Michael Pilotte was looking solid as ever in his pro class motos despite the muddy conditions. The first moto was a bit rough for Pilotte as he lost his goggles and was having trouble seeing due to all the mud, but he still hung on to take fifth place in moto one.

In Pro moto two, Pilotte and Nate Morello battled it out for the holeshot, but Pilotte had to settle for second going into the first turn. “We were side by side going into the first turn, but Nate edged me out,” said Pilotte. Josh Creamer would eventually pass Pilotte, which would send the Honda rider back to a third place finish, but Pilotte’s solid performance was enough to earn him the final spot on the Pro podium.
