2022 Primm 2 WORCS

When the green flag raised on the dead-engine start, Lynn’s KX450X was the first to fire and he left the line a half-bike-length lead on the field. Tyler ran a bit wide through the first corner, allowing two riders by and dropping him to third. Not long into the first lap, the racers came to the k-rail pro section. As the lead rider fell, Lynn was concurrently making an overtake on second-place, which put him into the lead heading out into the meat of the first lap. Initially, Lynn set sail and opened up over ten seconds on the pack of chasing pro riders. As he settled into the second lap, a bit of tightness crept into Lynn’s forearms, which slowed his pace. The trio of Dante Oliveira, Austin Walton and Dare DeMartille were able to make their way by, putting Tyler in fourth place through the early stages.

Lynn battles weren’t done, as Tallon LaFountaine caught him as the race neared the halfway-mark, and pit stops. LaFountaine was able to make the move by, but Lynn had begun to find his groove. Just before the fuel stops, Tyler made his way back into fourth place and set his sights on the lead group. The Team Green pilot began clicking off fast laps as he gained on DeMartille. After making the move into third, Lynn pushed further, closing the distance on Oliveira and Walton. As the white flag cam out, Tyler had closed to within twenty-seconds of the leading Oliveira, and eight seconds of Walton. The lead riders held their pace high through the final lap, though, and Tyler wasn’t able to close any further. Still, the impressive ride locked down third place in the overall standings for the season.

Robby took the hole shot over a solid line of racers, including vet pro, jr. vet and 15-24 yr. A classes. After taking the point position, Bell set consistently quick laps, pulling out a gap on the field and allowing him to take his pick of the racecourse real estate. Robby was one of only two riders in the race to make the 50-minute cut and get an extra lap. This gave him nearly sixty minutes to enjoy the well-prepped, sandy conditions at Primm and he took the checkered flag to take the overall race win.
