@HUSQVARNA’S ANDREW @DELONG 3RD OVERALL AT @RATTLESNAKE NATIONAL

Husqvarna factory rider Andrew DeLong picked up a confidence building third overall at the weekend, competing closer to home at the Rattlesnake National Enduro at Cross Fork, Pennsylvania.

Delong was first out following his win in Rd. 6 in Michigan and was optimistic that he might be able to land another win following his victory in Rd. 6 of the competition in Michigan. The weather was on his side but heavy growth over the entire course made it tough to be starting at the front of the field.

Aided by ideal weather and a well-prepared Husqvarna FE 350, DeLong made quick work of the first few special tests scoring a pair of seconds and a third by a narrow margin. His results varied slightly throughout the remaining specials and a few mistakes took their toll.

"The Rd 6 win was a confidence builder for Andrew but starting first today (as a result of the win) adds pressure and made things more challenging," said Husqvarna team manager Andy Jefferson. "He broke trail for the rest of the guys and that's hard work." Jefferson went on to say that Andrew commented at the end of his race that he couldn't get back into the rhythm he had earlier in the day."

"Even without a win, this was a pretty good day,” Jefferson added. “His third place finish puts him into the series points lead and with a trio of races left, it's going to be exciting!"
