for the first tests of the day.
Jordan Ashburn, known for his
mud-riding ability, took the first
enduro test win of the day ahead
of Josh Toth and Layne Michael.
Duvall, who used the first place
starting position to his advantage
on day one, struggled as the first
rider on the test in the mud and
finished fourth, seven seconds
behind Ashburn.
Buttrick struggled on day one
but started to find his rhythm on
day two with a test win in the first
cross test of the day, besting
Michael by two seconds with Du-
vall another four seconds back.
Duvall built his lead to a com-
fortable margin with command-
ing performances in the enduro
test, taking the final two wins on
that test for the weekend.
Michael topped the final
cross test win to put himself in
a solid second-place position.
Toth rebounded from a sixth-
place finish on day one for a
much stronger performance on
day two in the slick conditions,
good enough to clinch the final
podium position on the week-
end, his first-ever Full Gas Sprint
Enduro podium.
Australian Mackenzie Tricker
took her third Women's Pro
class win of the season ahead of
Kendall LaFollette with Brooke
Cosner finishing in third after a
flat tire in the last test dropped
her back. Cosner would, how-
ever, clinch the Women's Pro
Class championship. CN
