In the Women ’ s Pro Class , Rockstar Husqvarna Lan Mills XC rider Tayla Jones had amassed enough of a lead in the series standings that she wrapped up her fourth Women ’ s Pro Championship just by starting Monday ’ s event .
“ It was good to get another year ,” said Jones . “ Four times is pretty incredible , for sure . Coming into this weekend we didn ’ t even know if we could ride due to my hand , so just to get on the podium here was great but to wrap up the championship is what we ’ re here for , so I ’ m stoked .”
Enduro Engineering / Mepmx / Fly / Grizzly Peak / Traveler ’ s Rest Speedway / KTM ’ s Mackenzie Tricker went on to take the round 5 win , with Archer rounding out the podium in third . Tricker was pleased with her performance over the course of the three days . “ It couldn ’ t have gone much better ,” said Tricker . “ I won three days and both the overalls . Today I had a little bit of a lead going into the last test and I knew I didn ’ t want to make a mistake , so I cruised a little bit and ended up losing the last two tests today . Other than that , it was a great weekend .”
