>> Jayden Clough took the lead right from the gate drop just ahead of the screaming Cobra 65 of Julien Beaumer. About midway through the opening lap, Beaumer carried momen- tum through the whoops and forced his way up the inside of the KTM rider. One lap later, the two of them were neck and neck coming toward the finish line in front of the announc- ers tower. Clough took the outside line around a super fast corner, but he swapped out in a high speed crash right after taking over the lead. Beaumer coincidentally fell a couple
of corners later which allowed the charging Orange Brigade rider of Haiden Deegan to take over the #1 spot. The Cali- fornian had a comfortable lead as they started the white flag lap; the close racing was taking place in the battle for the final podium spot as Julien Beaumer was able to launch his way past a group of riders and salvage a podium finish, Ran- dall Myers finished ahead of him in 2nd.
