I always tell my son that everyone races the same track, but not the same lines and sometimes a few less poundings here and there can add up to a faster lap time

With the white flag out, I awaited McGills arrival. He did not disappoint as I wtached him work his way through lappers as he got closer Cody hollared over at how smooth he was riding. Indeed he was, smooth, smart and to be honest he almost looked slow! He was just so fluid and making no mistakes, but when he came to a lapper you could see just how fast the man was riding.
Bill Ballance had run a great race, holding the number two spot to the checkered flag.
Yokely had the 3rd spot but couldnt let up, there were a few more miles to go!
Matt Smiley was running hard, but couldn't close the gap to challenge Yokely for the podium. Matt finished in 4th, an excellent race for Matt!!
Brandon Sommers was right there at the end, sealing the 5th spot for another great ride. Sommers will be consistant, and he is fast, now all he needs is just the right situation and we will see him with a win!
Borich trailed Sommers by mere seconds taking the 6th spot. It will all come together for Chris, and I know his approach to the season is different from years past so I am not concerned.
By the end of the race, machines were showing signs of the carnage during the two hours of racing
For Brent Sturdivant, the start to this season has to be frustrating. He knows he can run with anyone, and he believes in his team and his machine, however the learning curve with the new model has to be dealt with. Time will tell, but I am certain that it will all come together for him and others battling the same issues.
For XC2 rider Tyler Lenig, a mechanical issue had him concerned but he ended up running just fine. He finished 3rd in XC2.
