>> The KTM duo of Colin Allen and Kyle Smith got out to an early lead and they wasted no time checking out on the rest of the pack. Allen was able to lead the first lap, but Smith was impatient in getting to the front as he made the pass into the first corner after taking the green flag. The Rides Un- limited rider began to dictate the pace once he hit the front, setting a sizable gap of approximately 3 seconds over the finish line. Adler Caudle rounded out the podium as he kept Allen in check, but the star of the show was the young Geor- gian in the lead; he continued to lay down blinding laps as he sprinted away into the distance, improving his gap over Allen to almost 6 seconds as he took the white flag. Smith threw some whips for the fans on his way to the checkered flag as he oozed confidence on his 65cc machine. The KTM rider claimed the victory with a succession of fist pumps, secur- ing the championship in the process. Colin Allen and Ryan Canaguier rounded out the overall podium.
