Moto 2: Mini Sr. 1 (12-14)

Bud Racing KTM’s Tim Lopes grabbed the early lead in the second Mini Sr. 1 moto, with B’s Moto Lab Husqvarna’s Landon Lee and AR Refinish Solutions KTM’s Owen Strawn following closely behind. Lopes quickly established a comfortable gap of about five seconds while the battle behind him continued to develop.

FXR Husqvarna’s Tucker Couette worked his way into podium position, while ClubMX KTM’s Joey Vicari began his charge forward after starting 11th. Vicari showed an impressive pace and sliced through the field to move into second. Once there, Vicari set his sights on Lopes and the two riders traded quick laps, with Vicari steadily reducing the gap each time they crossed the line. In the final laps, Lopes’ advantage had disappeared entirely.

With only a couple laps remaining, Vicari made his move and successfully took control of the moto. From there, he maintained his pace and completed an impressive 10-position climb to secure his second moto victory of the week, finishing 2.8 seconds ahead of Lopes.

Couette crossed the line a distant third, followed by Suzuki RMArmy’s Chase Brennan in fourth and Lynks Racing KTM’s Whalyn Ballenger in fifth.

The victory proved valuable for Vicari in the championship as a second win bumped him into the overall points lead heading into the final moto. He holds a three-point advantage over GASGAS rider Eidan Steinbrecher who won Moto 1 but finished seventh in the second moto.

The two vets separated themselves from the rest of the field, with Nicoletti settling in behind Osborne. Osborne maintained an advantage of roughly three seconds through the opening half of the race before upping his pace and increasing the gap. By the halfway point, Osborne was up more than 10 seconds over Nicoletti and appeared firmly in control.

Moto 2: 250 B

The second 250 B moto began with The Shoals MX Kawasaki’s Caleb Wood leading the field into the opening lap, followed by Husqvarna Amateur Racing’s Tristan Prueitt and Thor KTM’s Tomi Doble. Prueitt wasted no time pressuring Wood and made his move for the lead on the second lap.

That same lap saw Moto 1 winner Brennon Harrison charge forward from fourth to take over second, giving Team Husqvarna Amateur Racing control of the top two positions. Monster Energy Kawasaki Team Green’s Dane Pappas settled into third and remained within striking distance as the Husqvarna teammates pulled away.

Prueitt gradually increased his advantage as the race went on, and Harrison’s challenge came to an abrupt end when he crashed and dropped several spots. Pappas inherited second, while Rob’s Performance KTM’s Ryder Skodras and EBR Altus Performance Yamaha’s Tanner Dorman engaged in a battle for the final podium spot.

With the pressure behind him gone, Prueitt controlled the remainder of the moto and secured his second victory of the week by 7.1 seconds over Pappas. Dorman ultimately prevailed in his battle with Skodras to finish third, while Altus Motorsports bLUcRU Yamaha’s McKayden Fitch completed the top five.

Moto 2: Women

Yamaha’s Jordan Jarvis put herself in control from the start of the second Women’s moto, leading KTM rider Piper Bell and SLR Honda’s Mayla Herrick into the opening lap. Jarvis immediately took advantage of the clear track and built a small cushion while Herrick moved around Bell for second.

Herrick appeared to have the pace to challenge Jarvis for the lead but her charge was interrupted when an issue with her throttle cable dramatically slowed her pace. Jarvis capitalized immediately and opened a sizeable advantage. As Herrick faded, Triumph rider Hannah Hodges moved into second as Jarvis pulled away. The Yamaha rider eventually built a lead of nearly 15 seconds while Herrick briefly slipped as far back as fourth.

Jarvis cruised to a convincing 20.4-second victory while the battle for second came down to the final turn. Hodges encountered trouble on the last lap, allowing Herrick to move back into the runner-up position. Hodges regrouped and launched one final attack down the finishing stretch, ultimately taking second at the line and pushing Herrick to third. Solid Rock Facilities Triumph’s Lilly-Ann Pettus finished fourth, followed by Senge Yamaha’s Tinley McCoy in fifth.

With Jarvis and Herrick each claiming a moto victory, just one point separates them heading into the final moto.

Moto 2: Supermini 1 (12-15)

Team Husqvarna Amateur Racing’s Easton Graves continued to look like the rider to beat in Supermini 1. Graves launched to the early lead ahead of JK Powersports KTM’s Jackson Vick and fellow Husqvarna rider Maddox Temmerman.

The race changed almost immediately as Graves made a mistake on the second lap and nearly went down, allowing Vick to inherit the lead. Graves recovered in second and applied pressure while Temmerman remained close behind.

Graves appeared to have the speed necessary to retake the lead, but Temmerman made an aggressive move around his teammate for second. Graves then began losing touch with the leaders as he dealt with an issue on his motorcycle, later saying his priority was to simply reach the finish. Temmerman quickly closed the gap to Vick and eventually made his move for the lead with only a few laps remaining. His time up front was short-lived as he collided with a lapped rider and went down, handing the lead back to Vick.

Vick took full advantage and controlled the final laps to secure the moto victory by 3.6 seconds. Temmerman recovered for second with Graves nursing his bike home in third. Triangle Cycles bLUcRU Yamaha’s Cooper Johnson finished fourth and Altus Motorsports bLUcRU Yamaha’s Tayce Morgan rounded out the top five.

With one moto remaining, Vick carries a narrow two-point advantage over Johnson in the overall standings.

KTM Orange Brigade’s Beckham Smith took command of the second 85cc (10-12) Limited moto from the opening lap, leading Roofman KTM’s Parker Beckington and Windgassen Landscape KTM’s Luke Shelton through the first turns. With an open track, Smith immediately built an advantage of nearly 10 seconds.

Behind him, Beckington settled into second with Mendid MX GASGAS rider Nolan Cobb closing in. Cobb started 10th but steadily carved his way through the field, eventually reaching third and later tracking down Beckington for second. At the halfway point, Cobb completed the pass for second and set his sights on Smith up front.

The battle for third continued to develop as MotoBros KTM’s Anderson Waldele made an impressive charge from 12th. Waldele worked his way into the final podium position, while Beckington eventually settled into fourth.

At the front, Smith remained composed and never surrendered his advantage. He completed a wire-to-wire performance to earn his first moto victory of the week, crossing the finish 9.6 seconds ahead of Cobb. Waldele took third, followed by Beckington and JM Racing GASGAS rider Jayce Owen. Moto 1 winner Jaydin Smart suffered a first-lap crash but passed 20 riders on his way to 18th.

Team Husqvarna Amateur Racing’s Tristan Prueitt carried his Moto 1 momentum straight into the second Schoolboy 2 moto. He took the early lead ahead of Monster Energy Kawasaki Team Green’s Dane Pappas and Hunter Racing Kawasaki’s Trinnytie Batchelor.

Prueitt immediately opened up a lead of more than four seconds over Pappas within the first few laps. Pappas remained close enough to keep the leader within sight, but the Kawasaki rider was unable to match Prueitt’s speed and the gap gradually increased.

Behind the leaders, Batchelor came under pressure from United Motorsports Kawasaki’s Wyatt Duff. Duff eventually made his move for third as the race progressed.

Prueitt completed another dominant performance, taking the checkered flag 8.8 seconds ahead of Pappas to claim his second moto victory of the day. Duff secured third after his charge forward, while Altus Motorsports bLUcRU Yamaha’s McKayden Fitch finished fourth. Team Husqvarna Amateur Racing’s Brennon Harrison rounded out the top five.

Osborne regained the lead with Rockstar Energy Husqvarna’s Landon Gibson moving into second. Gibson kept the pressure on throughout the moto, maintaining a gap of only a few seconds while Monster Energy Kawasaki Team Green’s Kade Johnson worked his way into third.

For much of the race, Osborne appeared to be in control, but a late-race mistake allowed Gibson to capitalize and take over the lead. Osborne remained close at first but eventually lost contact to Gibson.

Further back, ClubMX Yamaha’s Ryder Malinoski produced one of the day’s strongest rides, charging forward from 14th at the start to secure third. Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Carson Wood finished fourth, while ClubMX Yamaha’s Jesson Turner completed the top five.

Moto 2: 65cc (10-11)

Cobra Elite Factory Racing’s Yumena Berning delivered a landmark performance in the second 65cc (10-11) moto, taking the lead from the opening moments and putting herself in position to make history. Altus Motorsports Cobra’s Ryder Annison settled into second, while B’s Moto Lab KTM’s Tucker Tix followed closely behind.

Berning and Annison immediately separated themselves from the rest of the field, but neither rider was able to break away. The two young racers remained within two seconds of one another for the majority of the moto. Despite the relentless pressure, Berning avoided the mistakes that could have opened the door for Annison. The Yamaha rider continued searching for an opportunity while Tix waited patiently behind the leaders.

Annison made one final push on the last lap, but Berning held her line and reached the checkered flag just 0.33 seconds ahead of Annison to secure the victory, making her the first girl to win a moto in an open division. Tix completed the podium in third, followed by Cobra Elite Factory Racing’s Jax Baker and TCD Racing KTM’s Levi Leddy.

Day 2 Highlights

Moto 1: 85cc (10-12) Limited

The opening moto of the 85cc (10-12) Limited division belonged to Altus Motorsports bLU cRU Yamaha rider Jaydin Smart, who continued the momentum he established earlier in the week with another commanding win. MotoBros KTM’s Anderson Waldele launched to the holeshot and through the opening corners, while Windgassen Landscape KTM rider Luke Shelton tucked into second and Smart in third.

Smart wasted little time moving to the front. After sizing up the leaders on the opening lap, the Yamaha rider executed consecutive passes on Shelton and Waldele to assume control of the race. Once he found clean air, Smart immediately settled into a consistent rhythm and pulled away.

Behind the leader, Waldele regrouped after losing the top spot and rode comfortably in second for the remainder of the moto. Future MX GASGAS rider Ryan Ciciretti worked his way forward after starting fifth and eventually secured third, while KTM Orange Brigade’s Beckham Smith maintained a steady ride for fourth. Altus Motorsports KTM rider Gavin McCoy rounded out the top five with another consistent effort.

Out front, Smart was never challenged. The Yamaha rider steadily increased his advantage with each lap before taking the checkered flag 13.8 seconds ahead of Waldele. The convincing victory marked Smart’s second moto win of the week and further established him as one of the standout riders of the championship.

Moto 1: Schoolboy 2 (12-17) B/C

The opening Schoolboy 2 (12-17) B/C moto produced one of the closest battles of the week as Team Husqvarna Amateur Racing’s Tristan Prueitt emerged victorious after an intense fight for the lead. Rob’s Performance KTM rider Ryder Skodras put himself in the perfect position off the gate and grabbed the holeshot, with EBR Altus Performance Yamaha’s Tanner Dorman and Fasst Company KTM’s Grayson Townsend giving chase.

Townsend’s race took an unfortunate turn early after encountering mechanical trouble that forced him out of contention, leaving Skodras and Dorman to battle at the front. Their fight allowed Prueitt, who started fifth, to steadily erase the gap as he passed through the field.

By the halfway point, Prueitt moved around Dorman for second and immediately closed on Skodras. One lap later, the Husqvarna rider completed the winning pass and took over the lead. Skodras refused to let him escape and kept the pressure on throughout the remainder of the moto.

Prueitt remained calm and held on to secure the moto 1 victory by just 1.1 seconds over Skodras. Dorman completed the podium after narrowly holding off Suzuki RMArmy rider Kannon Hargrove in a last lap battle for third. Monster Energy Kawasaki Team Green rider Dane Pappas rounded out the top five.

History was also made as SLR Honda’s Mayla Herrick became the first female rider to compete in the Schoolboy 2 class. Unfortunately, her debut ended early after completing just two laps before retiring from the moto.

Moto 1: Open Pro Sport

Liqui Moly Beta rider Zach Osborne wasted no time asserting himself by grabbing the holeshot, with Rockstar Energy Husqvarna’s Phil Nicoletti and Monster Energy Kawasaki Team Green’s Kade Johnson close behind.

Johnson immediately showed impressive speed by setting the fastest lap of the race early and charged past both veteran riders to claim the lead. Despite surrendering the top spot, Osborne remained composed and patiently waited for his opportunity. Just a few laps later, the former Pro Motocross Champion reclaimed the lead and used his experience to regain control of the moto.

Osborne gradually stretched his advantage as Johnson found himself under pressure from Nicoletti. The Husqvarna rider eventually worked his way into second, while Osborne was too far gone out front.

Osborne crossed the finish line 9.9 seconds ahead of Nicoletti to secure his second moto victory of the week. Johnson completed an impressive ride in third, while ClubMX Yamaha rider Jesson Turner finished fourth. MotoBros KTM’s Cole Forbes rounded out the top five. 250 Pro Sport moto one winner Ryder Malinoski did not finish the race after a crash forced him to retire early.

Moto 1: 65cc (10-11)

The first moto of the 65cc (10-11) class belonged to Altus Motorsports Cobra rider Ryder Annison, who capitalized on a strong start and lead early on the opening lap. Cobra Factory Racing’s Shannon Tarnow settled into second, with another Cobra rider, Cruz Peterson, completing the early top three.

Annison laid down a blistering opening pace and quickly built an advantage of more than five seconds, leaving the rest to battle for second. Tarnow found himself under pressure from Cobra Elite Factory Racing teammate Yumena Berning, renewing a rivalry that began in the Limited division earlier in the week.

After starting seventh, Berning put together one of the strongest rides of the moto. She gained four positions in a single lap before closing onto Tarnow’s rear wheel. Just after the halfway point, Berning passed for second and turned her attention toward the leader, Annison.

Annison remained flawless from start to finish, completing a dominant wire-to-wire performance to claim the Moto 1 victory by eight seconds. Berning’s late charge secured her a well-earned runner-up finish, with Cobra Elite Factory Racing’s Jax Baker completing the podium after a last-lap pass on Tarnow for third. Team Husqvarna Amateur Racing’s Abshur Hall rounded out the top five with a consistent ride.

Moto 1: Supermini 2 (13-16)

Supermini 2 produced one of the most straightforward races of the week as Team Husqvarna Amateur Racing’s Easton Graves delivered a commanding wire-to-wire performance. Graves launched to the holeshot and immediately put himself in control of the race, with JK Powersports KTM’s Jackson Vick and Gulf States GASGAS rider Elliott Bowsher giving chase through the opening corners.

With every lap, Graves steadily increased his gap over Vick, who in turn maintained a comfortable margin over Bowsher. Before long, the leading trio had settled into their respective positions, each separated by several seconds.

Behind the podium contenders, JC Motorsports KTM rider Cash Anderson quietly worked his way into fourth and remained there for the duration of the moto. Husqvarna rider Maddox Temmerman completed a consistent ride inside the top five, never allowing the riders behind him to mount a serious challenge.

Graves never put a wheel wrong and secured an impressive 12.2-second victory as Vick claimed second, with Bowsher completing the podium in third. Anderson and Temmerman rounded out the top five in an uneventful but highly consistent opening moto.

Moto 2: 85cc (10-12)

Altus Motorsports bLU cRU Yamaha rider Jaydin Smart continued his remarkable week with another strong performance in Moto 2 of the 85cc (10-12) class. Fresh off his opening moto victory, Smart wasted no time asserting himself once again by grabbing the holeshot ahead of GASGAS rider Nolan Cobb and KTM Orange Brigade’s Beckham Smith.

Smart immediately separated himself from the field and built an advantage of nearly four seconds on lap one Behind him, Cobb settled into second while Smith remained close enough to keep the pressure on throughout the moto.

While Cobb consistently matched Smart’s pace, he was never able to significantly reduce the advantage. The battle then shifted for second, where Smith steadily reeled in the GASGAS rider over the closing laps. Their duel intensified on the final lap as Smith mounted one last charge in the final corners.

Cobb narrowly held onto second by just 0.09 of a second at the finish. MotoBros KTM rider Anderson Waldele crossed the line in fourth, while Owen Motor Sports KTM rider Braxton Roth completed the top five.

Smart’s wire-to-wire victory came with a margin of 7.4 seconds and gave the Yamaha rider back-to-back moto wins. He carries a three-point lead in the overall standings, going into the final moto.

Moto 2: Mini Sr. 2 (13-15)

The second Mini Sr. 2 moto delivered plenty of drama as Lynks Racing KTM rider Mason Murdy capitalized on late-race mistakes and leveled the score in the championship battle. B’s Moto Lab Husqvarna’s Landon Lee grabbed the holeshot with Murdy giving chase in second and KTM’s Dylan Graham quickly moving into third after an early pass on Eidan Steinbrecher.

Lee and Murdy immediately separated themselves from the field, but at the halfway point Lee crashed and was unable to continue, handing the lead over to Murdy. The change at the front also elevated Moto 1 winner Joey Vicari into podium contention after the ClubMX KTM rider methodically worked his way up from a seventh-place start. Graham appeared comfortable in second for much of the race but suffered a crash on the final lap that dropped him to fifth.

Murdy controlled the second half of the race and cruised to a 13.1-second victory. Vicari charged to finish second, while Suzuki RMArmy rider Chase Brennan climbed from 25th on the opening lap to secure the final podium position. Steinbrecher finished fourth, with Graham salvaging fifth.

Moto 2: 250 Pro Sport

Moto two of the prestigious 250 Pro Sport class produced another thrilling battle among the nation’s top amateur talent, with Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing rider Carson Wood earning a convincing victory to even the championship standings. MotoBros KTM’s Cole Forbes grabbed the holeshot followed closely by Wood and race one winner Ryder Malinoski on the ClubMX Yamaha.

Wood wasted little time taking control of the race, passing Forbes for the lead on the second lap. Forbes tried to respond but came under heavy pressure from the ClubMX riders Malinoski and Jesson Turner. Malinoski quickly moved into second with Turner also passing Forbes one lap later.

Out front, Wood settled into a rhythm and maintained a lead of roughly seven seconds for much of the moto. Malinoski held a comfortable gap over Turner until Rockstar Energy Husqvarna rider Landon Gibson charged forward with some of the fastest laps of the race. Gibson eventually moved around Turner in the closing stages and onto the podium.

Wood stayed flawless through the final laps and crossed the line 4.5 seconds ahead of Malinoski. Gibson’s late charge earned him third, while Turner settled for fourth. Team Husqvarna Amateur Racing rider Max Shane rounded out the top five.

Day 1 Highlights

 

Moto 1: 85cc (10-12)

The opening moto of the 85cc (10-12) class began with Sun Powersports KTM’s Eli Herrick grabbing the holeshot and leading the field into the opening laps. JM Mitchel Racing KTM’s Weston Otto settled into second, with GASGAS rider Nolan Cobb close behind as the trio quickly established themselves at the front of the field.

With Herrick controlling the pace the battle for second intensified between Otto and Cobb. Cobb attempted to make a pass and the two riders made contact and went down, promoting Altus Motorsports bLU cRU Yamaha’s Jaydin Smart to second and KTM Orange Brigade’s Beckham Smith to third. Otto remounted in fifth, while Cobb dropped outside the top 30.

Smart immediately began reeling in the race leader, closing a gap of over four seconds in just one lap. He continued his charge and made a pass on Herrick for the lead at the halfway point of the race before pulling away.

Herrick’s race then took a turn for the worse as he dropped out of contention and allowed Smith to inherit second. From there, Smart was untouchable, charging from a seventh-place start to secure the Moto 1 victory by 9.7 seconds over Smith. Owen Motor Sports KTM’s Logan Lustig completed the podium in third, followed by B’s Moto Lab KTM’s Levi Geis and MotoBros KTM’s Anderson Waldele in fourth and fifth.

Moto 1: Mini Sr. 1

The opening Mini Sr. 1 moto got underway with ClubMX KTM’s Joey Vicari putting himself in perfect position by grabbing the holeshot and leading from the get go. GASGAS’ Eidan Steinbrecher settled into second, with B’s Moto Lab Husqvarna’s Landon Lee completing the top three.

Vicari quickly took advantage of clean track and built a lead of more than two seconds, but Steinbrecher stayed close and steadily chipped away at the deficit. After several laps, the GASGAS rider closed to within striking distance and made a clean pass for the lead. Moments later, Vicari slid out and dropping several positions to end his bid for the win.

This allowed Steinbrecher to stretch his advantage to more than five seconds over Lee, who inherited second. Lynks Racing KTM rider Mason Murdy also benefited from Vicari’s misfortune and moved into third. Steinbrecher controlled the moto with consistent pace. Lee turned some of the fastest laps and gradually trimmed the gap over the closing laps, but he was never close enough to mount a serious challenge for the lead.

Steinbrecher captured the opening Mini Sr. 1 moto by 2.6 seconds over Lee. Murdy completed the podium in third, while Vicari recovered from his mistake to salvage fourth. RMArmy Suzuki rider Chase Brennan rounded out the top five with a steady ride.

Moto 1: Mini Sr. 2

ClubMX KTM’s Joey Vicari again proved to be the rider to beat when the gate dropped for the opening Mini Sr. 2 moto as he launched to another holeshot and the early lead. Valley Yamaha rider Talon Medaglia settled into second, while KTM’s Whalyn Ballenger completed the top three.

With open track ahead, Vicari immediately pulled away from the field and built an advantage that continued to grow with each lap. Medaglia maintained a comfortable hold on second but was unable to match the leader’s pace. Behind him, Eidan Steinbrecher made an impressive charge after starting seventh. Steinbrecher worked his way into podium contention before the halfway point and soon passed Ballenger for third. A few laps later, he made another pass on Medaglia for second, with  Vicari stretching his lead to well over ten seconds.

Vicari remained flawless from start to finish and completed a dominant wire-to-wire performance, crossing the line 12.8 seconds clear of second place. Steinbrecher’s late charge secured second, while Medaglia completed the podium in third. Lynks Racing KTM’s Mason Murdy finished fourth after another consistent ride, with Ballenger holding on for fifth.

Moto 1: 250 Pro Sport

One of the most anticipated motos of opening day delivered immediately as Team Husqvarna Amateur Racing’s Max Shane grabbed the holeshot over the 250 Pro Sport field. ClubMX Yamaha teammates Jesson Turner and Ryder Malinoski tucked in behind Shane, setting the stage for an early battle among three of the class favorites.

Shane fought hard to defend the lead, but Turner remained within striking distance and capitalized on a small mistake by the Husqvarna rider to take over the top spot. Malinoski quickly followed his teammate into second, allowing the ClubMX duo to break away from the rest of the field.

The teammates soon found themselves locked in an exciting battle for the lead with more than five seconds separating them from the chasing pack. Turner successfully defended several pass attempts, but Malinoski continued to apply pressure before finally finding a way around.

Once in front, Malinoski gradually increased his advantage as the laps wound down with Turner staying close for several laps. Malinoski captured the opening 250 Pro Sport moto victory by three seconds over Turner, giving ClubMX Yamaha a one-two finish. Rockstar Energy Husqvarna rider Landon Gibson charged from 10th to take third, while Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Carson Wood also worked forward from outside the top five to finish fourth. Shane rounded out the top five.

Moto 1: 65cc (10-11) Limited

The opening moto of the 65cc (10-11) Limited class featured plenty of early drama as Team Husqvarna Amateur Racing’s Abshur Hall grabbed the holeshot ahead of KTM Orange Brigade’s Talon Rogers and GPF KTM’s Luke Taylor. Hall quickly looked to establish control, but an off-track excursion dropped him back through the field. Moments later, Taylor also ran into trouble and crash while running second, thus handing the lead to Rogers.

The chaos up front created the perfect opportunity for TCD Racing KTM’s Levi Leddy, who put together one of the most impressive rides of the day. After starting outside the top 10, Leddy sliced through the field and stormed from seventh to first in a single lap, making a decisive pass on Rogers for the lead.

Once out front, Leddy immediately opened an advantage while Rogers came under heavy pressure from Cobra Elite Factory Racing teammates Shannon Tarnow and Yumena Berning. Berning worked her way past Tarnow before making another pass on Rogers for second. Tarnow soon followed into third.

Berning steadily chipped away at Leddy’s lead over the second half of the moto, but the KTM rider never faltered. Leddy maintained his composure to capture the opening moto victory by 2.5 seconds over Berning. Tarnow completed the podium in third, while Invictus GASGAS rider Joao Ferreira Jr. finished fourth. Rogers rounded out the top five after spending much of the moto inside podium contention.

Moto 1: 25+

The 25+ class once again showcased an impressive lineup of former professional racers, making it one of the most anticipated divisions of the week. Let’s Ride Honda’s Jake Weimer grabbed the holeshot and led the opening lap, but former Pro Motocross Champion Zach Osborne, aboard his Liqui Moly Beta, quickly moved into second and began applying pressure.

Osborne wasted little time taking over the lead from Weimer on the second lap. Behind them, Rockstar Energy Husqvarna’s Phil Nicoletti closed the gap to create a three-rider fight for the lead during the opening stages of the moto.

At the halfway point, Osborne laid down his fastest lap of the race and made a small gap over Weimer and Nicoletti. Nicoletti remained glued to Weimer’s rear wheel before briefly losing touch. In the closing laps, slower traffic held up Weimer and  let Nicoletti make the pass for second.

Osborne remained untouchable, cruising to the Moto 1 victory by 5.9 seconds. Nicoletti’s late charge earned him second, while Weimer rounded out the podium in third. ClubMX Yamaha’s Brandon Haas finished fourth, with Yamaha rider Jud Wisdom completing the top five.

Moto 1: 250 B

Team Husqvarna Amateur Racing’s Brennon Harrison started his week in perfect fashion by grabbing the holeshot in the opening 250 B moto ahead of LA Services/Wilco Crane Yamaha’s Ryan Jaramillo and Fasst Company KTM’s Grayson Townsend.

With clear track, Harrison immediately established himself as the rider to beat, opening a lead of more than five seconds in the opening laps. Behind him, Jaramillo and Townsend were forced to contend with a charging Tanner Dorman on the EBR Performance Yamaha. After starting in fourth, Dorman steadily worked his way through the field before taking over second.

The battle for the final podium position then shifted to Jaramillo and Thor KTM rider Tomi Doble. After several laps of pressure, Doble completed the pass to move into third.

Out front, Harrison controlled the pace from start to finish and was never seriously challenged as he secured a wire-to-wire  win by 4.7 seconds. Dorman held on to second while Doble completed the podium in third. Rob’s Performance KTM rider Ryder Skodras finished a solid fourth, with Jaramillo rounding out the top five after an impressive opening-lap performance.

Moto 1: Women’s

The opening Women’s moto delivered one of the most exciting finishes of the day. Hannah Hodges put her Triumph out front early, over KTM’s Piper Bell and TiLube KTM’s Callie Sutton. Behind them, SLR Honda’s Mayla Herrick quickly went to work after starting fourth, making consecutive passes to move into second before setting the fastest lap of the race and taking over the lead.

Herrick immediately broke away from the field, opening an advantage of more than 16 seconds and later stretching her lead beyond 30 seconds. With the leader seemingly out of reach, attention shifted to the battle for the remaining podium positions.

Meanwhile, Yamaha’s Jordan Jarvis carved her way through the field to fourth after starting back in 17th. She continued her charge by passing Bell and Hodges to move into second.

Late-race drama unfolded as Herrick crashed with only a few laps remaining, cutting her lead significantly. She suffered another fall on the final lap and allowed Jarvis to close to within striking distance. Lapped riders forced both riders onto alternate lines through the closing corners, but Herrick managed to hang on and secured an incredible victory by just one-tenth of a second. Jarvis settled for a hard-fought runner-up finish, while Hodges completed the podium in third ahead of Bell and Altus Motorsports bLU cRU Yamaha rider Zoe Moore.
