North Carolina rider Dustin Canipe moved up from eleventh for a ninth place finish and Jeff Pickens hung on to round out the top ten in the XC1 pro class.

It looked like it would be a good day for the Yamaha/Ballance Racing team as Taylor Kiser and Walker Fowler were running one and two in the first lap, but that was all that would happen after both riders suffered mechanical issues in the second lap and were forced to call it a day. “It was going good for both of us, but we both ended up with issues. I’m looking forward to Kentucky and hopefully things will go our way there and we’ll be on the podium,” stated Walker Fowler.
