Rockstar Energy Husqvarna ’ s Tayla Jones took the win in the Women ’ s Pro class after topping nine of the 12 tests .
“ I was a little nervous about racing in the snow but it turned out to be fun ,” said Jones . “ I got some test wins and got settled into my new bike so all is good .”
Trail Jesters Racing KTM ’ s Kori Steede won three tests and was second overall in Women ’ s Pro . Meanwhile , Bonanza Plumbing / GasGas / Spkye ' s Bikes / RG Racing ’ s Rachel Gutish rounded out the podium in third .
" Definitely hit-or-miss performance this weekend ," said Gutish . " I haven ’ t had much time with the bike . We ’ re still doing a lot of testing . In fact , that was one of the big reasons I wanted to come here because sprint enduro serves as such a good venue for that . I really think by the time GNCC and Sumter rolls around , we ’ ll be good to go ."
