able to finish. I don’t know how much time I actually
lost, but I ended up losing the day by two tenths of
a second.”
Toth’s crash the final test moved Russell ahead of
him for Saturday’s win by .200 second.
Babbitt’s Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Strang was
quick in the Cross test and won the last two after
crashing in the first one, which was won by his
teammate Jordan Ashburn.
“I crashed in the first Enduro test and lost a bunch
of time, but other than that it was good,” said
Strang. “Except for that crash, I think I was in the
top three maybe in every test, so I was pretty happy
with that.”
On Sunday, Russell found the pace he was look-
ing for and took the opening test (Cross Test) by a
full second over Strang, with Duvall in third. Duvall
won the second test by four seconds over Russell,
with Strang another three seconds back in third. The
disparity in Enduro test times was due to the techni-
cal nature of the test.
Duvall won the remaining two Enduro tests on
Sunday, giving him a clean sweep of the test for the
day and moving him into first in Sunday’s results
ahead of Russell by 14 seconds.
In the overall results, Russell took the win by 3.115
seconds over Duvall. Strang was third.
Ashburn was having one of his best races of the
season and finished Saturday’s round in fourth. Du-
vall, on the other hand, was struggling and ended
the day in fifth.
North Carolina’s Lyndon Snodgrass turned in an
impressive ride to put his KTM into sixth, while
Husqvarna/Max Motorsports’ Evan Smith added an-
other win in the Pro2 division with a seventh-place
finish.
