Tim Johnson would soon drop Powers who found company from his other teammate Jamey Driscoll in second and third. Behind, riders came and went one after another. First if was Troy Wells and Chris Jones charging hard from behind. Then Jones disappeared and Jesse Anthony joined Wells in the fight for fourth and fifth. Meanwhile, a pair of mountain bikers were closing fast on the front of the race. Adam Craig would ride his way up to Powers and Driscoll before settling into fourth for the remainder of the race. Wells sat comfortably in 5th until the finish. In the fight for 6-10, Jesse Anthony just held on to sixth ahead of a hard charging Danny Summerhill.
