its because dan was in his first year of elite.... AND he wasnt far off of qualifying still.... i think thats pretty good going... im not even a junior !! im a cadet! which makes me not even a junior but i still had to ride it because there was no lower classes !!... and savage is in his last year of juniors.. so he had it easy compared to others... i also saw him let off with some stupid marks (Y).... i rode just before savage... he couldnt even get up the first part (he had to dab it!) which i cleaned... he also bashguarded a log and got let off with that point and i managed to tap it to back tire... god knows how hes euro champ..... when there is a cadet who is doing things that he cant do (Y).... maybe hes just lucky...
