VOL. 53 ISSUE 12 MARCH 29, 2016 P95
In Pro 2 Lites, RPM/KTM's
Dante Oliveria won his fourth
consecutive race. Austin Serpa
and Clayton Hengeveld rounded
out the podium.
Oliveria nabbed the holeshot
and was never seriously chal-
lenged, but his race was nearly
over before it started.
"Maxxis saved the day,"
said Oliveria. "I noticed I had a
tire Mousse [inner tube] issue
while going to the starting line
and they took my tire off and
changed it."
Serpa challenged Oliveria
but faded late in the tough test.
"I thought I had the holeshot,
but Dante jumped in front of
me," said Serpa. "He put some
time on me. I was slowly getting
some of that time back, but, at
this year to do some training,"
said Gardner. "We came out
and had some fun. Logan was
really holding it down for most of
the race. Unfortunately, he went
down. I just tried to stay consis-
tent."
Mosiman used the race to
help him prepare for the AMA
Pro Motocross Championship
Series, which gets underway in
May. "Eric Yorba brought us out
for some training," said Mosi-
man. "He said it would be gnarly
and he wasn't kidding. The track
was brutal and now it's time to
get ready for Hangtown. This is
good training. It felt really good
to be on the podium. We didn't
know what to expect today. We
just rode smart and smooth.
We'll definitely be back."
