As we head to Paris Tx for rd. 4 . Of the ๐๐ข๐ช๐ฎ๐ข ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ซ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ, letโs take a look at some of the leaders.
The Jr 10-12 Lites and Jr 10-12 4-S-L Cash McClure has been absolute lightning on the water, but Travis Billings and Lincoln Schuyler are exactly the kind of riders who know how to find an extra gear when the pressure is on and you can bet the intensity is going to step up a notch at Lake Crook!
The Junior Battles to Watch
๐๐๐ฌ๐ก ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ซ๐: Holding down that top spot is no small feat. Cash has shown incredible consistency and poise, commanding the field early on.
๐๐ซ๐๐ฏ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ: Fresh off some massive momentumโincluding sweeping the Junior Ski Lites out West recentlyโTravis is dialed in, aggressive, and hungry to close that gap.
๐๐ข๐ง๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ง ๐๐๐ก๐ฎ๐ฒ๐ฅ๐๐ซ: A textbook smart racer. Lincoln stays right in the mix, waiting for the slightest opening to capitalize and steal the lead.
With the โRoad to Havasuโ points race heating up, every single moto in Paris is going to carry massive weight for these young athletes. This stop is where the seasonโs narrative really starts to solidify and watching these three battle it out line-for-line
is going to give the fansโand the CBS Sports Network camerasโexactly the kind of high-stakes drama that defines the national tour.
The future of the sport is on full display this weekend!
๐๐จ๐ฆ๐๐ง ๐๐ข๐ญ๐๐ฌ, Sophie Benson has established herself on top of the leaderboard. However, she has a storm chasing her in the form of the Kennedy duoโKaylee Kennedy is locked into second, with Kendra Kennedy sitting right behind in third, ready to make a family podium sweep a reality if Benson slips up.
The ๐๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ ๐๐ฉ๐๐ class is delivering pure chaos with a three-way tie for first place between Ryder Bliss, Tory Snyder, and Joey Mauldin. The stakes are incredibly high here, as everyone is asking the same question: Who is going to dig deep, separate themselves from the pack, and earn that highly coveted Competitive Crank rebuild?
๐๐ค๐ข ๐๐จ๐ ๐๐๐๐: Another deadlock at the top. Baron Mernick and Kashe Crawford are tied for first, meaning Crawford is pulling double-duty managing ties in two separate premier divisions, the second of which is Pro/am Ski Lites.
๐๐ค๐ข ๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐๐ญ๐จ๐๐ค: Thomas Lambert of LVP Jetsports has put on a clinic of consistency, commanding the lead with 120 points. David Zipperian is currently chasing second with 60 points, looking for a breakout weekend in Texas to close that gap.
๐๐จ๐ฏ๐ข๐๐ ๐๐๐๐: Thomas Lambert is pulling a power move this season, leading yet another division. Behind him, a fierce three-way brawl is underway for the second-place tier, with Ty Smith, Jeremy Keech, and Adrian Fisk all neck-and-neck.
The ๐๐ซ๐จ-๐๐ฆ ๐๐๐๐ class sees Josh Simon and Shelby Warman tied at the top of the board, setting up a classic battle of execution under pressure.
The nostalgia is loud and fast in the ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ฌ ๐๐๐ญ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ฉ๐๐ง, where a brand-new crank is on the line. Axl Jaracz and Ryan Grant are currently tied for first, keeping the vintage era alive!
We also have explosive new energy injecting itself into the
๐๐ฑ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ญ ๐๐ class. The new entries have immediately shaken up the leaderboard, with Thomas Boucher on the Liqui Moly backed Fast Powersports F16 storming into the mix with 60 points, followed closely by Patrick Parker at 53, and Cooper Schexnyder right
there with 48.
If you want to talk about grid density, look no further than the
๐๐ฆ ๐-๐-๐ division. Kyle Desrosiers has done an incredible job navigating the chaos to secure first place. Behind her is an absolute logjam: a three-way tie for second place between Sophia Benson, Jax Rowe, and Javier Falcon. Sitting just on the margins
in third is the ever-dangerous Ty Smith. Paris is going to be a traffic jam of talent in this class.
๐๐ซ๐จ-๐๐ฆ ๐๐ญ๐จ๐๐ค: With some of the top names in the sport like Snyder, Caldwell, Cardone and Benedetti this class is going to be one to watch when get to the end of the Road to Havasu.
The unique ๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ๐๐ class sees James Gagnon and Joshua Breaux deadlocked for first.
In the veteran ranks, the ๐๐๐ญ ๐๐ class is mirroring that intensityโCurtis Pittman and Ryan Grant are tied for first place, while Alan Wyss and Derek Mroski are matched up in a tie of their own for second.
The premier ๐๐ซ๐จ-๐๐ฆ ๐๐ค๐ข ๐๐ class is delivering the exact high-octane drama fans tune in for. Brayden Sebben still holds the top spot on his Kommander watercraft with 99 points. Right on his tail is another Kommander pilotโShawn Dudekโsitting in second with 86 points, while Charles Guinchard is a mere two points back in third with 84 on hid Bullet.
The plot thickened drastically in Lake Havasu, where some of the top riders in the sport entered the hunt, Harley Ritchie won the weekend with consistency, but with racers like Crawford, Poper and Girello he will need more than just consistency to win against
them again! Christopher Landis is currently tied with Ritchie, making this upcoming Texas stop a critical pivot point for both racers. Furthermore, River Crawford and David Cabrera are sitting perfectly in striking distance, poised to jump right to the absolute
top of the leaderboard with their next moto wins.
