Interesting day for Day 3 in Portugal! Two of the six tests were cancelled, due to excessive dust and then timing equipment issues, making every other test much more crucial. Nonetheless, big action throughout the day for both Trophy and Club riders. Here's what went down:
Mojo/SXS Club Team & other Club news
The Mojo/SXS Club Team continues to have all riders have good times. With Whipple's Day 1 setback, we are now in 50th out of 93 on the Club Team standings, but not dead last! Anthony Ferrante continues to lead the charge, and he now sits at 14th Club Overall and 7th in C2 class. He had a slight crash in a test but nothing to be worried about.
Fellow Mojo/SXS Club Team rider Nathan Ferderer plugs away on another day now sitting in the 38th spot for Club Overall and 15th in C1 class.
Last Mojo/SXS Club Team rider Tanner Whipple is making the most his ISDE week and continues to crawl up the standings, now at 51st Club Overall and 14th in C3 class.
Away from our club team we have Anson Maloney who finally passes his younger protege Ferrante and ends the day now in 11th Club Overall and 5th in C2 class! He is definitely fired up on that and continues to charge. He and the Missouri Mudders club team remain in 3rd in the standings.
Young ripper Maverick Allaway continues his impressive first ISDE and improves upon yesterdays results, ending Day 3 in 25th Club Overall and 10th in C1 class!
