We Are Not Talking Struggles, Yet…
While there were some names missing from top 5’s or even top 10’s, we are not going to start talking struggles just quite yet. On a SX track that proved to be more of a holeshot contest—the lap times were so similar—all it took was a small misstep to find yourself buried in the back in no man’s land. Heck, one of the fastest laps of the SX portion came from Jayden Clough in traffic fighting for a top 10. We take this party to the moto track next which should give us a better look as to how the competition is stacking up on more typical conditions.
