| “I started the day strong, grabbing second in that first test, and just tried to stay consistent. I faded a bit in those last few tests, but I’m stoked I held on for another class podium. This was my sixth podium this year, and finishing second overall in the NE Pro2 championship is a huge accomplishment for me and the Beta USA team. I’m already looking forward to next year.” |
