Girroir posted the second-fastest time in the test and was second on the day , his 1-2 performance earning h im first overall for th e weekend .
“ Today , I started off firing out of the gate with the first two tests and got a comfy lead , then it was a battle from there ,” said Girroir . “ Everyone ’ s really close .

I had the lead over Layne by just a second or two the whole day , and then that last one he took it away from me . Layne rode good all day today and he got the win for the day by just about three seconds on me . I got the overall for the weekend , so it was good . Good racing . It ’ s going to be a good season .”
“ I was able to squeeze out the win there in the last test ,” said Michael . “ Obviously , we didn ’ t get the overall win , but to at least split days with Johnny was a huge step in the right direction .
