Can-Am / JB Racing’s Tim Farr has had his share of bad luck this season, but he was able to make a solid comeback for this round and claimed the final spot on the XC1 podium. Farr started on the third row and soon caught up to the second row and kept moving forward. “I was on the third row and third going into the woods. From there I started working forward and caught up to the second row. There were a lot of lappers, but I still moved forward and was able to finish on the podium. We didn’t have any issues, and we were able to keep it between the trees and just run a good clean race. It was awesome to be back on the podium. I just wish I could have done it sooner,” said Farr.
