Winning at Windham was the name of the game andA�watching the race you could tell everyone was going flat outA�to getA�the win! This is evidenced by the large number of crashes and mechanicals, whenA�riders areA�pushing so hard you are bound to flirt with the fine line of having a clean run or not!
