VOL. 52 ISSUE 8 FEBRUARY 24, 2015 P29 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. Jean Turner (Left) KTM's Kailub Russell started 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. (Below) N-Fab AmPro Yamaha's Daniel Milner dominated five out of six tests on Saturday, but had to settle for second on the weekend.
