VOL. 54 ISSUE 22 JUNE 6, 2017 P37
The women lined up for the
second moto and Fasnacht was,
once again, first to cross the
holeshot line. This time Tricker
had a much better start and
soon took over second place,
holding that spot and keeping
Fasnacht honest. On lap five,
Fasnacht went down in a cor-
ner and couldn't get her bike
started—Tricker was then in
the lead. "I made some quick
passes and worked my way into
second, then rode a fast pace
to keep the pressure on Kylie,"
said Tricker. "Then she made a
mistake and I was able to capital-
ize on it."
Rolen, who had been battling
Brodeur and Peters for the third
spot, now found herself in sec-
ond after Fasnacht went down,
but it wasn't easy for her to get
there. "I was just trying to ride
my race and not make mistakes,
but I missed my line in a corner
and Eve got around me. I wasn't
going to settle for being off the
podium so I started my charge
when she had a little tip over and
made my life way easier," Rolen
said. "A few laps later I see Kylie
trying to start her bike, and
somehow in all the craziness I
was back in second. I started
playing it a little too safe and
almost let Eve catch me on the
last lap, but I'm happy with the
pair of second-place finishes."
Third, fourth and fifth became
a slugfest involving Brodeur, Pe-
ters and Marissa Pollencheck,
all three were putting on a great
show for the crowd. "I started in
about fifth but quickly made my
way up to third," Brodeur said.
"Once again, I made a mistake
and tipped over in a corner,
getting back up in sixth. I had
some good battles with Marissa
and Samantha while making my
way back to fourth. We went by
Kylie when she made a mistake
so I finished moto two in third—I'll
take it!"
Fasnacht eventually got her
bike started and put on a charge
to finish fourth. CN
