“ Overall , it was a good day here at Last Dog Standing ,” Haaker said . “ I rode well in the first moto and got myself in good position and then the last obstacle didn ’ t go my way , which put me pretty far back for the start of the overall . In the second race , I rode pretty clean but I started a little further back than I would have liked because of my finish in the first race and I just could not get through the tires very well .”
Hart ' s rough day continued , as he started the second moto buried in the back of the pack . With sights set on Webb , he made a valiant effort towards the front , but wasn ' t able to catch him in time . Coming in almost eight minutes behind Cody , who finished moto two just shy of 90 minutes , Hart claimed the runner-up finish , with a 3-2 moto score putting him in second place overall .
“ I made a major mistake in the final race ," said Hart . " I was back in sixth on the start and that pretty much cost me a chance at the win today . I ’ ll learn from my mistakes and do better next time .”
Third place overall was claimed by Taylor Robert , who started strong off the line for moto two . Although the waterfall section gave him some difficulties , he was able to free himself and get a run at the leaders . Robert would finish with a 2-4 on the day , leaving him hin third place for the overall podium .
