when she ended up taking a snow fence in her rear brake rotor and sprocket . After dealing with the fence and removing the shredded plastic , she was more than nine minutes behind then-leader Gutish . As the women entered the second lap , Forsley made a valiant effort to push for the lead , but Turner and Gutish were able to keep her at bay . Turner passed for the lead , finishing over three minutes ahead ; Gutish would finish second , and Forsley would round out the podium .
“ I had a blast at the Rev Limiter !” said Gutish . “ The terrain out in Texas is quite different than what I ’ m used to back home , which is sort of refreshing . Weather was great , and the course was a nice mix of somewhat difficult sections and fun , flowing trail , with nothing too deathdefying . I didn ’ t ride to the very best of my ability , but still came away with a solid second place finish in the women ’ s pro class . I know what I need to work on , and I think I ’ m in a good position to defend our number one plate this season !”
“ The RevLimiter started off well and overall I felt really good on the bike ,” Forsley reported on Instagram . “ I had 2 unfortunate events that took important minutes away from me setting me in P3 . Every race is an opportunity to learn and gain experience . Happy to have that one under my belt .”
