Purvines Round 5 Update
OutdoorHub 04.29.14
Axel Pearson came into Round 5 looking for redemption after a rough Round 4, and was able to put together a solid day aboard the Beta for a top 15 overall finish. After quickly swapping brake systems in the pits, Pearson continued to charge. Pearson reflects on his day, “The last loop I rode a good race and passed up to 8th overall by the finish. I am happy to finish and gain some points!”
Teammate Tallon Taylor climbed his way into the overall after helping a fellow fallen rider early in the race. Because there was little dust in the back, Taylor continued to pick off riders until the finish. Taylor summarizes his day saying, “I am pretty happy with the day, on paper it doesn’t look too good but it was the best I have rode all year I feel like, so I am happy about that! I definitely think that I would have at least had a top 10 today if I hadn’t stopped, but I don’t regret doing that for a second! I really can’t thank the Purvines team enough for all their support this season! I haven’t been getting the results that they expect out of me but they have stuck behind me and want me to succeed as bad as I want too!”
Round 6 resumes on May 3rd in Jericho, Utah where Nick Burson looks to extend his points lead. Lastly, the Beta USA/Purvines Team wishes Justin Morrow a speedy recovery.
