After the top ten finish I was ready to tackle the next course and get further inside the top ten. That would not be the case!
When the flag flew I rocketed from an outside start spot to sweep around the outside and cross the stripe right behind KTM XC2 points leader Kailub Russell. But those factory guys are fast out of the gate. I drifted back and settled in 10th position for the first few laps. At about the half way point in the race I moved to the edge of the trail about 4 miles into the loop only to clip a large rock or stump and land on my head.
With the bars folded back I had to ease my way around the 14 mile course to the pits.
I charged hard and managed to get back up to 12th position before the finish.
