Hart ’ s 1-2 finish would see him take the overall top podium position over Webb ’ s 4-1 .
“ The day started off horrible with ninth in hot laps and a derailed chain ,” said Hart . “ I was fired up for the first moto and came out charging , ultimately winning the sprint . In the final , Cody and I went back and forth most of the race and we had some really good battles . I ’ m happy to end up with the overall win !”
“ I really wasn ’ t too happy with how the day went ,” said Webb . “ It was a pretty simple course for a hard enduro and the conditions weren ’ t on our side . In moto one , I got a bad start and just couldn ’ t get around those guys . I tried a few times , but just couldn ’ t make it happen and settled for fourth . In the final moto , I rode angry and charged hard . I rode a little tight with the other guys right on my tail for the first half before opening up a nice lead . I then suffered some issues and lost all the time I gained and fell back . I charged hard and was aggressive which allowed me to take back the lead right before the finish and get the win in moto two . I was happy with how I rode overall , just not how I executed that first moto , which ended up costing me .”
Louise Forsley found herself the only female rider making it into the final moto , finishing 27th overall .
