Stefanie Verkade has been unable to break inside the top 5 this season, but it is not for lack of trying. The womens class has really stepped it up this year and it is not just a 2 rider class anymore as the top 5 riders are capable of taking the win at any round.

The Utility classes are also ultra competitive these days, with factory backing and efforts to drive sales based off wins, the pressure is on at each round.
