-Ryder Difrancesco
In the final moto of the day before consolation races, the 65 (7-11) group hit the track wide open. In a class with such depth in age and talent levels, it’s hard to guess who will come out of the trenches on top. However today when all was said and done it would be the #199 Team Green ride of Ryder Difrancesco coming out victorious. Ryder D pushed hard during the final first moto to claim the last transfer spot directly to the main event action and he was stoked to say the least. The #199 Team Dunlop backed ride was ripping around the Mini O’s outdoor track giving lessons on the fastest way around Gatorback on a 65cc machine.
