riding pissed off about it . I was trying everything I could , but he just definitely had the edge out there today . Got better as we went on and got a little closer , but , overall , I just didn ’ t really have much for him .”
Girroir was third overall for the weekend and first in the Pro2 class .
“ I had a good day yesterday and I was in the mix ,” said Girroir . “ But the track changed drastically overnight and today it was super dry and slippery so you just had to kind of drift it and tip-toe around and that made it tricky . I ’ m usually better in the ruts and softer stuff .”
Draper was on the gas on Saturday , winning two of the Enduro tests . However , a mishap on Sunday put the New Zealander in a hole he couldn ’ t climb out of and he wound up finishing fourth overall for the weekend and third in the Pro 1 division .
“ On Saturday , I just hit my marks all day , no mistakes , no crashes or bad lines and I ended up winning the last two Enduro tests . And that ’ s the closest I ’ ve ever been to Layne and Stew in cross tests , so it was just a good day ; I was stoked to win my first Sprint Enduro in Pro 1 class ,” said Draper . “ Today I started off okay in the Cross test , but in the first Enduro test I had a good crash and had to come back down a hill and go up again . So , I lost 19 seconds to them there and that kind of set me back for the rest of the day .”
Snodgrass was extremely fast in the Cross test , but inconsistent in the Enduro test . The Aussie off-roader finished the weekend in fifth overall and second in the Pro 2 class .
“ I was kind of up and down ,” admitted Snodgrass . “ I was struggling with the Enduro test . It had a lot of tight woods in it and that ’ s not something I ’ ve done much riding in . The Cross test was kind of what I ’ m used to riding and I really enjoyed it .”
