on Saturday to take the win in the Pro 2 class and finish fourth in the overall standings . Babbitt ’ s Racing Team Green Kawasaki ’ s Lyndon Snodgrass beat out Barnes for top Pro 2 honors on Sunday , but it was not enough to erase the lead that Barnes had built on Saturday .
“ I had a really good day on Saturday ,” said Barnes . “ I made only one mistake . Only had one crash . Then today , I struggled a little bit on the cross test , but all in all , it was a good day . I was able to come out with the overall for the weekend . It ’ s a good way to start off the year .”
Considering the conditions , Snodgrass was happy with his overall performance .
“ I ’ ve never really ridden in ice or snow or anything like that before , so right off the bat I was kind of just too hesitant ,” said Snodgrass . “ I kind of just didn ’ t really get into a flow . I wasn ’ t really confident on that slippery , icy dirt . Never really got a flow going . We come out today and made a couple of changes this morning before I went and rode . I think that helped . Right off the bat , first cross test , I was a lot more competitive . Just had a much better day today .”
Thorn Devlin put his 760 Husqvarna into sixth overall and third in the Pro2 division , finishing just 15 seconds behind Snodgrass . After riding for another team in 2021 , Devlin was making his first ride on a new bike .
