#70 Mathieu Deroy placed third in Pro Moto 1 at AK Farms |
Bringing home a 2nd place overall finish, for the second weekend in a row, was the #70 PLX Sport / BRP Can-Am entry of Mathieu Deroy. Deroy would suffer a very painful crash earlier on Saturday, during practice, and would not be feeling his best when Sunday’s motos rolled around. Nevertheless, Deroy would put his Can-Am DS450 ATV to work and do battle in the first moto. Deroy came off the line around the top five and then worked his way up to 3rd place as the 8 laps ticked by. Deroy’s biggest threat was #117 Mike Bluy as the pair would do battle up until the final laps of the race which saw Deroy nudging by in a bottom corner of the track to secure the 3rd place position.
