The Intermediate MX 2 motos were exciting to watch as Devin Sleigh and Ryan MacKay were first and second with Shane Gallant in third on the day. Shane finished first in the first moto but could only muster a fifth in the second moto. He had a good lead in the second moto but lost the lead to Devin and Ryan when he made a few mistakes.

One of the best classes to watch for good hard charging racing is the Junior MX 2 class. There are always three or four riders in the hunt and anyone of them can win. On this day, Logan Gallant was first, with Isaac Nice second and Cole Butcher third. Mat Clements was not far behind in fourth and challenged all day.

Note: PJ tells us she was okay and got up to finish strong! Good job!

Elizabeth Burke continues to get stronger and faster as the series goes on. She clearly dominated the Ladies class at Riverglade and showed the boys how fast she is in the School Boy class.

Davey Fraser and Kyle Chatham ran away with the Pro GP class. These two guys clearly enjoy pushing each other for the win, as they traded positions often. This weekend Davey took home first overall with Kyle in second. After three rounds, Davey is   only 5 points ahead of Kyle.
