Red Bull KTM sponsored rider Maximus Vohland had climbed his way to the front of the 85cc 9-12 and seemed to have the race under control. However, near the end of the moto he would get together with a lapper and go down. Reynolds would go on to win the race.Photo by Jacob Souder

Mitchell Falk made up for his mistake and crash the previous day by winning the 250B limited with ease. Falk looked very comfortable on the bike and displayed some next level speed.Photo by Jacob Souder
