For competition in Minnesota, the Flo Motorsports backed Gizmo Mods/Rock River/Yamaha team was prepared to excel in the toughest of conditions. The Spring Creek circuit presented a number of challenges — but each member of the Yamaha unit was exceptional en route to the finish line.
The Flo Motorsports equipped number thirty-five of Marshal Weltin would accelerate through practice to earn a strong starting position for 450MX moto-one. Marshal's sportsmanship was presented in the first moto, where he turned around on the racetrack to help a fallen rider who was stuck beneath their motorcycle. From there, he presented a multitude of strong laps en route to gathering an eventual standing of twenty-sixth — and with his improvement in moto-two (where he earned seventeenth at the finish line), the nineteenth overall feat he ultimately collected, was one of immense recognition.
Valentin Guillod was extraordinary throughout practice, and his momentum was sustained throughout the entirety of each moto. Across every aspect of the Minnesota landscape, Flo Motorsports backed Guillod thrived — resulting in spectacular finishes of tenth (in moto-one) and sixth (in moto-two), propelling the native of Switzerland to eighth in the final standings of the 450MX division.
Pennsylvania's Bryce Shelly continued on his stellar trajectory, which had been heightening for weeks. in practice, he was quick when sprinting through the roughest areas of the racetrack with the help of his Flo Motorsports foot pegs— and his outstanding sense of carrier speed was sustained amongst each 450MX moto. With a tremendous effort, Shelly assembled scores of twentieth and twenty-first, for twenty-third overall in the record book.
Illinois' Keegan Rowley continued to show fierce determination through each practice session. He was smooth throughout the roughest areas of the track, and as he advanced to the 250MX LCQ, the momentum of the Flo Motorsports athlete was superb. Despite encountering a bit of bad Luck, Rowley's skills were recognized by all in attendance — and as he crossed the finish-line in thirty-fifth, the Midwest native was determined to continue improving amongst the rest of the series.
Bronson McClure presented remarkable line choices throughout practice, and his skills on the Flo Motorsports equipped motorcycle continued to ascend as the 250MX LCQ came to fruition. Through every circuit of the four-lap mote, McClure displayed mistake-free maneuvering, resulting in a fourth-place accolade at the checkered flag. In the moto's that followed, Bronson competed alongside premier-level athletes from start-to-finish — earning scores of thirty-eighth and thirty-seventh, for fortieth overall.
California's Kyle Wise was eager for competition to begin on Saturday, and as he charged throughout the Minnesota circuit, his lap-times were paralleled to the best riders in the division. His display of momentum propelled him into the 250MX main event(s) that followed — and across the two-moto format, Kyle accumulated results of thirty-first and thirty-eighth, for thirty-sixth overall.
With racing at the Spring Creek venue finalized, the Flo Motorsports backed Gizmo Mods/Rock River/Yamaha team will set their sights on the Washougal circuit. Action is set to transpire next Saturday in the Pacific Northwest, and both, athletes and crew members are destined to succeed as moto's take place in the state of Washington.
