend his championship.

of six tests on Saturday, but had to
settle for second on the weekend.
