Husqvarna’s Gomez claims another podium in Women’s EnduroCross

Husqvarna rider Sandra Gomez of Spain returned to the US on Saturday to claim yet another podium in the penultimate women’s event at the AMA EnduroCross Championship at Boise, Idaho, the eighth round of the 2014 series.

On a night of below freezing temperatures far cooler than what Gomez is accustomed to at home in Spain, riders toughed it out on a daunting track at the Fort Idaho Center just outside Boise. She was close to taking her third consecutive victory in the women’s competition when she got hung up in the woodpile in the final corner and had to settle for second place. While Gomez had to concede victory to Lexi Pechout in the last corner she was still pleased to wrap up her evening in second place.

Gomez, who also recorded the fastest lap time, has been impressive since she joined the competition in round five at the halfway mark of the season. She has taken two wins, one second and one podium third from her four starts riding her Husqvarna TC 125 machine.
