Moto 1 brought a solid 9th place finish after getting caught in the gate and having to work for some fast passing in the first lap. In moto 2, while charging to make a pass for 7th position just 3 turns from the finish, Cheyenne took a hard downhill crash into a wall which brought out the medic flag.
