Morgan Tanke Comented;
“Reno didn’t really go the way that I was planning. My Xtrainer got me off to a good start and everything was looking good until the rock section where my bike got buried in the gaps. I finally got out of the rock section only to do the same thing the next lap. I’m ready to put in some more work this week and turn things around in Denver!”
Ty Cullins Comented;
“The track was pretty fast and more of a moto style, which isn’t really my style but I was able to make it work and get the win in my qualifier. In the main I had a decent start but went down with a couple other riders in one of the first corners and had to play catch-up for the rest of the race. I battled my way back up to 9th by the end, my results are getting better and I’m looking to improve on them even more this weekend in Denver.”

Jordan Ashburn Commented;
“Well I’m bummed today didn’t turn out to well. I got a bad start and it was a super dust bowl. Lots of silt with rocks and super fast fields. I was chasing 6th for a lap and a half and couldn’t get close enough to make a pass. I ended up crashing in a rocky field and landing flat on my back in a bunch of rocks. One hit me right at the top of my hip and I have a baseball like knot. I tried to finish out the race but I wasn’t able to.”

Nick Davis Commented;
“Not a good weekend for me. Got off to a good start and was running fourth in the dust, but unfortunately couldn’t see very well and lost the front end on a rock. When I came down I dislocated my shoulder and that was the end of my day.”
