"This year's 29 Palms course seemed pretty demanding. The speeds were fast and the rough chop was pretty sharp and steep. It seems like these courses are getting tougher each year. For Zach, it was great to see him get up front off the start, leading early and feeling the lead pace. For him, it's just about reps, getting more time on the bike, strengthening his wrist, and getting stronger at speed. I know he's incredibly determined to keep progressing, and he'll keep working hard to get to where he wants to be. Tyler had some challenges today. It started with the early track position, which made it tough in the dust. Then, that crash in the pro section really set his race back. Still, he showed toughness to keep pushing forward and salvaged a top-ten finish. He'll look to rebound as we head to Blythe WORCS next weekend."
